The police had no function to perform. They should not have been present. Everything follows from that - as to the horror of which, see Morrigu's post, above.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Bloody facts - they get in the way of a good whitewash.

^ oh in that particular case, it may well be, Morrigu. If you know them well and they are quite level headed, then clearly it is, and I said that the policeman in question should be disciplined or charged if so. I don't see anything WTF about that. If I knew a Spanish policeman who was assaulted by some wild-eyed Catalonian nationalist ( I don't, but twelve were treated for injuries while doing their job) that would not make up the truth of the whole either.

My point, again, is that the way these things are conventionally reported overall is often not the whole story. And I think the Catalonian government should work within the constitution and the law, rather than provoking a confrontation and then using the police reaction as agitprop.
