Bates ruled that the interior of the memorial is not a public forum. A handful of people protested this by dancing quietly to music from their Ipods as can be seen in this one minute video. One of them was body slammed and then choked by a park officer, which has led to an investigation into whether or not the Police used excessive force in detaining the peaceful protestors.
