Commissioners warned those in attendance against disruptive behavior, including clapping, snapping or rude comments. Lux Claridge and several others clapped in support of speakers opposing the Flint Hills Digital Campus data center. After commissioners issued a final warning, Lux Claridge continued to clap, leading to his arrest.

I wasn't there and I have never been to a city meeting, how bad is it to ask for people to not clap? They did give him a final warning.

How often do they tell people not to clap? If it's only for stuff like this then it's pretty telling what their motives are.
