Barcelona police resort to violence to move peaceful protesters

Somehow the excuse of "we need to clean the public square" doesn't sound very convincing, so it's no wonder some of the protesters decided to stay. Keep in mind that unemployment in Spain is over 20% and for the younger generation, it's over 40% so they have legitimate arguments against the political class. Who in the west isn't upset with the free ride that the bankers have received after the destruction that they left behind? The only real surprise is that the protests have been so limited.
