Show Notes

Alex is joined by Jane Gerster, Global News' National Online Journalist - Features, to talk about the story of a 27-year member of the RCMP that took his own life back in 2013. The inquest into the officer's death lasted less than one week and proved very ltitle but it did raise another startling point. Over the past 20 years, over $220M has been spent by the country's national police force on everything from settling lawsuits, inquiries into Mountie mismanagement as well as examinations of the RCMP's use-of-force.
