Bull fighting on Wall Street -- los máximos trofeos

As I prepare to go to Madrid to give some talks on the relationships between the events of May 15 in Spain to Occupy Wall Street right now, I've run across a video of a matador and some lively banderilleros at work in a corrida de toros the center of the financial district.  Perhaps because they misunderstand the traditional Spanish pageantry involved, the police come to arrest two of the participants.  However, the brave matador arranges his own victorious salida en hombros, but not on the shoulders of an admiring crowd.
