I'd be pissed too for spending a night in jail but if an officer tells you that you will be arrested for doing something, then you do it anyways right in front of them, resisting arrest isn't going to exactly help your cause. I'm not saying ignore your rights, I'm saying choose to defend them in a better way which doesn't include resisting arrest and making things harder on yourself. They are gonna cuff you either way.
I agree with you 78.7%, though it's the powers that be that put those officers in that position. Regardless of their reasoning behind what they were doing, all they were doing was dancing quietly. They weren't moshing or having a hootenanny.
