Toronto Sun: Cops ripped for arresting reporter trying to ask Chrystia Freeland questions
He was later released without charges
A reporter was arrested Monday while trying to ask questions of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in public.
Freeland, along with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were in Richmond Hill to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Iran’s military shooting down Flight PS752 as it was bound for Canada via Ukraine.
Everyone on board was killed, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents.

WNU Editor: This incident sadly illustrates the state of freedom of the press in Canada.
It is clear from the above video that this Police officer overreacted, and if he acted alone he should definitely not be on a security detail. And if he was following orders to stop this news reporter from asking questions .... well .... that should concern everyone.
But there is actually a bigger story behind this incident.
Canada's main stream news media is heavily supported and subsidized by the Federal Government. Has this impacted news media coverage of the Trudeau government .... in my opinion it definitely has. I first noticed this change in coverage about 3 to 4 years ago after the Trudeau government announced a massive bailout package for Canada news media .... Journalists question Liberal government's $600M media bailout plan (CBC News).
Basically .... every main stream reporter in Canada now owes a good chunk of his salary to the generosity of the Trudeau government. And this government support is growing .... Feds could subsidize half of Canadian journalist salaries following Google agreement (True North).
Fortunately, Canada does have a vibrant and active independent news media presence that is not supported with funds from the Federal government. Rebel News is one of them, and they cover news stories that the main stream media chooses to ignore.
As for Rebel News reporter David Menzies. His style of asking questions reminds me on how 60 Minutes did their reporting a few decades back, albeit far more milder than how Mike Wallace and what his colleagues did when they went after a story and/or questioned a person with the cameras rolling.

Give it a few more years and you will have black police protecting white politicians, and then all press will say "look, thankfully this far right wing crazy man pretending to be a journalist was stopped and got his head smashed in, hail Trudeau and the WEF"
Plenty of white police officers will sash the head in of a reporter to please politicians.
Black people are waking up to the fact that Liberals in the US (Democrats) and liberals anywhere do not have care a fig about black people. They will sell them put today like they sold them 200 years ago.
Jefferson Davis was a Democrat
Nathan Forrest was a Democrat
...
Biden is a Democrat and he did not want his kids going to some jungle school.
In fluent Democratese, a jungle school is any school which African Americans attend.
the same old silliness again. Dig into the past and note that way back then pro slavery politicians were Democrats. That changed though you have not. Your dragging in the past to comment on the present makes you laughable.
I can not speak for Canada but in the US our papers have lost many subscribers and now 50% of young Americans get their news via social media.
If that occurred in California, that cop would have committed a violation of false imprisonment, {penal code 236} under the color of authority. Depending on the agency and community, he might have been suspended, or fired or prosecuted. The lawsuit would have been a no brainer. the agency settles. If the cop was white and the reporter black, the feds would have jumped in for a civil rights violation. Sorry Canada, without a bill of rights, you have nothing. the cops just say "my bad" and sends you on your way.
I subscribed to Rebel News after that happened. They’re fighting the fight for many of us.

I am not a rube.
Democrats are still pro slavery. They have a new schtick to sell it is all. The reason given is not whites are superior, but Democrats know oh so much and care oh so much. Think as Munchausen by proxy scaled up and done not for attention wh0ring, but for power and money. < Democrat Party in an nutshell.
People have noted it for decades now. When an African-American expresses thought which deviates from Liberal dogma, subsequently gets dogpiled by good liberals everywhere, it is noted that said African American "Wandered off the plantation".
Should Saying Someone Is 'Off The Reservation' Be Off-Limits?
When an African American becomes a Republican, Democrats gang up and beat the fuck out of them in the press and elsewhere to set an example. They do not want others to go off the reservation. Tends to screw up bloc voting.
