The RCMP's commissioner says he expresses sincere regret for an extensive spying program that targeted hundreds of Indigenous people.

It's the first time Mike Duheme acknowledged reporting by CBC Indigenous concerning RCMP surveillance activities dating back to the late 1960s against Indigenous leaders and organizations.

"We recognize the serious concerns that this history continues to raise for Indigenous Peoples, families and communities across Canada," Duheme wrote in a statement published Wednesday.

"I express sincere regret, and while we cannot change the past, we can and must acknowledge that these actions and their impact continue to be felt today."

Regrets there is blowback. When you are constantly on the wrong side of history, maybe the hollow apologies aren't enough and institutional change is required.

Few are pleased with the state of policing. Corruption, egregious breeches of ostensible policing standards leave few "proud" of our police. This is what they will admit., but consider the source, and trustworthiness.

It's not like the cops had a good reputation.

ACAB. My ability to actually list the long line of egregious abuses pales compared to the monumentality of the task. It doesn't have to be this way.
