Someone's got a very bad memory:

Mark Towhey‏@towhey
Why on Earth would @BobKinnear113 & @ATULocal113 #ATU113 protect drunk drivers at the #TTC? Shame. @maddcanada #Toronto

Lenny Ease‏@isopper
@towhey @BobKinnear113 @ATUlocal113 @maddcanada come on Mark. You protected a drunk driving Rob Ford. You have no leg to stand on here

@isopper That never happened. Not once. Not ever.

From Towhey's book:

From those quotes, Towhey didn't do anything to protect Rob Ford while drunk driving. He protected Chris's identity by making it an anonymous report, and the Toronto Police protected Rob Ford from charges.

maybe Towhey never had a chance to wrestle keys away from a drunk/high Ford, but he did enough to protect him that he should probably keep his mouth shut (ahem, NOT calling CAS/911 when an impaired Ford called him in the midst of a fight in which a gun was mentioned and children were present).

A sin of omission is still a sin.
 
According to the screencapped quote in pattycakes' post, it was the police coming to tell Towhey that Ford was driving drunk? So what's the point of calling 911? The police already knew and weren't doing shit. All that before they were even officially tailing him.

That's the part that got me. Assuming there's at least a grain of truth in Towhey's book, the cops were covering for Ford for years. While we all suspected as much, to have it confirmed was an an eye opener. Who do you call? Not 911.
 
Ah yes, all that Ford support for the front line officers, or how much farther up did that support actually go? No wonder Robbie didn't "need" security beyond his volunteer driver Sandro.
