Dutch riot police used water cannon and batons on Sunday to disperse a crowd of several thousand anti-lockdown protesters gathered in the centre of The Hague a day before national elections.

Police took action after the protesters flouted social distancing rules, ignored warnings to disperse and threw fireworks and other objects at the police.

A warning shot was fired by police when protesters kicked a police dog and threatened the dog’s handler during an arrest, a police statement said. Many in the crowd, gathered at the central Maliveld field in the city, were holding yellow umbrellas in a show of opposition and chanted “Love, freedom, stop dictatorship.”

Voting in the national election will start on Monday, with polls open for three days to help to ensure social distancing at polling stations. Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s conservative VVD Party looks set to get a new four-year mandate after being in power since 2010.

Excuse me but is that shield made out of straw

The Maastrichian empire.

This is the police state creep that government need to suppress the population during the reset that's on its way.

Dutch Cops

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about JacksonWilliam0 wealth how he helped investors to earn lot of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

So they unleash the Deutsch dogs on Dutch(Downhill, aerodynamic) people for peacefully pretesting to open up their businesses, livelihood, schools, etc. (basically Freedom). Very well then, I like the path Europe is heading towards.

Nice

this is worse than HK

This is nothing compared to what is happening in Greece right now. Police brutality, pedophile scandals and fatal road accidents in front of greek parliament. And all of the above coming with greek government's involvement.

Anti-lockdown protest is the result of a story not being told well enough - of a health imperative that is less than convincing.

We need that police here in 🇨🇱

The police should fire dart rounds with coronavirus vaccine

And people don't see anything wrong with this?
