Enjoy


Should have pepper sprayed him.


There is nothing in that video to suggest that the arrest was made for
"going the wrong way".

It could just as easily have been a drugs arrest or an "assault police"
and nothing to do with the bike.


The poster clearly has an agenda;

Police brutality in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
This Italian tourist dared to cycle in the wrong direction, on his bike.
Apparently enough reason for Dutch authorities to roughen him up a bit...

Dutch police are well known to ignore true crimes, to prevent dangerous
situations for themselves. Instead, they mostly harass citizens for
speeding or minor offenses like this.

Being one of the smallest countries in the world, The Netherlands is
also known to have the lowest respect for privacy and the world's
highest number of phone taps by the government.
