So in NL, leftist/climate/social/etc. activists consistently get beaten up by police and arrested overnight to break up protests, with zero recourse or consequences
Meanwhile a bunch of nazi-adjacent farmers in tractors have been blocking highways all day today, endangering drivers, and issuing explicit threats of violence to politicians, and the police are "in talks with them" and "do not have the capacity to break it up"

Another day of nazi farmer highway blockades. An ambulance responding to a medical emergency got blocked. Farmers are now setting fire to shit. Cattle shit was sprayed over roads and in front of buildings. One farmer cut down 100 very old trees in an irrecoverable manner because ????.
Again, cops are standing on the side watching, and doing nothing.

Ah yes, the reason the cops did nothing against the people storming the minister's home was supposedly because "it was an unsafe situation, and our officers chose to prioritize their own safety instead"
Geez, where have I heard that one before?
