The fact that they were in violation of the law still does not justify physical violence for a nonviolent crime. It's incompetence, pure and simple. They didn't even bother to say what laws the people would be charged with. It's pathetic.

I don't dispute they could have been but we can't know either way. Say I went to a memorial with my gf and we started slow dancing, and we do nothing obnoxious- nothing could be done wrong or right?

I guess you're unaware that the court has ruled on what resisting arrest is, non compliance qualifies, dont comply with the orders given and the risk of violence becomes real, so why were a couple taken down hard, non compliance

you're there at will, you can be asked to leave, subject to arrest or what ever, no different than anywhere else you go, it can be just you and your girl with no other motive other than the mood struck you

Unfortunately this doesn't matter. They broke the law, and you are supposed to know the law.
Ignorance was never a justification for breaking the law.
Not that I support what the cops did, but yea, they really don't fuck around in D.C.

See, this is the part that I don't think really follows. The risk for violence becomes real only if one party initiates it, which, in this case, was the police.

right, it was the cops in this case as you see it, what I saw was someone that was willfully resisting and refusing to comply with instruction given by the cop, generally when someone does that their next step is to become more aggressive towards the cop, typically the cop wants to head that off before it gets to that point, cops arent mind readers, they dot know if the guy is going to take a swing or not and the courts back the 'initiation of violence' because the safety of the officer and the other people in attendance is more important than the safety of an unlawful protester
if you're in my home or place of business and creating a disturbance I'll tell you you to stop, if you dont, I'll forcibly eject you. it's no different than what the cops did

I am 100% in agreement with Pris#1. You guys are crazy. I didnt even watch the video. I've seen videos like this posted on the shroomery for years. They always go the SAME WAY.
1) Citizen is in XYZ place. 2) Citizen encounters police officer 3) Police officer gives order 4) Citizen ignores it 5) Cop follows procedure - often more intensely than is necessitated 6) Shroomery members pounce on the cop for #5 and completely forget #3 occurred.
Rediculous! Do what the police tell you to do. YOu will not be fucked with. Literally.

I somewhat agree. My very few encounters with the police during traffic stops and getting kicked out of skate spots have all been relatively painless because I have tried to be as courteous as possible and do try to carry out the police's orders as long its not asking to much. If i just get to a sick spot to skate 2 hours away but only had 10 minutes to ride it before being kicked out, thats just how it goes and there no point in fighting it.
However, lets say I was asked to step out of my vehicle during a traffic spot because they wanted to search my car. I never drive with anything illegal on me, so therefore I would feel such a search would fringe upon the 4th amendment since I would know personally that the search would not turn up anything. I could easily foresee an officers getting pissed about a refusal, but i mean really, who want to waste a half an hour so a pig can tear through your own car and belongings?
what i'm getting at is: where do you draw the line in letting police walk all over you? cops shouldnt be such conniving pricks where it seems like the way they operate results in people being arrested who have no business being in jail. the police could do a lot on their own part to alleviate the situation...like perhaps better explain the law, even if its not required, so that people do not get arrested. people getting arrested is a bad thing in a situation like this so both parties should put effort in so it doesnt happen.

I get where you're coming from here. I'm most bothered by the fact that things that police tell people to do or not do seem to keep getting more ridiculous. That comes from legislators, of course, not the officers themselves. This situation is over the top, but I try to keep in mind a few things:
- This sort of power comes from the laws, the laws are what need to go.
- Police are just people at work. They'd rather be at home drinking a beer than beating people up.
- Many cops would risk their lives to save yours or mine.
If it were me I'd probably start by saying, "we intend to be demonstrate peacefully. If you must arrest us, no force will be necessary, but we feel that disobeying these regulations is the best way to draw attention to them." Then begin dancing and do not resist when they slap the cuffs on. I think that this would make the point without getting bodyslammed.

You guys are cool. I wasn't trying to defend the idiots in the video. I was trying to investigate the title of the thread. The were protesting I get that, but say you were there to pay respects and not disrupt anyone, and you get the urge to dance. Why would that be wrong? Why does a memorial have to be somber? A lot of cultures remember their lost ones with joy instead of tears, why the fuck should anyone be able to tell me how to mourn?

Yeah because I was born to follow another man's orders.
You're talking about someone getting arrested for dancing at the site of a memorial of some people who fought their entire lives for the "preservation of freedom".
It's the unraveling of freedom and liberty, and all you folks know is that if a "cop" orders you to do something "you better do it".
Means: true story bro - When you're hanging out with your friends do you all actually utter phrases like "Do what the police tell you to do and you won't be fucked with!!!!"????
Because *that* is what sounds ridiculous. You sound like a traumatized victim of some tyrannical shithole.
Meams, what do you do when the police "order" you to do something that you perceive or reason is "wrong"? What do you do then?
Do you "follow orders" or do you act according to your own will?
