sabotabbyPolice launched a massive raid in the neighbourhood at the centre of the Rob Ford crack video scandal, arresting 43 people, of which the Honourable Wife-Beating, Drunk-Driving, Bird-Flipping, Crack-Smoking Mayor was, sadly, not one. The house featured in the crack video was one of the ones they raided. They seized 40 guns and $3 million in drugs, and missed the boat by calling it "Project Traveller" instead of "Operation Gravy Train."
Yet another stark example of how, if you're a young black guy involved in the drug trade and the police find out, you'll go to jail. If you're a white millionaire who becomes mayor, the police will help you cover your tracks. Oh yeah, Toronto police knew about the crack video for weeks before the Gawker story broke.
The laughable bumblefuck, meanwhile, claims ignorance because his cable was out. It's almost as if he doesn't carry around a little device capable of accessing the largest collection of information accumulated in human history. I hear these devices can also make phone calls, like to his buddies in the police department. (Note: If this device did exist, you should not use it while driving.)
That's law enforcement in Toronto for you.
Apropos of nothing but I didn't feel like making a separate post: If you're having a bad day, I suggest you watch this video of Turkish protesters singing "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Hell, even if you're having a good day, check it out 'cause it's awesome.

Date: 2013-06-14 09:23 pm (UTC)I have been very quiet about it in my LJ all the time. (ElseNet, I've been a bit more forthcoming, mostly as status updates as I see things.) Something that I want to write out has been percolating. But it's been hard---being here and watching there---so pride and pain and shame go together. But, again, it's not about me. It is so much not about me.
I talked to my cousin on the phone earlier today. It was hard to talk, because it was noisy where she was (for reasons you may guess)...
