Thousands of anti-lockdown protesters took to the streets of Amsterdam, decrying restrictive fabricated measures against the illusive Corona-virus.
The unauthorized gathering was met with a strong riot police force. The Dutch riot police used water cannons & mounted officers to counter attack the unauthorized anti-lockdown rally in Amsterdam.
The anti-lockdown protesters gathered in the center of the Netherlands capital on Sunday, despite failing to get authorization for the rally from the authorities.
The protesters, who largely lacked face masks and did not exactly observe social distancing rules, decried the restrictive Corona-virus measures, carrying banners reading “Freedom: stop this siege” and chanting such slogans as “What do we want? Freedom!”
While the Netherlands was initially slower than some other countries to respond to the pandemic, it turned to harsher restrictions in December as registered Covid-19 cases mounted.
The gathering was met with a strong law enforcement presence, including police officers in full riot gear and mounted units. Police demanded the protesters disperse, but the crowd failed to comply, with some protesters launching fireworks.
Police then tried to disperse the crowd by force, with some groups of protesters engaging in scuffles with officers.
At least one water cannon vehicle was deployed to back up the police units. Footage from the scene shows the vehicle dousing protesters at point-blank range as they try to block the advance of the police.

Westerners are under a huge crackdown of the liberal regime. Free speech has been destroyed and protest squashed. They even censored a US president. Westerners either need kneel to their liberal masters or face ruin!
