(MIRROR) Adam Kokesh body slammed, choked, police brutality at Jefferson Memorial

I'm absolutely stunned by the brutality and self-righteousness of these cops.

At no time do they cite the law under which they're arresting these people.

This kind of thing should have ended when Bush was kicked out.

This video is not my property and I will be happy to remove it if requested to do so by the owner/s of the original work.

well i guess this explains why u.s. incarcarates more people than any other country in the world and has the biggest prison population on the planet...

"land of the free" ooh the irony :p

@Darusdei

It IS ironic.

In fact I saw a chart this morning that shows the prison population of each country. America wins by a factor of 2 to 1 over the next largest. Iceland, Japan, the more civilised northern European countries and Nepal have the lowest number of incarcerations. Of course the US has the highest number of privatised prisons in the world, which is of course just a coincidence.

@geffel Mr. Kokesh is no civil rights leader. He is a neo-confederate teabagging self-promoter who uses his RT program to misinform the public about our rights, responsibilities, and duties under the law, as well as the facts regarding the purpose, scope, and function of govt rules and regulations. He has the right to oppose govt regulations, but no one has the 'right' to violate those rules, or to disobey a lawful order of a police official, or to resist a lawful arrest.

LOL, "land of the free"?

[HRRyan2]

cops are told to yell stop resisting whether someone is actually resisting or not.

@PostSurgeOperative

Yeah not really.

This is why the first amendment implies that theocracy is the only form of speech that is to be discouraged, & considered seditious. Theocracies always create police states, that brutalize in order to stop all forms of speech that are NOT sycophantic to the state theocracies incantations. Money worshipers require conformity and subjugation, just as forcefully as any other perversions of faiths into tyrannies.

Welcome to the new inquisition. But if you think this is bad, talk to Bradly Manning.

@insightnew The cop didn't say people needed a permit, he asked if they HAD a permit.

The fact is, cops can lie to you while they are conducting an investigation, affecting an arrest, etc. They can lie to you. This is a fact. If you don't believe me, then fine, explain your legal theories to the judge.

But since no one was charged with 'videotaping in a public space,' and no one was forced to turn off their cameras, I doubt that you or anyone else has any legal basis for such a complaint, LOL!

[insightnew]

@PostSurgeOperative I saw the police telling people they could not video tape in a public place. That was not a lawful order. It was a lie. I saw the police telling people they need permits to video tape. Another lie. He even stated that the press could not video tape. Yet another lie. Dancing in public is not a crime. Kissing in public is not a crime. So what happened here was far from lawful on the part of the police.

Jefferson was ALL FOR "civil disobedience" in the face of tyrrany. I'm afraid on this issue, we'll have to agree to disagree. Peace.

I'm so very glad I don't live in the USA. I live in the Netherlands, and the police around here are professional and patient, not legalised thugs on a powertrip.
