Wow. Shelley Carroll rises, with the police docs in hand, and alludes to the darkest part of this story: The death of Anthony Smith.
Ivor Tossell @ivortossell
(Carroll alluded to the records of a flurry of phone calls between Ford and the arrested Sandro Lisi, after Smith was killed.)
Edward Keenan @thekeenanwire

One of the stronger speeches of the day there from Thompson. He sounded emotional.
Ben Spurr @BenSpurr
Thompson: "How many of us have come into this chamber wanting to fight violence?... And yet the highest office... is associated with that."
Charlie Gillis @ChasGillis
Ford laughs at a councillor's impassioned plea that he go get help. #TOpoli
