On Nov. 6, police joined street protests' wave. Coming from different cities of Portugal they gathered in Lisbon and marched towards Parliament where they shouted against Government and Prime Minister, Passos Coelho. (I'll add some videos of this street protest)

They assumed to be a Democratic Police and said no more (= "BASTA") Authority! . Their banner shows the terrible riot police with the dogs they usually have to frighten the protesters. They said NO to this scene of terror, but a week later, on Nov. 14, they were using violence against people in the most anti-democratic expression of power.
