Adam Kokesh body slammed, choked, police brutality at Jefferson Memorial

On May28, 2011 Television host Adam Kokesh and several other activists participating in a flash-mob were arrested at the publicly-funded Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Their crime? Silently dancing, in celebration of the first amendment's champion; a clear violation of their right to free-expression. In an excessive use of force, video was captured of Adam being body slammed and placed in a choke for his non-crime.

I don't know the political views of these people, but they have a right to "dance" or do whatever in a public place.  Over the last few weeks I have been debating the position of the SFTP regarding the "Patriot Act."  We must remember that liberty must not be sacrificed for security.
