UPDATED: Should Rob Ford apologize to 911 operators?

UPDATED 7:59 a.m. ET: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford apologized Thursday for using profanity during a 911 call on Monday morning.

"I did use the "f-word" at some point as I expressed my frustration with the situation," said Ford. "After being attacked in my driveway, I hope I can be excused for saying the f-word."

Ford denied that he was abusive to the 911 operators. "I never called anyone any names. I apologize for expressing my frustration inappropriately."

In our unscientific poll, which originally appeared below, 89 per cent of CBC Community members thought Ford should apologize.

(Canadian Press)Ford called for police assistance when Mary Walsh, part of the CBC-TV comedy show, approached him in his driveway dressed as the character Marg Delahunty, with cameras rolling.

Ford called 911 twice: once to asked for police and again to ask how long they would take to get there.

Sources say Ford turned on the dispatcher, yelling: "You ... bitches! Don't you f--king know? I'm Rob f--king Ford, the mayor of this city!"
