Police in the Netherlands fired their service weapons at farmers protesting new environmental reforms, with video footage showing officers shooting at a tractor as it attempted to evade law enforcement.
The incident unfolded late Tuesday near a highway entrance ramp in the northern town of Heerenveen, where local police claimed “tractor drivers attempted to drive into officers and service vehicles” following a stop.
“A threatening situation arose. Warning shots were fired and targeted shots were fired,” they said, adding that the tractor was hit and that three suspects were later stopped and arrested. Nobody was injured in the encounter.

However, footage of the shooting has since emerged on social media, and does not appear to show any attempted ramming. Instead, the clip depicts two vehicles driving off from the scene, neither coming close to hitting any pedestrian, with officers opening fire on the second as it sped away.

Another video apparently filmed around the same time shows an officer with a pistol in hand as he issues commands to a tractor driver parked near the highway ramp, all the while aiming the weapon at the vehicle.

Gideon van Meijeren, an MP with the conservative Forum for Democracy party, later commented on the footage in response to a police statement, saying it did not show anyone in “imminent danger,” while adding the tags “police violence” and “farmer’s revolt.” He urged the authorities to account for the apparent discrepancy “as soon as possible,” also noting that he had requested an emergency debate in parliament.

Because an officer fired their service weapon while on duty, the National Criminal Investigation Department will launch a probe into the incident to determine exactly what happened, local police added.

The run-in came during a wave of unrest among Dutch farmers, who have vocally opposed a government initiative to slash pollution emissions, including nitrogen oxide and ammonia, by 50% over the next eight years.
The reforms are likely to hit the agricultural industry hard, because fertilizers contain a large amount of nitrogen oxide, and livestock produce ammonia in their urine and feces. Farmers may be forced to reduce the number of livestock or cease operations altogether. Many fear the reforms will simply put them out of business, driving intense demonstrations in recent weeks, including farmer-led blockades at major transportation hubs.
Late last month, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that farmers have the right to protest, but warned that the government would not allow them to “create dangerous situations” or “intimidate officials,” language echoed by police in Heerenveen after Tuesday’s shooting.

Armed rottweilers ready, willing an able to murder people for the sake of the JWO.
The french yellow vest movmemt showed the way, we thought you brits would follow suit
but you are too much jew controlled
exactly as oswald mosley said
but the time is now
if you do not make your voices heard. it will be too late
Which gas are the lunatics planning to demonise next? Oxygen?
Nitrogen makes up the bulk of our air.
Carbon Dioxide is the gas of life.
These murderous freaks won’t be satisfied until we’re all dead – or THEY are.
The elites are getting scared.
@pierre from france, are you serious?
C’est bien l’hôpital que se moque de la charité, who destroyed the Gilets Jaunes mouvement, who runs France and its super powerful ethnically pure Inquisition at least since 1789, didn’t you know that France today is like Gaza, another Israeli occupied territory? Who placed the Marrano Macron at the Ellysées palace?
Au-dessus c’est bien Jérusalem aussi, non?
As I said in the previous article on TT today, on banning beef, lamb & air travel; expose the lies of heliocentrism and all this ‘global warming’ nonsense disappears.
Like I said, the people on here are not stupid, just heavily indoctrinated on heliocentrism. You all believed the holohoax until you questioned it and the same with all other events. You need to do the same with heliocentrism. It’s a harder egg to crack because your indoctrination started when you were very young.
I’m 100% correct on this. It’s a simple fact. Your inability to see you’re being lied to is making you look incapable of seeing sense.
They are using global warming as one of their means to bring in authoritarianism. It disappears completely when flat earth is proven to be real and moreso, it would create a massive feeling of resentment and anger from the public, towards the governments, academia and the msm.
Exposing the lie of heliocentrism would be ‘the hundred monkey effect’ in action. Everyone would instantly wake up. It’s they’re Achilles heel. It has to be protected at all cost.
The Reptilians want to eat bugs. Lizards don’t eat cows
nitrogen has exposed the co2 scam. the cap on 500milion world population guide stone has been blown up. that was a historical day, July 2022. next sarmat will arrive to hammer down the last nail on NWO’s coffins.
german + dutch farmers in the past
missed the mark not to bring with
them their guns from the beginning
of any demonstration + storm the
palaces . its Macchiavellis law :
GOOD DO SEDOM
CRUEL THINGS SWIFT !
like Maidan
Ishn’t dat veeeeeird!?
This is the moment of decision. If they don’t start hanging the cops in the streets, they are lost forever.
Now it seems Polish farmers are protesting EU-WEF food and farm policies. This will cause all sorts of divisions between the Poles and their government because their government is pushing the food supply breakdown at the same time it’s pushing a conflict with Russia. A lot of Poles don’t like Russia either but cracks will appear everywhere and it all leads toward unrest. We’ve never had a Europe-wide revolt before, and the politicians who are pushing for it don’t know how far removed from reality they are, because if a cold and hungry winter comes round many of them will be facing their own Ceausescu Christmas.

It strikes me that this is just another way to take everything over. Decades ago there were no supermarkets and every village had a baker and a greengrocer. Then the supermarkets came along, undercut the bakers and greengrocers, putting them all out of business. Now you have rubber food that costs ten times what it used to cost. Putting these farmers out of business is the same thing. The corporations will take over the farms and you’ll pay ten times for rubber food.
The farmers should join with the Dutch truckers and just mow the barricades down.
Pierre from France,
They will never move, they haven’t got the bottle to go up against authority, never had it, don’t have it now and never will.
They are rothschilds rape dolls.
Georgia Guidestone ?? Dutch Farmers ?? Look like the SHTF ??
So now the police are biting the hands that feeds them! Remember,,, police eat food too. Are they really this stupid? Unfortunately, the past couple of years indicate a level of stupidity never before imagined.
Had they actually shot and killed one of those farmers, it would have triggered unintended consequences….in a very drastic way.
