Just FYI, most boards will ask that those attending refrain from clapping after every speaker so that the meetings can advance without interruption. These board meetings have agendas and some can last all day. If there was clapping after every speech, it could stretch the duration quite a bit, so the board usually sets limits on behavior in the room. Im curious how many times they asked her to please stop clapping. Looks like they were warned multiple times. Also, regarding the speaking too long arrest, the boards also set limitations on calls to the public. Its usually about 3 minutes or so. If they didnt set time limits, people could just jabber on all day and the board wouldnt be able to conclude their meetings and get to other agenda items. The point is, be prepared, make your case, be concise, and respect the time of everyone there. You can strongly oppose flock cameras and give others a chance to also oppose them.

  • If you think it’s reasonable to use violence to make sure a meeting stays on schedule, I think there’s little for us to discuss. That sort of thinking allows the state to continue to do fucked up shit and peg those who respond with appropriate outrage as “being unreasonable” or even “violent.” See, for example, the viral video of a trans woman being arrested in FL for demanding a tiny modicum of respect. Nothing changes by playing strictly by the rules because the people doing fucked up shit make the rules and they are designed to prevent change.
