But it didn’t stay funny for long. Six minutes (6:20) into the video, the Toronto police can be seen asking Menzies to stop using the word “terrorism” while filming. The Rebel Media reporter protested that he has free speech rights under the Canadian constitution. Police responded that such words would be considered “incitement” in the context of the protest and demanded he leave the public square.
“I can’t call a terrorist, a ‘terrorist?’” Menzies asked.
“Not in this sort of environment — no, you can’t,” the officer replied. “That’s going to incite a breach of the peace and that is Canadian law. Am I clear? It’s a breach of the peace. You will be placed under arrest.”
“You’re not to use that word again, in here, in this environment. Do you understand me?”
Later the police can be seen pushing Menzies off the public sidewalk and behind barricades and claiming he called protestors terrorists.
I should note “Rebel Media” is the Alex Jones of Canada they are well known for pushing insane crap like RCMP and Trudeau faked a mass shooting to blame it on white males.
He was being rude, verbally accosting people, shoving cameras into people’s faces and being a troll. They kept asking him politely to stop. They simply wanted to peacefully gather, for whatever reason.
As a journalist, he could have politely asked if anyone wanted to talk, and then politely asked questions and listened to answers.
If someone goes to a gathering, accosts people and shoves cameras in their faces and loudly asks trolling questions, the police are going to tell them to move on down the road.
