Lux Claridge was dragged from a city meeting about data centers and charged with interfering with the police after they clapped during a presentation.

    I don’t have a direct link to a file but here’s a clip on a regional (Nebraska) news affiliate:

    https://www.ksnblocal4.com/2026/07/27/teacher-arrested-repeatedly-clapping-favor-data-center-opponents-during-city-commission-meeting/

    pretty boring regular clapping. by the way, the speaker he clapped for right before getting arrested: his wife. literally applauding his wife for speaking up at town meeting.

    they probably asked everyone to remain completely silent and had setup"rules" for applause between speakers… knowing that 1) they don’t want people to get riled up 2) it gives them pretense to remove people who say literally anything when not standing at the podium.

      5 claps when the speaker finished. What a disruption! I seriously thought this guy was clapping for 2 minutes straight or something and delayed the meeting.
