This week, after more than five years since the death of Dale Culver, two Prince George RCMP officers were charged with manslaughter
Dale Culver, an Indigenous man from Prince George, died in 2017 after police responded to a report that a man was casing vehicles and had later tried to flee on a bicycle. Police pepper-sprayed the 35-year-old during a struggle, but Mr. Culver developed trouble breathing. An ambulance was called, but Mr. Culver collapsed after being taken out of a police car and was pronounced dead shortly after.
In nine of those cases, the Crown declined to lay charges. In two, charges were laid but were later withdrawn. In one, an officer pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving. Only one case went to court, where the officer was acquitted of manslaughter charges in 2020.
But despite the promise of new accountability for police, Mr. MacDonald was blunt in his interview with Nancy about the hurdles his office faces. “There’s a lot of inertia in the justice system in favour of police,” Mr. MacDonald said, adding it was “unacceptable and unfair” that it took so long.
