This is deeply disturbing. Who could possibly defend this? I wonder if the NPS Superintendent will denounce this and call for re-education of all Park Service employees concerning citizen’s Constitutional Rights?
I have to admit I would be tempted to start dancing on witnessing this. Probably would not, but I would be tempted. Being thrown to the marble can easily crack your skull—being arrested is nothing casual.
And Animby==I would only be tempted “In American” because In America we are supposed to be FREEEEEEE. Note: “supposed to.”
Yes, this is very disturbing and doesn’t appear to be much room for any “rest of the story.”
People should be encouraged to dance in public, make love, think for themselves.
I’m surprised some of these fine, upstanding “officers” haven’t yet met Uncle Nunzio. Perhaps someone who visited the memorial will be arranging an appointment soon. I understand just one visit works wonders for rectaloculosis.
Now speeches and marches at national memorials are illegal. So I guess that Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream is now officially dead as he would be thrown to the ground and cuffed. Sorry Gitmo Nation.
My guess is that the police in question probably aren’t allowed too high an IQ as a requirement of employment, so it wouldn’t surprise me they have no idea what the 1st amendment means.
On the other hand, one shouldn’t resist arrest. It will destroy what you’re trying to say and … it might hurt.
Notwithstanding there was possibly something going on before the clip started (as often the case) – it was obviously passive and inoffensive by today’s standards.
The behaviour of the police was fundamentally wrong. Separate the concerned parties, discuss the problem first, then ask them to move on if there is a clear violation of relevant by-laws or ordinances.
Escalation like shown here can only make it worse for the lawmakers in the long run. They may have been trying to do ‘the right thing’ – but failed miserably at developing community participation.
And of course we have the mostly usual partisan (D and R) defensive/offensive commentary. When this situation is a result of both parties; both ensconced, corrupt to the core, irretrievably debauched parties. And most habitues on this blog are going to help re-elect them like the rest of the retard voters. If you vote D or R YOU are the problem.
If you vote a third party, you are innocent and trying make a positive change. This is simple basic logic.

No, my friend. Voting PUKES out of office, then voting the dumbest/most corrupt of Dumbos out of office is the ONLY rational response, for reasons stated and extensions thereof.
#7 That’s Medea Benjamin not Cindy Sheehan. I wondered where all of the anti-war protesters went after Obama was elected. Either they’re less active now or the media pays less attention to them now that their (thin-skinned) man is in office.
Bibi Netanyahu said it was a badge of honor that in our free societies you can have protests.
‘Cuz this is real democracy!

I don’t mean to be overly harsh with respect to the park police. Really, their expertise is more in the line of suicide investigations.

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing.

I’m not holding my breath.
Do they think this is Soviet Russia, or what? I’m hoping my name doesn’t come up when they waterboard the terrorists.

I wonder which is worse?
This is why god created long guns.
I really dislike the idea of flash mobs…but in this case.
Was that Cindy Shamehan and Code Pink? As odious as I think those lefties are, they have the right to freely assemble don’t they?
USA = Soviet Union 2.0
brought to you by the swarthy hook nosed aliens.
hows that hope and change working out. your lefties cry about freedom until you get in charge then you take it away and say it is for our own good

Looks like you’ve imported some cheap ‘freedom’ from China.
… and these citizens will never fly again.
Looks like a setup and a good way to get your head cracked.

#16…Yes it was a set-up, just the same way Rosa Parks taking a seat was a “Set-up”.
Gotta cut loose, foot loose..
#18–P&M==Let’s parse:

Yea, verily.

I don’t understand.

NAZI PIGS
Didn’t realize we were already Nazi Germany. EVERYONE needs to spread this video far and wide…..awaken your friends and neighbors to the truth. Won’t you all be happy when you have to pass tsa grope points to go to the mall, grocery store, school, or sporting event. Janet Napolatano has said she is thinking about just that.
It’s obvious the love and peace generation is now in charge.
#24–Somebody==you one note ponies crack me up. Read again, and again, and again until you can grok I said just the opposite.
Think. It won’t hurt after you find a grove. Kneejerking as you to could lead to tendinitis.
Soon cellphone video recording will next be a crime.
In #27, foobar said: It’s obvious the love and peace generation is now in charge.
Its the children of the love and peace generation who were wearing the uniforms.
I wonder why the protesters didn’t just form a circle facing each other and kneel on the ground with their hands atop their heads.
This was just gratuitous violence and either it made the evening news or it disappeared.
I think dancing with your girlfriend is totally in appropriated for the Jefferson memorial – he should have been raping his slave.
Dancing like that should be stopped
A fine restraining hold.
