While trying to catch up on some news items from the past week I noticed this video of a deaf ADAPT protester being taken to the ground by police appeared on Youtube. The video shows police taking the woman to the floor while she and others try to explain to the officer that she could not communicate with police. Its not clear, other than the protest itself, what prompted the actions of the officers. This incident took place in the offices of Senator John McCain while ADAPT was in town.

UPDATE: I received an email from Sharon Rose with information and link to an entry on FRIDA's blog with much more information. Be sure to check it out. Hats off to the members of ADAPT for standing up for the rights of people with disabilities and for those of us who could not be there.
