Wow. I wonder what these police officers are thinking. And what they say when they come home after work: "Hey honey, today I arrested people for dancing!"?
What qualifications must I bring with me so that I may be an American police officer? A well-toned body without a brain?
The police officers are certainly very proud of their work. I would be ashamed of such officers, if I were an American!
It must be very hard for the Americans to live in a dictatorship. Had America not even a democracy?
I love to snowboard. The sport has evolved so much over the past few years.

I have two video links for you. I find these funny because I'm a lineman.

From the YouTube video comments:
The Jefferson Memorial is a nonpublic forum reserved for the tranquil commemoration of Jefferson's legacy. You aren't free to dance where ever, whenever. Would you dance in any courtroom during a trial? in a hospital ER? in the middle of a busy intersection? in a the aisles of an airliner? During a speech at a funeral? Rules are rules. These people were dancing to gain attention / demonstrate / challenge the law. They could dance steps away from this place and not be arrested.
While I think the police were very poor in their way to deal with this, if the dancers were really pushing the law in the place they were in, then they deserved to be arrested.
I think asking them to leave the monument would've sufficed if they were deemed to have been behaving disrespectfully.
Choke-slamming someone into the ground for dancing really isn't acceptable behaviour for police, regardless of where it takes place.
This is just insane! One gust of wind, one sweaty palm, ANYTHING, and you're history!
