The Netherlands has a double standard when it comes to protests:

yesterday's BLM protest was allowed,

Today's anti-Lockdown protest was prohibited by the mayor and judge
If you still go use your legal rights to protest as a citizen, you are welcomed by the Police 👇🏻
People in the Netherlands: Can you please send me more videos and stories of the anti-government protest in the Hague today? The Police is being used for political games. The World needs to hear about the excessive police force and the double standards. BLM protest was allowed.
This is sick! This is dangerous! The Police is driving a bus with speed into a group of Dutch people! 😳

I really do think many Dutch people got a wake up call today looking at how they are treated today. #Malieveld
But I am sure next year they are all just gonna vote for the people and parties who made this double standard and Police State possible. 🤷‍♀️
THE NETHERLANDS IS DENYING DUTCH PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST. #MALIEVELD

The Police is present in big numbers which was not necessary as it was going to be a peaceful presence of people even though the official protest was unlawfully forbidden by the Mayor.
The whole World can see now what the Dutch do against their own citizen who want to peacefully protest against the government which is a basic right. (yesterday's protest for BLM was allowed by the way)

VIDEO: I see that this woman holds up flowers to dutch Police (the peaceful protesters were asked to bring flowers💐) the Police officer suddenly charges towards her hitting her, and the other dutch people get rightfully upset. 🙄

This is not a good look for the Netherlands, or should I call them by their new nickname "PoliceState"? 🤔 #PeacefulProtest #Malieveld

Know that these protesters are at a large open field in The Hague used for years for peaceful protests. Makes no sense to get so many Police there to "impress" the remaining peaceful protesters.

Try to convince me that this is normal. 😳

I am sickened that the Dutch Police came out with so much force.😳 Even using innocent horses against Dutch citizens. This only made everything worse. Why don't they let Dutch citizens peacefully protest?? Or show me the rioters if they were there!

Another eyewitness account of an ex-police officer who tells the camera he was hit a few times by a police officer, and he is very much ashamed of the Police today #Malieveld
I have seen a video I believe of this ex police officer being hit by the police, but can't find it anymore. Anybody else have this video?
So the news I am getting from the people that were actually present at the protests against the government and coronavirus/lockdown measures that they want to put into Law, is that 1000s of people peacefully gathered, until Police started making their presence known. #Malieveld
Some followers were so nice to send me the video of the ex cop being hit by the police officer in full riot gear. This is not normal. #malieveld

Please use hashtag #malieveld to find out more eyewitness accounts and videos of the protest today which was mishandled by the Police and people in charge, and I am ashamed of that. 🤦‍♀️ Why were they at a peaceful protest in full anti-riot gear and going in without warning?
If there were any rioters that started first with violence, the eyewitness reports say it wasn't at #Malieveld The Hague, The Netherlands. That was peaceful until the Police started to charge without warning 👇🏻

Video of the peaceful protest at #Malieveld today 👇🏻
It is now obvious that the Dutch police and people in charge mishandled the protest today terribly! 😱

Why can they do their job when BLM protests? And why are they violent towards civilians who were peacefully present?
Another incidence 👇🏻#Malieveld

The one thing I hear in many videos is Dutch citizens calling out to the police " Hey! Doe eens normaal!" after a police officer misbehaves like in above video.

Translation :"Hey! Act normal!!" because what is happening is that local bystanders are attacked. That is not normal.
A reconstruction by an observer of what happened today @ #Malieveld

If you were present today, let me know if this is how you experienced it as well! 👇🏻
I hope the Dutch police is embarrassed by their behavior. Because I know I am.😳 Steering innocent horses into people who cannot escape.😲

This is shocking to watch😳
This is handled so badly!🙈
Ridiculous! 👇🏻
Another incident of excessive force by the Police in the Netherlands.
Is this normal??? 😳 #Malieveld
As comparison, this was a protest yesterday. Same place.😳

Why couldn't the Police come and kneel with the protesters today in their bid to protest an unlawful lockdown, which is their Right?🤔

Why did they bring many officers vehicles, and weapons? 🤔

Watch this video showing what the undercover police did.. are these the "drugged out hooligans" Prime Minister Rutte was talking about? 🤔... What are they doing... stirring the pot?? 😳 Why are they there?! #malieveld

This whole situation stinks.🤨

Another eyewitness account of what happened yesterday at #Malieveld. 👇🏻
Another video of undercover agents aka 'hooligans' getting into a police van during the protest.. strange!🤔
#malieveld
Yesterday at #Malieveld 👇🏻

A few things the Dutch Police did:

➡️Showering elderly people with force.

➡️Forcing out a woman just walking her dog in public

➡️ Locking in peaceful protesters

🤨

👇🏻

Is this what we witnessed yesterday at #malieveld? 🤔 Why are they present at certain protests and not at others? 👇🏻
