Arrested For Dancing: American Police State (RT)

RT America television host Adam Kokesh was violently slammed and choked by police who arrested the host after he took part in a flash-mob at the publicly-funded Jefferson Memorial.

On May 28 Adam and other activists were arrested seconds after they started silently dancing in what they say was a celebration of the first amendment's champion. The police officers slammed some of them; others were handcuffed and thrown to the ground in what seems to be a clear violation of their right to free-expression.

A video was captured of Adam Kokesh being body slammed and placed in a chokehold for his dancing crime.

Adam is the host of RT America's Adam vs. The Man program.

The police dont exist to generate revenue for the government. Fines are imposed in lieu of incarceration. If you disagree, notify your lawyer that you'd rather serve your sentence in jail. Police do exist to maintain order. Yes, police do exist to control the people. However, the only people who need to be controlled are those who would otherwise be out of control. This does not include the average law abiding citizen. Freedom doesn't mean you can do whatever you like and violate others rights.

@Armen11011101 I must have missed something I didn't realize being disrespectful was a criminal act.

[Armen11011101]

what a respectful way to act at a man's memorial-dancing around like you are at a party.

I think this guy is an idiot, but clearly there was some obvious and clear improper conduct performed by the police. However, since this guy is clearly some kind of yuppie/hippie hybrid, I sincerely wonder whether or not he's going to actually go through the proper channels to get this sort of thing taken care of.

FLASH MOBS ARE THE ANSWER.. NO PROTEST BANNERS.. JUST A FEW PEOPLE STROLLING.. COMING FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS... OR THE ANTI-LOVE POLICE WILL CLOSE THE PARK.
