No, that only works if the entire population overthrows the police force. Otherwise they will just rot in jail being abused by the class traitor psychos that are police.
A striking bus driver might not care, though it could be considered stealing and land him in legal trouble or be fired.

In general, striking is well protected in the Netherlands. For example, companies are not allowed to hire strikebreakers or to fire people for striking. When a judge decides that free bus rides isn’t an allowed method of striking, these protections don’t apply either.
So its more the unions that need to be careful and since there (currently) is not really an alternative for bus drivers to organize themselves and start collective action, the bus drivers are restricted by what the union can legally do. Pretty similar situation in Germany.

Because pigs categorize people into two categories:
Law abiding (does what they’re told) and Enemy (has no rights)
You’re thinking about the US. In my country, cops are usually well aware of people’s rights.

And this is why Food Not Bombs refuses to ask for permits before feeding the hungry or holding demonstrations.
When you rely on government “protection” for your activism you limit your activism to what the government allows.
