Alleged context (feel free to correct if you have info in comments):

After Israeli Maccabi hooligans terrorized Amsterdam, the Dutch government demonized the pro-Palestine movement and banned protests. People came to protest anyways (peacefully)

The police arrested peaceful protesters and put them in a bus. They were driven to a parking lot. The police released them from the bus in a parking lot near a station.

While the protesters were walking to the station the police started hitting them. Allegedly for not moving fast enough.

    Arresting a person in a pissed off crowd isn’t exactly easy.

    What we see in the video is the end of police enforcing dispersal of the crowd. We don’t see the repeated non violent orders to disperse that preceded this.

    The people in the video participated in an illegal protest and ignored repeated police orders to disperse.

    As far as police violence goes, the video isn’t terrible. You even see the cop help up the guy on the ground.
