Ertzaintza Beltzak riot police

The beltzak (blacks in Basque language) are the police officers that compose the riot unit of the Ertzaintza, who are the police force of the Basque Country, one of the autonomous communities of Spain. An Ertzaintza member is called an ertzaina.

They are called beltzak because of their black fire-proof uniforms.
