Power corrupts.
An abysmal betrayal of public trust by an organisation held in high regard throughout the world. They have done the reputation of the RCMP a grave disservice and maybe irreparable damage. There must be many former members turning in their graves.
Sadly, it also goes to show how readily the average enforcer can be used as a goon when conditions allow and the leadership directs.
Hopefully the political will exists to punish those responsible so as nothing like it happens again but I doubt it.
