Gallaudet Protesters Arrested on 10-13-06

A rough movie made of the arrests made tonight of deaf protesters at Gallaudet University.
(---Afternote: Having finally slept for the first time in two days, I have reviewed this movie. I made and posted this movie in about an hour after shooting the shots, as I wanted to get video example of what was happening out to the deaf community quickly. I have reviewed this movie and noticed a couple of spelling mistakes and a problem with "transitions" between clips. A reedited version will be uploaded soon - Trighap)

problem - they could have warned several times using ASL *first* before doing this to so many people. another problem - how did they choose who to do it to? see, those were possible lawsuits there because it was probably based on who was not listening, noisy, sitting in the wrong place, or just anyone they didn't like. there was no monitoring against discrimination and these people weren't trained, so what happened to DPS?

@jpcwa74 right. terrible. did these people get sued? this will probably affected several Deaf people's ability to find employment in one way or another.

@jpcwa74 Thank you for telling me.

@futureshocker They were wanting a deaf president. A well educated person who was born Deaf.

If black colleges can have a black president why can't deaf colleges have a deaf president?

There are ways to make one's voice know; protesting, disorderly conduct, and blocking traffic are not them.

Campus security they are not. DPS at GU are Campus Police Officers. Their duties are to protect not only the people of the university, but its assets as well. If the director of the campus tells them to remove a protestor, they have no choice but to do it.

Simply obey the police. Demonstrate if you wish, but don't block traffic or walkways and we - police - will leave ou alon
