Guess what? You purposely set out to break the law and to get arrested for publicity... Then don't complain when the police have to fight you to arrest you... And then they threaten to return the following week... Believe me... If the police were using excessive force on somebody, they wouldn't threaten to come back the following week...
Washington, DC - A dance-in at the Jefferson Memorial led to five arrests and a violent clash with U.S. Park Police.
A group was protesting a recent court decision that said expressive dancing is the same as picketing and marching...banned in certain areas of national monuments.
A video the protestors posted on YouTube appears to show officers slamming arrestees to the pavement...using choke holds...punching.
A spokesman for Park Police says the agency is investigating complaints officers overreacted.
Meanwhile the protestors say they plan to be back next Saturday at noon.
