That policy is unconstitutional. I'm protesting my right to be in a public space. I am not leaving. I have no threat. Why are y'all doing me? What law am I breaking? One law. What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? In a vibrant public space in San Antonio, a man was break dancing, exercising his right to self-expression when he was confronted by security guards and police officers. The first amendment of the US Constitution explicitly states, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the people peaceibly to assemble." This dancer, a resident of the city, was not soliciting money or causing a disturbance. Yet, he faced immediate aggression from authorities. Two police cars and multiple officers descended on him, demanding he leave a public forum, Market Square, which he rightfully claimed as his space as a taxpayer. The confrontation escalated without any clear explanation of what law he was breaking, highlighting a disturbing overreach by law enforcement. I don't know what's the problem. What they say nothing out here? I'm not supposed to be out here. Why is that? Out here. You got business here property. You got here too. This is private property. This is a This is a public forum. I'm sorry. Yeah. This is not private. You guys want to be out here? They pay every week. Yeah. So, you see like a vendor? No, I'm not a vendor. I'm not asking for money. But you're out here dealing their property. This is not their property. I'm I'm a I'm a resident of San Antonio. I'm simply impressing myself. You can't do it here. Yes, I can. This is the public place. You can't be their space, man. This is their space. The vendors own the market square. No, not vendors. Market square. Market square. San Antonio owns it. Yes. You can't be out here. Okay. It's like they going to your front yard. I pay taxes. This is my market. I I am allowed to enjoy my market as I am a resident. You're going to You're going to take off, man. I'm not taking off. I'm not taking off. You want to go to jail? I'm not taking off. You're not trespassing. Last one. It's not trespassing. I'm I'm enjoying my public space. Yo, y'all got to back up, guys. Y'all got to back up. Y'all got to back up. Look at that. Two cops for one guy. Unconstitutional. I'm not abiding by that policy. That policy is unconstitutional. I'm protesting my right to be in a public space. I am not leaving. I have no threat. Why are y'all doing me? What law am I breaking? What law? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? Look at that. They call What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? Two cops, one guy. What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? Back up, guys. I'm not a threat. What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? No, I don't. You're not going to oppress me and take away my constitutional rights. Dancer repeatedly asked, "What law am I breaking?" but received no clear answer as officers insisted he was trespassing on what they claimed was private property. The Supreme Court has affirmed in cases like Heg versus CIO 1939 that the right to use public spaces for expressive activities is a cornerstone of free speech provided it does not substantially interfere with others rights. Market Square as a public forum is precisely the kind of space where such expression is protected. Yet the officer's actions suggested an attempt to suppress this right. The dancer's insistence on his constitutional protections was met with physical restraint with handcuffs applied so tightly they caused pain and left marks. This excessive force for a non-threatening act like break dancing reveals a failure to uphold the principles of serve and protect instead prioritizing control over liberty. What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? Can you tell me, sir? 9538. What law am I breaking? 958 554 554 What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? I'll break dancing in the public space. What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? What law am I breaking? I'll tell you again. What law am I breaking? Let's go. You want to do this? You want to do this? All right. Hey man, you better you better not touch me like that. Respect my rights. Aren't you supposed to subserve and protect? I'm not a criminal. I am break dancing. Look how hard he put these cuffs. Look at these cuffs. Look how tight they are. They're cutting off my circulation. Look how tight they are. They [ __ ] hurt, bro. They [ __ ] hurt. Take these. Let him go. I'm not moving. You let my cuffs go. You let my cuff go. You are depriving me of my rights. You are depriving me of my rights. Please let go of my cuffs. He arrested him for exercising his first amendment right. All he was doing was expressing himself. Lock them down. Thank you. God damn, bro. I'm dancing. We were good. You can arrest me, but damn. Why do you have to have them so tight? Not break any law. Yeah. Look how tight those cuffs are. [ __ ] cuffs hurt, dude. Hurry up, dude. These [ __ ] cuffs hurt, bro. The [ __ ] that. You have him [ __ ] tight as [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] Me on my right.

You want him to take it or not? All right, I got you. You want to take his phone? You want to take it? Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm taking it. It's all right. That's it, right? Yeah. All right. Y'all don't need to talk to me. I'm just documenting. Two cars for one man. One guy. Two squad cars for one guy. All he was doing is expressing himself. He was not asking for money. Expressing yourself is a right under the first amendment of the constitution. This has been going on for 11 years. They're still trying to get rid of us. This incident is not an isolated case, but part of a pattern. As the dancer noted, it has been going on for 11 years. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable seizures. Yet, the dancer was detained without clear justification. his equipment confiscated and his rights dismissed. The lack of transparency from the officers who failed to articulate any specific violation points to a systemic issue where law enforcement oversteps in regulating public expression. The dancers's arrest for simply dancing in a public space raises critical questions about how authorities wield power and whether they are trained to respect constitutional boundaries. By documenting badge numbers and vowing to pursue justice in court, the dancer and his supporters are taking a stand against this abuse, reminding us that protecting free expression requires vigilance and accountability.
