Every prominent city official and officer who stood in front of a camera last night had, or read from, a prepared statement while Ford blathered on. Surely other officers and Blair have children no? Plus Ford didn't arrive until 9:30pm, 3 hours after the incident.
Ford embarrassed himself with his appearance. It was obvious that he didn't give any thought beforehand about what he was going to say, instead he just "winged it" with inane statements like "I'm here to support our police".
You would think that with a full-time PR person that Ford would have had prepared comments. For example, Ford was remiss in not acknowledging the bravery of the EMS and Fire personnel who raced to the aid of the injured even though a gunman was still on the loose. These first-responders don't have guns or bullet proof vests to protect them. They were the true hero's yesterday but they received no mention from the Mayor who was there to "support the Police".
