Dutch Police Chief Protects Moroccan Criminals & Threatens Ethnic Dutchmen

Dutch blogger Snouck Hurgronje, who writes at Islam in Europe - Commentary by Snouck, has translated an interview with Amsterdam-Oost police chief Ad Smit, which touches on the increasing tensions between Moroccan criminals and ordinary Dutch citizens in certain parts of the city:

In neighbourhood meetings people mention "Moroccan-C**ts". It is called out in the streets, at Moroccans. Also during disturbances. That bystanders call: if you do not act, we will act, but differently, with baseball bats. I have heard it with my own ears. We (the police) do not accept that, this is taking the law in one's own hands. So far we have managed to contain it, end it. At the beginning of this year I reported to the Chiefs of the Amsterdam Police that the reaction of ethnic Dutchmen against Moroccans is fierce, something must be done. We have strongly intervened. We arrested dozens of muggers. We - especially the community policemen - are paying special attention to make sure whether the ethnic Dutch are getting out of hand. When the cause is taken away, the anger ebbs away as well.

Interviewer: So people limit themselves to nagging and calling names?

They still do [emphasis mine]. One has got to have a serious demeanor. One has to exude that one will not choose the side of Dutch ethnics if such words used. And that force will be used if things goes too far.

If the moment comes that fists are clenched, the moment that people will organise against certain population groups, then things are getting out of hand and I will use force. If I as a Police Chief would know that a group [of ethnics] is organizing to get at another group [of ethnics] I will have the whole lot arrested.

As long as I have the power I will resist with all my strength. It is an incredibly dangerous matter. I think it is easy is one is not doing well - and today many marginalized people are being marginalized even more - to have a go at the Other. Midway through the last century, we've had a very bad example of that.

It's simply astounding, isn't it?

As far as the police are concerned, ordinary Dutch citizens getting so angry and frustrated by their daily experiences that they turn against multiculturalism and mass immigration are far more important than the endemic criminality perpetuated by Moroccans in some areas.

Are the police paid to uphold the law without fear or favour in Amsterdam, or arrest a few muggers at an opportune moment to steal some votes from the PVV or prevent a riot - not necessarily because they believe that muggers should be arrested for their illegal actions, and should stop those actions, but for purely cynical political reasons.

The Dutch are a tolerant bunch, generally, and it has taken them 30 years to reach this point - but finally it seems many are determined to be more than passive victims in their own land. But Smit seems to draw a false moral equivalency between outright criminal thugs and people who have simply reached the end of their tether after being preyed upon and displaced whilst those in power ignore or mock their legitimate concerns.

Smit does acknowledge some of the problems:

Asked about Amsterdam-Oost Smit said that it's a fairly multicultural society, made up mostly of Moroccans. He says that there are less problems with the Moroccan youth there than in Amsterdam-West, which he says has to do with the fact that there are less apartments there. They sent an exceptionally active Moroccan inspector to the neighborhood with the most problems. He knows the language and culture and everybody respects him.

Despite that, he says that still there is a 'Moroccan problem' in Amsterdam-Oost, particularly with the Italian method - using a scooter to rob people. Smit says it happens once or twice a week. It's done mostly by young Moroccans, it's so simple.

Something else jumps out at me here; it takes a Moroccan inspector to be respected among Moroccan citizens, if Smit is to be believed.

Do these Moroccans not reside in The Netherlands by choice? Should they not respect Dutch law and those who enforce it in all their forms?

A large part of the problem here is this pandering, which smooths over temporarily the fact that certain groups are all but unassimilable in a modern Western society.

More than that, did it never occur to the Dutch authorities that they could placate their countrymen by listening to them?

By halting mass immigration, forcing those who choose to stay to renounce criminality and parasitical behaviours, actually arrest criminals and punish them properly?

Increasingly, it seems that Western elites and their authorities see the indigenous people as the enemy.

If they complain or mobilise, they must be crushed; if the immigrants mobilise, we must welcome it, and if they complain, we must listen and immediately give in whilst screaming obscenities at those who resist.

As Snouck points out, the Dutch police and government have all but renounced their reason for existing - they refuse to protect society (crime clear up rates once reached an unbelievably low 15%), preferring instead to protect those who will destroy it.

Will the natives follow the script and look on cowed, subdued and humiliated?

Clearly the Dutch government are worried the answer to that question is a resounding nee - and they are determined to change it at all costs. I wonder when it will become a racist hate crime to point out the disproportionate criminality of some groups, or even report certain crimes?

If it ever does, I can guarantee this - the dissenters will be punished in a way which real criminals in The Netherlands couldn't even comprehend.
