[kj] (OT) Dangerous Dancing?

[GREG SLAWSON]

Maybe it was silly, but the fact is that the cops routinely attack, unprovoked, millions of people each year, injure and kill many, and target poor
and non-white communities for their attacks. You are not even safe from the cops in the US IN YOUR OWN HOUSE, as the case of the black Harvard
professor who was arrested after entering his house and showing ID to prove he lived there about a year ago--arrested simply for answering back 
to the cops. They are truly an army of occupation and intimidation designed to keep people in check.

exactly- of course they weren't hurting anyone- even the cops knew the whole thing was silly- they seemed hardly bothered by it- I mean just doing their job, putting minimal energy into it. 
 
there is a 'code of conduct and reverence' in the monuments, almost the same as in a church- its just not the place to go do that, but of course they knew that and they set it up to maximize a silly point. 
 
It proves nothing except winding up people already in the fold-- and it accomplishes nothing..

Of course, they weren't causing a threat to anyone at any point at all. Any rational person would agree with you. Even those cops know that there was nothing wrong with what was going on. The facts remain though: If some cop tells you "If you do this, you will be arrested" and you start doing it, provoking them and being all cute, well guess what? In Washington DC on a national monument, no less. It's really not hard to avoid trouble, with cops or otherwise, so long as a person can keep their desperate need for attention at bay. For these people, it's a battle they clearly can't win.
