Well it's against the Spanish constitution. What did you expect?

You can't seriously be in favour of this kind of seperation. We're more wealthy than the rest, so let's seperate because we're an egoisitc little group that doesn't want to help the rest of the country? Every region has its own culture. That isn't a reason for seperation though. It's not like they are being oppressed in any way.
By that logic, every city could declare independence and become a country like Monaco or Singapore.

I think there's a general expectation in civilised countries not to be brutally attacked by police when you're no threat to them or to anyone else...

From the dictionary:

Police. Also called police force. an organized civil force for maintaining order, preventing and detecting crime, and enforcing the laws.

That's exactly what they were doing. The referendum was illegal, thus they had to try to prevent people from voting. Were some of them too brutal here and there? Sure, but don't act like every voter is a saint. On such a huge scale like this with millions of people involved, not much happened or at least nothing out of the ordinary.
Compared to the G20 summit in Hamburg earlier this year, this was nothing.
