This video report includes a bunch of wiretap audio: https://www.thestar.com/news/2016/08/11/how-police-wiretaps-embroiled-rob-ford.html

Pretty sure Tory is talking about Doug.

Did none of these mooks ever watch The Wire?

Maybe they figured they're too low level to be a concern? I wonder how their communication has adapted since this bust.

Wondering if the current up-tic in gun violence are attempts to fill in gaps in gangs' territories related to the video and wiretaps in question.

Well, a whole bunch of them are in jail, so it's probably tapping out code on the bars or swapping scraps of paper in the shower.

Ya, I'm thinking the new generation. Every time guys got busted in The Wire the next generation figured out a new way to communicate.

I gotta laugh at the claims that this somehow vindicates Ford. Good Lord, does the crack video actually make him look good? The man was still a Goddamn pig, which the video clearly demonstrates.
In the meantime, just what the hell were the Toronto police trying to accomplish? The notion of being out-foxed by a pea brain like Ford surely can't be sitting well...but were they really trying to nail him all along? Was this honest incompetence at work, or were they actually protecting the rotten sack of shit? A little from Column A, a little from Column B, perhaps? I wonder if we'll ever know for certain...

At least some of them were smart enough to put everything in court filings so it had to go public - otherwise they wouldn't have been able to release it. Totally schizophrenic though - protect him while he drives drunk, convict him in the court of public opinion.

I'd say a little from Column A and a shit ton from Column B. How many times could any of us get away with a fraction of this stuff? All the 911 calls to his house, the serial drunk driving, then factor in all the gangs and indiscrete blow transactions & usage and the level of incompetence required for him to slip through all the cracks every single time is just not realistic. So, mostly Column B gets my vote.
