Woman violently arrested for playing banjo in wrong place at Syria war protest

“Iraq war veteran Emily Yates was arrested on Friday after a dispute with police about where she could stand while playing her banjo during a protest against U.S. military action in Syria.  Video uploaded to Live Leak shows Yates asking Federal Parks Police why she could not stand in a shaded area of Independence Mall in Philadelphia.  After several minutes of discussion, two officers bent Yates over a park bench and handcuffed her.  By the time Yates is dragged from the park, at least eight officers are participating in the arrest.”
