Spanish firemen boo and insult Catalan firemen during WPFG 2011

The World Police and Fire Games 2011 contest celebrated in New York has turned to be the scenario of a  scuffle broken up between the Spanish and Catalan police and firemen. During an exhibition, the Catalan team performed a human tower that was crowned at the top by a member waving a Catalan independentist flag which led the Spanish team to start insulting and mocking the former. Teams from other countries also performed their corresponding presentation without being mocked nor insulted. During soccer matches in Spain, Catalan and Spanish hooligans often insult one each other, but this may be considered "normal", as happens in other countries and sports. However, watching the Spanish police and firemen shouting "fuera!" (get out!) and "hijos de puta!" (sons of bitch!) in a foreign country and during a world-wide event has been really shameful.

The video below shows the moment the Catalan flag is raised while the Spanish team booes and insults the Catalan team.
