This is very interesting. As a non-sign reader, I would love to know exactly all that they are expressing, beyond the content description of police brutality. These types of stories are needed on the internet more and more. Keep up the good work.

Most of us deaf people have sidekicks, blackberries, and/or phones with cameras. I would suggest that when not using your sidekick or other device, keep it on the camera mode and the moment you see something untoward happening, capture it.

This would give claims of such incidences more legitimacy.

If what Tara says happened, then that was uncalled for.

Also, DPS and DC Police should have informed the students that they are responding to a bomb threat, AND STUDENTS SHOUDL HAVE GOT OUT OF THE WAY without question and let the DPS and DC Police into the building. Infact, if there was a bomb threat, students should have sprinted out of that building faster than Canada's BEN JOHNSON when he was on steroids!

A bomb threat is not somethign to be played around with, whether false alarm or not. Students could have returned to the building and their siege after DPS and DC Police cleared it of any danger.

But like i said elsewhere, let these protests be in open ground, so that other students and faculty can carry on with their lives. Others should not be forced to put a hold on their lives. It infringes on their rights.

Question: Can someone take a rough count during the HIGHEST point (attendance) of a protest and let us who are not in campus or even in DC know what percentage of CURRENTLY ENROLLED students is protesting?

My husband and I are both Gallaudet graduates and met on campus. We both fell shame at these students and their bad behavior!.

As a Gallaudet graduate (99'), a Deaf women and proud member of the Deaf community, I would like to say a few things. First, the protest in 1988 and the protest now are two very different animals. While the protest in 88 was not just ensuring a qualified Deaf person was appointed President, it was also about the Deaf community making itself hear to the world.

All most can see from this recent protest, is the immatue way these students are acting. If there are justified points to this new protest, the blatant immature actions of the students are overshowing them. ANYONE can see from these so called "assult" videos, that the STUDENTS WERE WRONG. If they want to get their cause heard , & their protest taken seriously then they MUST ACT LIKE ADULTS and not like kids still in high school, or brats throwing tantrums!.

How can theses students expect people to support them, when they show NO RESPECT for others. It was CLEAR that the STUDENTS BULLIED the DPS guard in the other video and provoked him.

We understand & respect the need to protest, but the students are totally wrong in their behavior. THEREFORE, my husband and I FULLY SUPPORT THE BOARD DECISION and support Dr. Jordon's stand

Some words of advice to the students. Act maturely and your concerns will be taken more seriously by the Gally Board. Until then, you are only making yourselves look like asses and giving the Deaf community a black eye!!

God Bless I. King Jordon and God Bless Gallaudet University
