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.

Russia is not a free and democratic country.

In this case the city of Amsterdam only made pro palestine protest illegal for a few days to protect public order after incidents of rioting. Protesting would have been fine just a few days later.

Russia is nothing like that.

The temporary ban on demonstrating against the governments complicity in genocide. Out of fear of extreme violence which never manifestaties.

There were several violent riots in the preceding days? First around the football match with lots of injured and then arson in a tram a day later.

Was any of those things done during an organized planned peaceful protest?

So when the USA resumes conducting illegal detentions, extraordinary renditions, and mass expulsions in a few months, I guess that's just the consequence of living in a free and democratic country, and we should just accept it.

All of these things are not the same as we saw in the video and you know it.
