Federal Court Ruling Prohibits Freedom of Expression at DC Monuments; Hundreds Protest Park Police Assault of 'Dancing Protesters'

What bothers me most is the willingness of some Americans to slap on a government badge and forget who they are and where they come from. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise that so many are willing accomplices in the government-sponsored terrorism that is eating away at the core of our country. History is full of these cowards who will do anything to save themselves even if it means harming you. What better place for a coward to hide than behind a government badge? - Marti Oakley, Homeland Security: Government-sponsored Unique “Terrorism”, The PPJ Gazette, April 20, 2011

In previous opinions we’ve discussed the possibility of US law enforcement and military assets being deployed to Main Street at the onset of any major crisis. As we’ve seen in the middle east over the last several weeks, and are seeing in real time in Libya today, once military is deployed things can spiral out of control very quickly. Zero Hedge contributor Cognitive Dissonance asks 'Would US Police/Troops Fire Upon US Citizens?': "The short answer is that of course they will. Why would you think otherwise when US history offers up dozens of examples to choose from. The powers that be are ego maniacs, the elites have hundreds of years of experience controlling the masses, and the masses are mostly living their lives in denial. I consider it inevitable that when the uprisings begin, and they turn really ugly, that those who are paid to protect the powerful and their assets will follow orders and do precisely that." - Mac Slavo, Of Course They Will (Fire on U.S. Citizens), SHTFPlan.com, March 4, 2011

Hundreds Gather at Jefferson Memorial to Protest Court Ruling and Thuggish Cops

June 4, 2011

Infowars.com - According to the Associated Press, “dozens” of people showed up at the Jefferson Memorial today to protest the thuggish behavior of cops in response to an earlier attempt to protest a federal court ruling prohibiting freedom of expression at the monument.

A photo posted on the NBC website, however, shows far more than a few dozen (see above photo).

Park Police kept a low profile after they came under withering criticism for the heavy-handed way they responded to the dancing protesters last Saturday. At today’s event, an officer stood watch carrying an assault rifle.

“We were physically assaulted by some men in some blue costumes and put in a cage for a couple hours,” Adam Kokesh, an Iraq war vet and Russia Today host told the Baltimore Sun on Wednesday. “We are not going to stand for this.”

Fox Business Network host Judge Andrew Napolitano described the arrests as “a scene out of ‘Footloose meets the Gestapo.’”

U.S. Park Police are investigating whether officers were too aggressive. Videos posted online show an officer with his hands around the throat of Kokesh, who did not resist arrest.
