You Can’t Dance If You Want To

Posted on April 14, 2008 by Tyler D.

It’s time to add another harmless activity to blacklist.

The background: twenty people were at the Jefferson Memorial, dancing to the private groove of their own iPods so as not to disturb anyone. Apparently cops showed up and ordered them to disperse anyway, despite the fact that they were not doing anything obviously illegal. One of the libertarians joyfully (yet tastefully and quietly) celebrating the birthday of a favorite founding father questioned why they should have to move along–at which point one of DC’s finest shoved them up against a pillar, cuffed their hands behind their back, and hauled them away.

Oh, and happy belated birthday, TJ!

    Talk about irony!

    Unless the Memorial is supposed to be closed at that time (I suspect not), then these cops have got to get a life and the DA needs apply boot to the rear of the officers involved.
