Rob Ford's Toronto

I used to love antiquing, but then the shootings got out of hand. We need more effective blunderbuss control people!

Ran into former Ford staffer @a_massoudi today, who offered help with Techsdale. Meeting with @MichaelFordTO in a couple weeks. Crazy world.

I didn't think that Massoudi would ever be nice to a former rival!

@BautistaBomb Michael Ford has been very supportive of the Rexdale community. And FWIW, I like him.

A Ford I don't mind being in office!

Muzik nightclub shooting: Paid-duty police work suspended pending review

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...olice-work-suspended-pending-review-1.3185168

Heard this on the radio early this a.m. Anyone know/care to speculate what this is about?

Possible liability?

Possible liability?

There should be a mandatory "arrive alive" style service for leaving customers, to make sure they get a taxi efficiently and safely.

 

[evvabeing]

this is incorrect, right?

The paid-duty officers that were at the scene of the Muzik nightclub shooting have been suspended by the police force.

paid duty policing has been suspended at muzik, not the officers that were there themselves, right?

 

[evvabeing]

Under the terms of agreement, posted on the TPS website, “a paid duty may be cancelled by a police officer on the site of the paid duty where there is a concern for public safety.”

if it's not safe enough for police officers to be there, how is it safe enough for patrons?!?

Who is Ken Thompson? Oh, she means Michael Thompson. Good to see Doug wasn't identified as Rob.

Gawd! Seeing that psycho grin first thing in the morning is pretty disturbing. He was due to turn up again. I guess he never got the chance to rally the Nation from the gallery. It's refreshing to not have to hear his inane prattling every day.

That's why I found it weird that TPS announced the suspension of paid duty @ Muzik - initial reports of the shootings in The Star had cops (Schertzer) stating that security @ Muzik had been good. There'd been regular cops, paid duty officers and Muzik's own security officers. Sounds like more than enough liability to go around. And the cops know about Muzik; all the paid duties who were there signed up for it. Haven't read today's paper yet but haven't heard anything about the 3 injured parties . I don't think this was "random violence" but more like the "known to police" type - there was a least one statement from cops referring to "gang related".

What does it take to suspend paid duty when to the cops and their union its like a sacrament?

I would avoid CP2Ford right now if the TV is on. They have a Ford on TV.

here are a few extra details...

Saunders said Duvel Hibbert, 23, was the intended target of last week’s fatal shootings outside Muzik nightclub. Saunders also confirmed the two shooting scenes — inside the club and at Dufferin Gates — are “forensically linked.”

http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2...nesses-to-come-forward-in-muzik-shooting.html

however, if he was 'the' (as in only) intended target, and the shooting that killed him happened first, why did the shooting continue outside of the club?

also...

A senior police source said the security set up at the event was woefully inadequate given the number of attendees.
