Bolivia Police Protest

  Police demanding salary increases burn documents outside a police internal affairs building, in La Paz, Bolivia, Friday, June 22, 2012. Protesters were demanding salaries on par with soldiers and a pension equal to 100 percent of their salaries. Bolivian police earn about $144 a month and were not appeased by a 7 percent government-decreed wage increase this year. (AP Photo/Juan Karita)
