RE: Spain must face suspension from the EU after ordering police violence on peaceful citizens.
I disagree.
Violence is the game of the state. They are professionals. You can't beat it on this playing field. The state needs violence in order to justify it's own violence to the people.
Those who use force against the state harm the freedom movement.
As horrible as these pictures are, they document a good strategy: show who is initiating force and let the whole world see. Raising awareness...
Gandhi and MLK are more important than ever.
Sometimes violence is unavoidable, but the Catalans have one more option to exercise before it gets to that: tax revolt!! That will send a more poerfull message to the Spanish government than the vote. If the Catalans want their independence, they will have to up the ante.

The state has the monopoly on violence.
More so, it seems to seek the monopoly on immorality altogether... :)
