A fight you don't have to pick sides in

Wow.  The RCMP's senior command is in meltdown, open revolt against the Commissioner.

So on one side we have the senior leadership and collective organizational/cultural memory of a closed, tribal, hierarchical organization that's been described as "horribly broken."

On the other hand we have a longtime bureaucrat and current Harper political appointee, with Harper's personal mandate to fix that organization, who's being described as arrogant, abusive, closed-minded and impossible to work with.

Sometimes ... life is kind.
