In Montreal, pro-Hamas Muslims demonstrated for mass murder of the Jews. A journalist named Natasha Graham filmed them. That was too much for the mob, and too much for the local police, whose concern is not the would-be mass murderers, but rather the consequences of voters seeing what is going on in the city’s streets:
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

This video is longer and shows another angle:
BREAKING: Montreal police arrest independent journalist @NatashaMontreal while she reported on the pro-Hamas protest here in the old city.
The mob cheered as the SPVM works on their behalf. This was after her and I were assaulted openly by the unruly crowd.

Mark Steyn comments:
I was interested to see how Canada’s government-subsidised media would cover the story. The headline from Quebec’s biggest-selling newspaper, Le Journal de Montréal:
***Pro-Palestine demonstration: Purported ‘independent journalist’ arrested in Montreal
The Montrealer insulted and disturbed the demonstrators, all while putting on a show.That’s a bit attitudinal for a purported “news” headline, don’t you think? Here is how purported “non-independent government-subsidised journalist” Francis Pilon begins his story:
***A 45-year-old woman who purports to be an ‘independent journalist’ was arrested in Montreal Sunday night during a pro-Palestine demonstration where she tried to make a splash by filming and insulting demonstrators.
As usual, the press is on the wrong side.
