Spanish Cops got Catal-owned

mate if you can't decode from the picture that the police are trying to curtail their democratic right to protest then no one can really help you

Guest, the police were there so that the traffic between Spain and France could flow, not to stop people from having their democratic values taken. There were a lot of protests during Tuesday, but there were no cases of police brutality, they had their right to protest. What was different during the Sunday was that the referéndum was illegal and the national police was only supposed to act if the autonomical police didn't do anything, which happened, and they had to go into violence in order to try to stop it. I am not in favour of what the police did, but the case goes all the way up the government, who told them to do that.

How exactly is a referendum for independence in a "democratic" nation illegal? Because the king said so?

The border crossing was faked to draw police attention from other areas and to weaken their "enforcement" strength.

No brutality? Bullshit. I've seen the video of police stormtroopers raiding polling places and beating people for just being there.

It's illegal because in Spain, like in most countries, any referendums have to be passed by the central government, and the one in Catalonia wasn't. So they could vote, but it meant absolutely nothing. I am against the police brutality that occurred though.
What I meant is that during the Tuesday strike in Catalonia, they didn't act against their right to protest. They only did it on Sunday, and that was enough
