http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mountie-takes-aboriginal-woman-home-from-jail-cell-to-pursue-relationship-1.2893487
RCMP Const. Kevin Theriault took an intoxicated woman he had arrested out of a cell and drove her to his northern Manitoba home to pursue a personal relationship, according to RCMP adjudication documents obtained by CBC News.
Fellow officers teased and goaded him by text message to see how far he would go, and another constable observed flirting between Theriault and the indigenous woman, saying he jokingly made a comment about having a threesome with her.

(14,733 posts)1. Your handle goes rather well with this disgusting story.
Showing that even in Canada, law enforcement thinks it can simply commit the crimes for which others are arrested.
'To pursue relationship (with intoxicated woman)' = 'rape'.

Or am I missing something ?

He's in jail. You know how it is... Ours liked to rape intoxicated Native Women too, imagine that!
Wtf? Sad, but not shocking to me unfortunately. I met the rape cop in my city once... You could tell he was creepy. His partner was okay but they did not seem close.

The senior officer in the detachment first said it wasnt right for Theriault to take the woman out of custody but finally said: You arrested her, you can do whatever the f--k you want to do.
