Capitol police arresting people for dancing

Looks like the LEO did everything by the book.

Is this law new?

Is it specific to that site/monument for a reason not shared in the video?

What a clown

That's an old video. I saw it like a year ago.

That vid is at least a year old. Happened in Obama's America.

I was thinking the same thing.

Being arrested for dancing is absurd. But I am going to bet there is more to this than meets the eye.

No idea the specifics here, but many legal things aren't allowed at certain public places.

For instance speaking loudly or being boisterous isn't illegal. But in a public library if asked to stop and you don't they may call the cops. There are "be quiet" signs specific to that setting. I doubt you could just whip out some cards and have a good ole time yelling and laughing with your buddies

Maybe these guys were all dancing specifically to disrupt the sight seeing there, and there is some catch all rule specific to that place for people attempting to cause a scene

I have no idea

Is there another link to the video? When I click on it it just brings up a blank Facebook.

Thread isn't going how you planned....you should be used to it by now. What a complete fail.

My understanding is there are laws regarding certain behavior on government property such as memorials. Dancing is not allowed. It has been challenged in court and the courts have upheld the laws.

Even the HuffPo wrote about this and said the Police were in the right: LINK

If you want to show off your sick dance moves, there are plenty of places to do that such as nightclubs.
