Journalist David Menzies of Rebel News was arrested while covering a pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, sparking controversy over press freedoms. Menzies, who was later released, faces two criminal charges, which Rebel News vows to fight and win, with plans to sue the police for what they claim are violations of freedom of the press, religion, and movement. The arrest involved Constable Adam Joseph, known as Officer Bubbles for a controversial G20 arrest in 2010, who was seen being verbally abusive to a Rebel News videographer. Rebel News has criticized the Toronto Police for their handling of the pro-Hamas event, accusing them of acting more like escorts than law enforcement. The incident has ignited a debate on the limits of journalism and police conduct at public demonstrations.
