Pro-Palestinian protest in #Amsterdam turns violent after student rally halted.
"Police were seen using batons against protesters to prevent them from marching past the nearby #Holocaust Monument on their way to Amsterdam city centre.
When protesters arrived at a central Amsterdam University location, protesters barricaded the narrow canal-facing road in front of the university buildings." #hostage #sympathy #terrorists #genevaconventions @palestine @israel

Violence against protesters is not good, but neither is protesters refusing to obey lawful authorities. When protesters force their way into areas that impact public safety, and won't disperse when told to, police have no choice but to stop them, using force if necessary. Police are not paid to get hurt or killed and when they are in danger from a mob, the force will escalate. Unfortunately, the agitators usually escape injury and someone else gets hurt.
