It wasn't the government.
Spain has separation of powers. The courts declared the action illegal and directed the police to end it.
The organisers knew of the court's decision and still went ahead. That is reckless.
If they wanted to protest they could've organised demonstrations and protests - which are perfectly allowed in Spain.

Your average citizen wasn't responsible for coordinating the voting effort -- those were public dollars. So why were the citizens held responsible for the local government's behavior? If the Spanish government was going to use physical force, it wasn't the Catalan citizen's fault for showing up to the polls -- it was the Catalan government.
