Demonstrations in the Dutch Netherlands, in support of their endangered farmers, have escalated to violent clashes between citizens and baton wielding police. The incident depicted in this twitter video shows the moment a horde of oppressed citizens turned the tables on outnumbered cops. It happened in the town of Almelo on Monday afternoon, August 1.
Dutch police pull out batons
The heavy handed tactics of baton wielding police in the Dutch city of Almelo did little to control the crowd.
In fact, it enraged them enough to go on the offensive, forcing a unit of heavily outnumbered cops to run for safety.
It all started with a mural painted on the side of a building in support of local farmers. Mayor Arjen Gerritsen ordered it removed. The image of an “inverted Dutch flag, which has become a symbol of the farmer protest movement” also featured the text “no farmers, no food.”

Local residents know which side of the dispute they’re on, so “a group of protesters came to defend the mural.”
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is heavily strung out on the green agenda Kool-Aid. Agenda 2030 says nitrogen emissions must be slashed by 70 percent by then. So, the farmers simply must accept oblivion. It’s the green thing to do.
They can find other jobs and everyone can eat bugs or lab-grown synthetic meat. This way, all that unused farmland can be developed into housing for refugees escaping Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s all part of the New World Order plan.
Farmers refused to back down
The footage making the rounds of Dutch media, but not any media anywhere else, shows “the peaceful protest turned violent after a police officer shoved an activist and then shortly began swinging his baton, sparking outrage among the other protesters.”
“The rest of the police force were then seen beating back the angered crowd with their batons.” That was only the beginning.
“Undeterred, the Dutch farmers refused to back down, ultimately forcing the police into an apparent retreat.” Police arrested four people by the time it was all over and the dust cleared. Everyone else can expect to be dragged away from home in the near future.
“The police have registered license plates and will still take action against people, so that will have a tail in the context of criminal law.” They can’t let other peasants get the idea they can chase cops around.
Mayor Gerritsen insists that there “were serious disturbances, people committed violence against the police. I do not tolerate that and then I act, together with an excellent team of police officers.” As soon as the streets were clear, “the municipality removed the inverted flag mural, replacing it with a blue and yellow painting reading: ‘Water City.‘”
Protesting Dutch farmers say that’s okay. They have lots more manure and hay bales to burn on freeways nationwide. One thing’s for certain, the farmers are awful busy but they aren’t busy growing food. They have theirs. Sooner or later everyone will wake up and realize that food on the table doesn’t start out at the supermarket.
