Mayor Femke Halsema of Amsterdam has introduced the measure in consultation with the police and the Public Prosecution Service due to the disturbances of last week. There are also recent indications that people again want to come to Museumplein with weapons.
The police are present en masse. There are many riot vans and police on horseback at Museumplein.
Last week, some 200 to 250 protesters on Museumplein clashed with the police during and anti-corona protest banned by the municipality. The protesters pulled stones from the ground and threw them at officers.

Hundreds of people had gathered in both cities, despite a ban on demonstrations.
In Amsterdam, groups of people walked to the Museumplein.

Report-in please.
One year ago today:
After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown.

Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.

Seems like a nice place to visit.

It would be distant history if we would have just stuck with “two weeks to flatten the curve” and then opened up and let it burn out.
They shut down the web cams in the city as well
When they’re not rioting it’s a lovely town. Went there in the 80’s .

Amazing how that simple reality might have prevented where we are now, a year later.
The country has been shut down due to the virus and a curfew put in place. This has not happened since WWII.
I guess we’re getting to this point at “Tommy’s Holiday Camp;”
“We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We’re not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it
Let’s forget it better still”
“Tommy” - 1969
I was there too, circa 1999.

Seems to be “mostly peaceful protests”
This what a ‘civil insurrection’ looks like, not the demonstrations at the US Capitol on 6 Jan., 2021.
BTW, who besides me noticed that the persons throwing things at the police, setting fires and breaking into stores and looting were dressed the same whether in Seattle, Portland, Amsterdam or Eindhoven? Coincidence?
It's like in nature when a cheetah attacks a herd of zebra. Since they all look the same the cheetah has a difficult time singling out a weak individual because they get lost in the crowd.
