'Undignified and silly': RCMP conduct board accused of bias over 'Three Amigos' references

  • A police conduct board will continue its hearing for three British Columbia RCMP officers facing dismissal over alleged racist group chats.
  • The panel found no sufficient evidence to suggest bias, asserting that tribunal members act fairly by law.
  • Allegations against the officers include exchanging inappropriate messages about a Mexican sexual assault victim and jokes about 'Tasering unarmed Black people.'
  • Defence lawyer Wes Dutcher-Walls claimed the board's emails referred to the officers as 'the three amigos,' suggesting bias, which was disputed by RCMP conduct authority lawyer John MacLaughlan.
