Are you looking to move to the USA in order to avoid this corrupt and brutal police force? We sure do have it tough here after all.

I do not think all should be summarily treated the same. But I do think objectively the article I posted speaks to much more than "a couple RCMP officers doing something inappropriate." These are senior ranking supervisory officers at a training facility who were able to behave this way apparently unchecked for years because other officers did not feel they could even speak up for fear of reprisal.
Consider this quote from the report:
Quote:
The review found that during this new inquiry, "several new allegations of misconduct came to light" against Solesme, Calandrini and another instructor.
"Neither management, nor the commanding officer of national headquarters, ordered expanded or further investigations into these new allegations," reads the report.

New allegations of misconduct came to light during a misconduct investigation and nobody did anything to act on them.
The end result of a formal apology from an RCMP Commissioner and the removal from command of a Chief Superintendent with recognition that nobody apparently even knew who in the chain of command was responsible for disciplining instructors is by definition systemic and cannot be explained by a cliche reference to a couple bad apples.
