John Tory’s Anti-END THE LOCKDOWN Rally Goon Squad — “It Felt like Tienamen Square, Not Toronto”
<\/strong>
This past Saturday, police were out in full force at Yonge-Dundas Square yet again to\u00a0violently shut down<\/strong>\u00a0Toronto\u2019s weekly anti-lockdown protest.\u00a0<\/strong>

As one protester succinctly put it, Yonge-Dundas Square was more reminiscent of Tiananmen Square than the bustling downtown plaza we’ve come to know and love.

Unlike the week before, however,\u00a0protesters weren\u2019t even able to enter the area,<\/strong>\u00a0as police had it completely cordoned off \u2014 forcing the crowd to peacefully assemble across the street where they were picked off, one by one, for exercising their right to protest.\u00a0There seems to be a whole new litany of things citizens cannot do in the vicinity of Yonge-Dundas Square. These include (and we\u2019re not making this up):\u00a0Standing alone on the sidewalk\u00a0Waving a Canadian flag\u00a0Chanting anti-lockdown rhetoric\u00a0Painting anti-lockdown messages on one\u2019s minivan\u00a0

The police also made sure to\u00a0harass, shove, and bully Rebel News reporters<\/strong>\u00a0who were there to do\u00a0what the mainstream media was unwilling to do \u2014\u00a0cover and report on the rally.

Where was this reaction during the Black Lives Matter protests this summer?<\/strong>If you recall, Toronto police refused to condemn those protests, choosing to capitulate and take a knee instead.\u00a0I made sure to ask every police officer I talked to about that, but unsurprisingly, they had little to say about the matter.In any event, the protesters remained defiant and continued with their plans to march around the city.\u00a0

You can watch my entire report\u00a0right here<\/u><\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>More than 100 police officers greeted the protesters who were brave enough to return to Yonge-Dundas Square. And just like at the start of the protest, officers continued with their pugilistic enforcement tactics.

Toronto police have reached a new low and have obliterated whatever public trust still remained.\u00a0They’re no longer upholding their oath to serve and protect the people<\/strong>, preferring to do the bidding of our political elites instead. \u00a0What were they trying to accomplish with this disgraceful abuse of power and how much did this farce cost the taxpayers? To what end exactly?\u00a0

More importantly, what do Mayor Tory\u2019s thugs have in store for us this weekend? \u00a0<\/strong>We\u2019ll be back this Saturday to find out. Stay tuned.\u00a0Yours truly,\u00a0David Menzies<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
