Two police officers acquitted of violence during demonstration against Covid measures
NL TimesTwo police officers who were accused of assault during a demonstration against Coronavirus measures at the Malieveld in The Hague on March 14, 2021 have been acquitted. The two officers used violence when they were arresting a demonstrator, but the Midden-Nederland court ruled that the violence was justified. The Public Prosecution Service recommended 20 hours of community service against one of the officers last month. Instead of that, he sought the confrontation and used violence against the police.” In addition, the court emphasized that the officers had to take action, and ruled that the two did this justifiably “considering the circumstances.” The demonstration was allowed to have a maximum number of people, but the activists did not adhere to this.
