That’s the Mossos, not the national police of Spain.

Then the title is wrong and should mention that “A Catalan policeman says that…”.

Mossos aren't policemen.

What are they then? It’s a regional police force.

They are mossos ;-)

Mossos are the Police of Catalonia modulo borders, counterterrorism and higher duties which are dealt by the Guardia Civil (akin to Gendarmerie).

Yeah they are. Their official name is literally "Policia de la Generalitat de Catalunya".
