Mounties offer to investigate themselves after scathing Human Rights Watch report

It's telling that the top brass at the RCMP are so stunned that they think investigating themselves is an appropriate response to the allegations of abuse leveled by Human Rights Watch.

Those folks are seriously out of touch and have been for a long time.

This report needs to be independently investigated by outsiders who are in no way beholden to the RCMP's chain of command or their political masters.

A parliamentary commission is not enough. That same parliament oversees the RCMP and has a conflict of interest in any such investigation.

This requires an international investigation with meaningful First Nations representation.

A UN tribunal is in order.
