I don't understand. Is this a joke/reference?

This is a meme, coming from an old copy/paste bit. Know your meme has a good write up about it.

Albert Einstein Copypasta, also known as “Malice of Absence,” is a fictional account of a philosophical debate on the benevolence of God between a religious-skeptic professor and a student of faith, the latter of whom is revealed to be the world-renowned scientist Albert Einstein. Online, the last line in the story is often referenced in discussion threads and comments to mock hyperbolic statements or tall tales.

This was a meme from /r/thathappened, they're implying it's fake, but I'm not sure why since as far as I can tell this did happen, and I'm not surprised one bit by it very on brand for Dutch police.
