An RT America television host Adam Kokesh was violently slammed and choked by police who arrested the host after he took part in a flash-mob at the publicly-funded Jefferson Memorial.

On May 28 Adam and other activists were arrested seconds after they started silently dancing in what they say was a celebration of the first amendment's champion. The police officers slammed some of them; others were handcuffed and thrown to the ground in what seems to be a clear violation of their right to free-expression. A video was captured of Adam Kokesh being body slammed and placed in a chokehold for his dancing crime. Watch Adam comment on the incident

Adam is the host of RT America’s Adam vs. The Man program.
