Edmonton Police torture

If you're a member of the Edmonton police, you can place nine Aboriginal people in a metal box for two hours in 30 C heat and have the presiding officer at your internal disciplinary hearing claim that you "had a genuine concern for the well-being of the people [you] transported that day."
