Americans Arrested for Dancing at the Jefferson Memorial in D.C.

[dieselnew1]

Freedom doesn't come free!!! I can't belive what I just saw. Unf*ken real!

[DonkeyStork]

This is hilarious

[OhMyGodItsAChimney]

So America how's that freedom working out for ya?

[drhbettathanu]

Another reason I fucking hate America. Goddammit I hate living in this country.

[Kothlim]

Police state guys. We may as well be living in Nazi Germany.

[SlothmanLovesJapan]

"permit for the videos" What?

[tubewearwolf]

is this shit real? did it actuly happen cus the guy looks like an actor

[BombShellInfo]

@tubewearwolf - Yes it's real as can be.... believe it or not your eyes are not lying to you.

[707kang]

One more thing, why the fuck would.. you want to dance at a memorial anyways? have some respect.

[707kang]

Very funny, pretty sure no one was dancing there... before this rule. Know since they said no one can dance there, everyone feels like dancing?... people are just fucking stupid... these idiots look for a fight seriously. "omg it's a free country"... yea it is a lot more free, than most country's. If you don't like it then just leave, seriously lmao.

[Clatterpinch]

@707kang Not really that much more free than others, save for communist countries like China and North Korea.

[Timmy2384]

They told them all to leave (because a mass of people "mobbed" the memorial to "dance") and those who refused to leave were arrested. Surely the guy with a Disobey shirt wasn't there to make a scene with the police, he was just enjoying the memorial right?

[holloways99]

WHO IS THIS MAKING DANCING AT MEMORIAL

NOW YOU DEAL WITH FABIOOOOOOOOOO

[DuecePiece]

Land of the free? whoever told you that is your enemy!

[musicaltrees95]

@Mr2FlyDesmond They were doing this as a protest. a women and her friends went to do an interperative dance in 2008 in honor of the 3rd presidents 265th birthday. They did this in respect for the president and what he did for this country, and they got arrested. Do you find that fair? People shouldn't be arrested for dancing in respect at a memorial. If pepole were freak dancing, I would agree that shouldn't be allowed. Officials have taken this completely out of hand.

[siscili333]

Unfuckingbelievable!!!

[BombShellInfo]

@siscili333 - I agree and that's exactly why I posted this video. If I told you this was true would you have believed me or thought I was losing my mind?

[salcamarano]

@Mr2FlyDesmond the whole point which obviously your feeble mind couldn't grasp is that they are taking away the very freedoms that made this a great country in the first place. People died for the right to dance or sing or eat a big bowl of jello if they so choose. what right does a government that works for the people have to deny us those freedoms?

[keithpetro]

@Mr2FlyDesmond I think the most important ing is to raise your children right, you're damned right on that point. And that fucking inclueds teaching them the differences between "their", "they're" and "there", fucking idiot.

[keithpetro]

WAIT A MINUTE. They specifically said "You are not allowed to have freedom of expression or freedom of speech here at the monument of the champion of free speech." Isn't that somewhat do a bad justice to what Jefferson stood for? Fucking moronic Americans.

[roxypriah]

We are only free in our minds not in this corperation

[BombShellInfo]

@Mr2FlyDesmond - You call that partying? Your parties must really be boring.

[criojosa]

Chile solidarity from all the fellow artists who were arrested and oppressed in the "country of freedom" ... that police have more imbeciles.

[slaughtercide]

anyone eles want to ride the pigs dick some more so the cop can choke that guy on his back yea good job team

[futureworksexpress]

maybe if these idiots had some respect for the memorial they were in, and the other people around them, this never would have happened. They got exactly what they deserved.

[Sh33pd0g0800]

@futureworksexpress bahhh bahhh sheeple.;....anyone who is willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserves neither!

[norml2000]

@SuperGoodPoint I think most peoples point is that, the force used by these officers is a bit obsessive for only being guilty of dancing. Who is the government to say you can't dance in a public place? Where will it stop? Next people will be arrested for posing for photo's, holding hands, what else huh?

[SuperGoodPoint]

@norml2000 Well actually they were guilty of obstruction too by deciding "I'm going to ignore this policeman telling me to stop what I'm doing and continue doing it anyway."

[paost712]

Has the Jefferson monument been relocated to North Korea?

This movie brings back memories of the Vietnam War related protests...

[edstwn]

wtf is going on here man!!!

