I have no doubt that many settlers will pan this report because it seems to threaten one of their enduring privileges:  that of seeing and treating Aboriginal women as subhuman objects to be treated with disdain.

From reading the report, the Aboriginal organization that worked on it is calling for more female officers to conduct searches as necessary; it also calls for more training for police officers and creating a domestic violence policy.  No where is the point made that Aboriginal people should be treated differently, and yet we already have some settlers trying to make that point...likely because -in true settler fashion- it is easier to comment on Aboriginal matters from a point of ignorance rather than from a basis of fact.
