Human Rights Watch claims Mounties sexually abuse native women

I know what most Canadians are thinking when they read about the Human Rights Watch report on the RCMP's abuse of native women.

They are thinking this can't be true. I'll admit that's my first reaction too. It's not something we want to believe is possible, especially insofar as it involves our iconic RCMP.

But there are other things we thought couldn't be true that have been borne out, such as Canadian cops dumping intoxicated natives in the wilderness to freeze to death.

Sadly, if that is possible, anything hinted at in the Human Rights Watch report is possible too.
