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.

Based on that definition they failed at their jobs then. It was because of the police that there was no order...

You obviously have something against the police, so I'm not sure if I should continue.

So just because millions of people do something illegal together ...makes it okay? No reason for the police to intervene? Completely illogical.
You know there's always (at least) two groups that clash, right? Both have their points, but in the end the police is the authorized entity to enforce the law and when the other side ignores that, there will be consequences.
