Fist pump!

You're referring to the Project Traveller wiretaps, right? Because the Brazen 2 wiretaps didn't happen until much later in the game. Do we know that Siad and/or Basso were the subject of Traveller wiretaps?
Oh, I'm sure everyone wants to see the video, for one reason or another. Mostly prurient curiosity, though I'm sure for many it's that primarily they want the straw-grasping, boneheaded apologists to see and acknowledge the video - which may prove disappointing since the goalpost will quickly shuffle further down the field to "how can we tell what's in the pipe." Hotmail Lawyer™ Has already primed that by suggesting that the mayor could be smoking tobacco in this video that doesn't exist.And Parker, no parody. I wanna see the video
Canadians are fairly passive when it comes to rallies or protests. I bet no more then 100 peeps will show up
One persistent question that keeps coming back to my mind is why have the police not charged Ford for the crimes for which they do have plenty of evidence? They may be petty in the context of the purpose of Brazen 2 but not charging Ford with driving while under influence, urinating in public, littering, distracted driving makes for very poor optics.

Chief Blair is fending off allegations that the police had this massive operation and never charged Ford with anything and didn't bust him in the dozens and dozens of exchanges with Lisi where they had probable cause. Yet, by letting him off on these other charges they give those allegations ammunition.
The police need to call Ford in to charge him with each of these instances and should do them one by one so that each is a news story. Of or the benefit of full disclosure since the Mayor is their "boss", the TPS would put out a press release each time. This would really start picking at Ford's image as a crime fighting figure -- an important attribute to many in FordNation.
At the very least, the Mayor should not be left off the hook on any of these charges witnessed directly by police. It just looks terrible on the Toronto Police Service.
