well the other side of the story:

Quote:

Everyone seems to think that the group dancing at the Jefferson Memorial are innocent. That is a misconception. See, the group that was there is known as "Code Pink". This group has a history of causing problems:

Code Pink just likes to stir up trouble and blame other people for their bating.

Explanation:

In Washington D.C., there are certain areas in the national parks you are not allowed to demonstrate in. Under the Jefferson Memorial is one of those places. Because Code Pink was demonstrating, or protesting, using dance, they were breaking the law. They didn't even have a permit. This same thing happened in 2008 when a flash mob dance group tried dancing there. That group was arrested.

Now, regarding the way the park police handled that situation. The police could have handled there arrests a bit more gently. But then again, the Code Pink protestors were resisting arrest. They deserved the treatment they were dealt. There is no way you can argue this any other way. This is not a police state. In no way were the Code Pink protestors arrested for hugging, dancing, or kissing. They were arrested for illegally protesting without a permit in an area where permits are not even dealt out.

well I'm not saying this opinion is 100% right either

my point is, the protesters are getting smarting and smarter. they no longer are the "protesters", instead they portray themselves as "victims of police brutality"
