Supporters of Spanish police argue that Catalan protest culture has long treated street disorder as legitimate politics, and they contend that tolerating fireworks thrown at officers and burning bins erodes the civic norms a shared society depends on.
Supporters of Spanish police frame the force as defending Catalonia’s civic order and shared cultural life against disorder, arguing that fireworks thrown and bins burned threaten the everyday spaces all residents share.

Supporters of Spanish police argue that setting bins ablaze and hurling fireworks are criminal acts under Spanish law, and that police enforcement protects public safety and order.
Supporters of Spanish police counter that assembly rights are not absolute under Spanish law, pointing to the Constitution's Article 21 and the Organic Law on Citizen Security, which permit dispersal when public order or safety is seriously threatened.
Supporters of Spanish police argue that restoring order in Barcelona is itself the message: unchecked fireworks and burning bins signal state weakness, and visible force is the cheapest way to deter escalation.
Supporters of Spanish police argue that restoring order is the precondition for any negotiation, and that tolerating firework-throwing and arson only rewards escalation; they frame firm enforcement as the pragmatic price of public safety.
Supporters of Spanish police counter that disorder hands the state its easiest lever: each burning bin justifies the force already deployed, letting Madrid cast protesters as the threat and ignore the demands entirely.