[BombShellInfo]

@edstwn - Just business as usual doing my thing.... wakin 'em up one sheep at at time.

[thegreenjester]

Well... its a bit rough that they were arrested, but for those that got thrown around... you resist arrest, you deserve what you get.

The ones that submitted to currently "Lawful Arrest" were dealt with nicely.

[skuloop]

call the US PARK POLICE! like i did on my channel!

[adamguy911]

@SuperGoodPoint its still bullshit, and I'm a Canadian, sticking up for the American Constitution! You know something's fucked up when... but then again, our country is awesome. Our PM sings fucking rock and roll for God's sake, AND at a CHRISTmas party! I bet you Americans couldn't say CHRISTmas without being judged, don't you? It's sad when the land of Liberty has less freedom than its neighbors.

[SuperGoodPoint]

@adamguy911 I love how you assume I'm an American. Smooth move.

[adamguy911]

@SuperGoodPoint I was assuming nothing lol I was explaining my POV. Youtubers are very nitpicky.

[goatseboy]

@adamguy911 canada is americas hat

[adamguy911]

@goatseboy I'm not sure exactly what to make of that comment lol

[myss911]

OK this is friggin BULL$hit! I hope they get those cops badges!

[jmj5150]

They were warned not to dance yet they danced and now they want to cry about this incident. Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Lex351]

That was disgusting....we are now living under a police state! I condemn those officers and the fascist way in which they attacked people for...DANCING?!!!! God Bless America - It's time to get our country back.

[gtojoe04]

if i was going to the memorial i would be pissed that people are are making there views known on there own personal views while im trying to remember the president. look at this guys first video its about how hes trying to protest a law. not the place.

[DavidL999]

If I was Abe Lincoln I'd love if people danced at my memorial!!

[MAKINMONAY]

This is rediculous!

[luismiguellopezx]

mannnn i just wait intill someone will do something like a ambush hahahahaha so they can do anything shit ........ that's what call a true america life brothers

[aodscarecrow]

Police terrorism

[kloikrules]

@maverickX54 They do put a lot of effort. when it comes to drug dealers but with crooked officials(Politicians) then no they don't put much effort because they are pretty much protected by government.......and if you notice this is U.S. park Police so basically they police the memorial.

[BombShellInfo]

Happy Memorial Day America!

[GDelva2003]

I think the police were attempting to save hip-hop...

[docterdroob]

so its illegal to dance in a national monument oooooooooooor?

[iemXDbeauty]

i don't understand this...because they are wearing helmets yet they act like a swat team taking down a murderer or something they were barely dancing anyways! AWKWARD AND MEAN!!!!

[darklinkwillkill666]

2:55 is that ash ketchum's hat?

[evilspaceinvader]

mfw people can actually get arrested for dancing. ಠ_ಠ

[Hamptonacres1]

We see how our American government will tell other countries what they should do in response to mass uprisings, but yet fail to listen to our own citizens. Makes me fearfull to go to any national monument in fear that some action I'm doing or something I'm wearing will be misconstrude as "free expression" or "free speech". Would our government arrest everyone for treason if we did what they did in Egypt? Yes, America is turning into a facist state..at least the Feds are.

[BombShellInfo]

Does anyone still believe they live in "FREE" country??

[iemXDbeauty]

@BombShellInfo and they closed the memorial?!?!?!?

[BombShellInfo]

@iemXDbeauty - Yes they shut down the memorial. Probably not for too long though.

[residentzombie]

@BombShellInfo Unfortunately as long as people are told they are 'free' they believe it.

[BombShellInfo]

@residentzombie - Well that's why we have a responsibility to show people.... seeing is believing. Most will laugh at you but you will still planet the seed. Some just need to see or hear and they can wake up. The problem in my mind is people trust and believe anything the main stream media tells them.

[carriellbee]

@BombShellInfo My observation is that most people still believe they live in a "FREE" country. I think that these people are beyond hope.

[CompilationsRus]

@BombShellInfo I really dont think you understand the concept

[tardhat]

Some people were arrested for doing something they knew they'd be arrested for, then act surprised. Here's Ollie with the weather.

[Woodwardandgrand]

Fuck all you Pigs .. So Mad right now makes me hate America

[BombShellInfo]

@Woodwardandgrand - Most Americans are truly unaware of these types of things.  To busy watching American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, and sports. People need to turn off the TV in order to wake up.
