The mayor of Rotterdam had banned the demonstration on account of it is supposedly a party for the kids. So they violently suppressed all demonstrations.
And while demonstrations against Zwarte Piet were banned, the neo-nazi (or just old-fashioned nazi) NVU party were allowed to mingle with their protest signs.
Oh and just to be clear that the cops are soooooooo neutral in this, here's a group pic of the Rotterdam police team ('team preparedness') who were responsible for 'security'.

Oh, but it's OK, because she's not a racist. It's totally normal and not at all racist to respond approvingly to your friend being blatantly and explicitly racist, as long as you say you were referring to some other, vaguely related aspect of the overall situation.
It's totally not racist as long as you're only doing and saying racist shit all the time. This is how you really fight racism. By normalizing it to the point that nothing qualifies anymore. Easy peasy.
We've got the exact same thing going here. After the commercial channel RTL (Radio Tv LUXEMBOURG, foreign agitators!) decided blackface was no longer okay and Zwarte Piet should henceforward be a white guy with some black soot on his face and clothes from climbing through chimneys (which the 'traditionalists' claimed was why they were black in the first place), this dudebro sports commentator said a black politician who had been in favor of changing it was 'as proud as a monkey' (where the saying is as proud as a peacock). It was apparently not racist at.all. And when a well-know radio dj (who had appeared in 'stop racism' videos) in response to her anger at that remark had jungle noises on in his program, of course that was just a funneh joke, haha. How could I be racist?
Better late than never, I guess. What I really need to see is some major mainstream media outlets doing the same. The term 'alt-right,' as much as it viscerally repulses me, is not a clear and accurate enough term for the sort of low-information hot take reader of today. It makes it sound like it's actually cool or edgy or something.
But as Jello Biafra once said, "If you like the swastika so much, go join the Klan like your parents."

I picked it because it said "diabolical club owner (Patrick Stewart)" in the description, so I was like hell yeah! But the reason it may be relevant to your interests is that the merry band of protagonists play that song the club (which is a skinhead club, heh).
Also I never heard of that song before a couple days ago, so hello Baader-Meinhof!
White man shoots black man in Louisiana and admits to it, he is immediately gunned down, er, beaten, thrown in jail, tortured by guards er, Arrested, and held till trial er, Put on house arrest till the trial er, released.
You still have https. Change it to http and it should work, fuckdammit.

John RK Howard stood accused of jumping on his black victim and inserting a coat-hanger into his rectum. It isn't clear from the report whether the prosecution considers the alleged victim to have made up the story with the coat-hanger, but what is clear is that (deputy attorney general) Casey Hemmer has contrived not to have the evidence tested in court.
Is he the best prosecutor that white money can buy?
