Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben (37)
Avram Grumer posts at Making Light about how the Washingtion Park Police does not take kindly to young people silently dancing at the Jefferson Memorial at midnight, and deem it neccessary to manhandle and arrest a young woman who dares question their orders to disperse immediately.
What's even more disturbing is how apparently there are lots of people who think these people had it coming, and can't wait to get on with the victim-blaming and the cries of "but it's all in the name of public safety!"
Avrams analysis of these kinds of comments is spot-on, and well worth a read.
