I'm guessing "national police" referrs to Spanish police and their brutal suppression of the voting, not Catalan police.

You say "brutal suppression" based on the images you saw in the media, right?

Pictures are easy to manipulate.

Videos, not so much:

Videos are taken mostly by those out in the streets, so there are obviously biased towards one side. Is it so hard to believe that both sides exert some kind of violence? Do you really believe that one side is entirely pacifist and the other is aggressive? That kind of narrative should be hard to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_g4-4fMoMs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ak9224HG_E

Of course, the Catalan police is the regional police.
