I have to say that this police officer should be fired... If you look at 7:34, he does not resist, than at 7:37 he goes down and Adam still not resit. And at 7:44, full body slam and chock him when the only thing he had to do was to bring these arm behind and put the hand cuff. Plus, at 7:53, he seem to go for some sort of submission just to stop it before adding a few injuries- this cop is incompetent in grappling and act dangerously. He is not even good enough to be a security guard.

@desoge A dance license? What totalitarian police state do you live under?

[nwsportstilidie]

I have a dream that people can dance in front of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial without getting arrested.

there is something just NOT right about this dude !

[justthatboul]

@therrydicule i sort of agree but i know he had no right to slam that kid to the floor but if you look close he was resisting he was using enough strength that the cop was not strong enough to put his hands beind his back.

[MsFreedom2fly]

@therrydicule I don't see anything wrong with what they were doing. I don't think they had any right to break it up nor arrest them. I feel they used excessive force too. But him not rolling over, giving him his arm is considered resistance. They will charge you with it even if you are being non-violent.

[MsFreedom2fly]

@therrydicule He did have earphones on, though he fully knew what was going on that's why he continued to dance after the star down. I agree he wasn't being aggressive with his resistance. Though the law still considers that resisting arrest. they SHOULD be able to dance in public.

[therrydicule]

@MsFreedom2fly Well, I do not say it was nice from Adam. However, in this case, because it's a misdemeanor, that Adam was listening music on earphone : any procurer that try to bring that in court will finish to look like a tool... Just question of being reasonable & procedure. To accuse someone of resisting arrest, one have to show that this person intended to resist the arrest. Was is answer an automatic answer to an aggression? Did he ear them? Etc.

You can't won that case.

@therrydicule

Not to say that the cops had any reason to arrest anyone; but resisting arrest is not being compliant. Not turning around when told, give them your hands, not laying down with told. He by his body language was resisting. I would sue the pants off them for arresting for people for dancing.

vote for ron paul stop the police brutality!

[jacval60]

This is wrong and if these Police Officers keep arresting people for stupid reason,and keep helping the Government take our rights away it will be their children who suffer also.How can they take the Governments side after all they did.It goes to show you the police and the Government are the enemy of the American people.

[therrydicule]

@HuSkOgS Well, I don't know that much about american law but in Canada... That's not really resisting yet. I will give that he was not far from it, but it still lack a few thing. Particularly: identification, because he got music in is fucking ear (earphone) the prerequisite of clear instruction from the police officer is missing. And the fact that he does not seem to be really strenuous...

So, I will say that the police used brute force a bit too fast.
