Few weeks ago a Polish man was choked to death by 10 Dutch police officers [1] for...running away on a bicycle, and no on bat an eye. I guess this is the new normal?

Does that mean that other deaths should not be protested?

Does riding a bicycle with a working chainsaw on a leash sound like a rational protesting technique?

Yes.

Yellow vests protested peacefully and that yielded nil.

Pension reform was protested peacefully and that yielded nil.

Anything that makes establishment scared is a valid protesting technique.
