Here’s journalist @NatashaMontreal with her hands cuffed behind her back, sitting on the curb.

First she was assaulted by the mob calling for the genocide of Jews and downfall of Canada.

Instead of arresting the masked terror supporters, police — brutally — arrested Natasha. pic.twitter.com/MjYt8DbxA7

She appears to simply be filming when the officer comes and grabs her and they violently take her down.

Is journalism a crime in Canada now?

This is absolutely sickening! https://t.co/2OYmpcqeZ4 pic.twitter.com/zwZCIGWAQn
