got this off drudge, some park pd tried to silence some youngsters from spontaneous
expression of patriotism ... they said they were stunned at first but then decided not to obey.

from NBC washington.com
Evan Gassman, a spokesman for the group, said, "I was taken aback. You wouldn’t expect a display of national patriotism to be censored." At that point, he said, it had become political -- and the group kept singing as an act of civil disobedience.

"If their idea of civil disobedience is singing the national anthem, then so be it," Gassman said. "Let them disobey."

(I sure hope I posted that correctly)
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
