Racist tirade against Calgary cab driver results in no charges — again
The decision comes as the results of an RCMP review looking into the incident were released Thursday.
The RCMP officer who originally responded to the call in Airdrie in 2013 did not charge the passenger at the time, instead encouraging him to pay the driver for damages after the camera mounted on the taxi's dashboard was ripped out. The passenger did so.
The investigation was reopened after a video surfaced showing the exchange surfaced in July.
WARNING: Graphic language
"You son-of-a-bitch, you f—ing (expletive), go back to where you're from, take your wife and four kids," the passenger yelled.
