Ertzaintza appeared near of basque pubs and started using rubber balls. One of its hit Iñigo Cabacas head and then he died in the hospital.

Xuban Nafarrate, is a young that was seriously injured seriously by Ertzaintza on 2012 when he was participating in a general strike in Gasteiz (Araba south basque country). According to their family, Ertzaintza attacked them without any reason with batons and rubber balls. One of these rubber balls hited Xuban and he fell. After that, some friends tried to help him but Ertzaintza beated them and then introduced pamphlets in Xuban's mouth. He had a surgery in his head after that.
