Deja vu as prosecutor throws out Toronto police charges (again!) against David Menzies

The Toronto police continue their woeful losing streak when it comes to shutting down freedom of the press while turning a blind eye to real crimes.

As you may recall, Rebel News reporter David Menzies was arrested by Toronto police last March outside the King Edward Hotel while trying to ask pro-Hamas protesters questions in a public space.

Even though members of this new age Hitler Youth Movement were chanting genocide and blocking roads, apparently the real crime was the possibility that Menzies might ask an impolite query and further trigger the mob. And so it was he was arrested for “obstruct police."

Seriously. Menzies was handcuffed and taken to jail where he was held for hours. Later came the fingerprints and mugshots. In June, those charges were withdrawn due to no reasonable chance of prosecution.

And on Thursday, Menzies was back in court for another false arrest. This time for “trespassing”. That sounds serious, except for the reality of the matter: Menzies was covering the six month vigil of the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre in Israel at Nathan Phillips Square last April.

There were more than 2,000 people converging in what is literally the town square. Pro-Hamas hooligans were also there, chanting genocide and physically assaulting Menzies and cameramen Efron Monsanto.

So, what did Officer Chang (badge #7724) do when he witnessed this? Well, this lazy, incompetent coward arrested Menzies for trespassing! Chang also tried to smash Menzies’ cellphone. Outrageous and egregious. But unsurprisingly, that charge was tossed in a Toronto courtroom, too.

But we’re getting sick and tired of the police targeting, harassing and intimidating one of Canada's most fearless journalists. Please show your support for David Menzies and help us fight back. Please go to StandWithDavid.com and if you’re able to, make a donation.

By the way, we’re done playing defence. Now we’re going on offence. Rebel News is going to sue the Toronto Police Service for violating our Charter rights and freedoms. Please help us stand up for independent journalism as we take a stance against despicable two-tier policing.
