      <![CDATA[This is truly great, but make no mistake: the RCMP is a deeply flawed institution, and the journey out of the woods hasn't apparently even begun. No less so for an employee than for the public. Search "RCMP sexual harassment" for recent stories about a July 2012 lawsuit joined by hundreds of female members, one of several that are pending. Then there was the Robert Dzieka&#324;ski incident, in which a middle-aged Polish immigrant who spoke no English was tasered to death at YVR by a set of RCMP officers who were anxious to try out their new gear, then went on to lie on the stand about their criminal collusion.<br />
