Darn protesters not protesting peacefully against genocide. I really hate it when ~~Israel bombs hospitals~~ people spray some graffiti on walls.
This isn't about not being peaceful, this is about behaving like football hooligans and not about spraying some graffiti. The money spent on replacing the stuff they break is enough to build multiple schools and hospitals in Gaza. There are loads of other protests in the Netherlands and they aren't all peaceful but they are not like this. This is not your regular student protest either, there have been multiple across the country and stuff broke there too but some of the people who went in here went to break things. Even Tesla dealerships aren't taking this much damage. It's not even looting for their personal benefit, it's just breaking things to release their anger.
But it was never going to be used for that. The goal is to make supporting genocide unprofitable. Sometimes that means breaking other people's stuff. Usually the stuff of people profiting from genocide and thats ok. Are you really arguing that a police force SHOULD be used to protect property over people?
In this case the damage is paid for with public money and their insurance which is paid for by the general public. I wouldn't care about it if it would be payed by Israel supporters.
I never said what these policemen do is right.
