From the images, it turned out that at least one activist is still pepper spray in the face, was sprayed when he was already handcuffed and on the ground. And even if the police wanted to teach just dealing with mankind, to be calm, informed of the consequences. “I can clear out,” said Patrick Roijens. “These are the things that will not be able to do. That is why the police have an internal investigation into the circumstances has begun. There will be appropriate measures have to be taken.”

And now there was a permission given to a group in advance, announced it to disobey you. And now, the police have been to the pispaal. Our people are asking questions just for clarity, so that they have a good understanding of how they should act, and how far they can go. To clarify, it is not, so the officers on the ground, often on the spot, to improvise, and chasing and running.”
the tolerantiegraad for a class then it can be reduced? “No, we have to ask, just neutrality. That’s the same way they decide who we get to argue. This is why we must now be in urgent conversations with the city council. This is no longer possible.”
