Amsterdam Blocking Banks Germany Blocking Roads
The Hot ING Summer Tour in Amsterdam struck again this week, when six activists were arrested at an ING Bank. Unfortunately, some of the arrestees were hurt. This is absolutely unacceptable. Non-violent protesters should never be harmed in this way.. Looking at the pictures - it would appear some pain of compliance was applied by the police to coerce a release of the lockdown device. This is often used when the police are trying to speed things up - but it’s really unfair when you consider how serious the crisis we are in is. These activists merely want for the governments to do their job.
