People are going to get riled up. It's easier for them to go straight to getting the police involved. It's not right, but I think that's what happened here.
most likely this was the decision made. Probably not enough police on hand to actually escort those out. They were probably told they would be fined at the beginning, but ignored it.
I could only imagine the issues involved with a few cops escorting a family of low income individuals out of a gymnasium where emotions are high.
They took the easier route here in an area where crime is probably high and they have had multiple issues previously. Whoop and holler and you're going to get fined. Period. It will be enforced by a warrant. So, you want to yell, that's fine. But you're going to pay for it.
Will this hold up? Probably not. But it gets the point across.

these people know when they do this they'll just be removed from the property. No big fricking deal to them because the damage has already been done. They accomplished what they went there to do.
So you think that they come to graduations to actively disrupt them?

That's right. The fear of being arrested if you don't do so.
Or you could just ask them to leave. If they don't, fine cite them for trespassing. If they still dont leave put them in cuffs. That ahould be the absolute last resort. Instead its easier to just lock them up, because, you know, 'Murica. I get that graduations need to be civil, but this screams of using the police as a personal tool.

At a Louisiana high school graduation a few years ago 2 parents blew air horns. The principal asked the police to escort those parents out. 10 minutes after the ceremony ended she was fired. Seem the parents had another child at the school that was a basketball star as was his graduating brother.
In a attempt to keep him from transferring they took quick action. He transferred anyway. He was not black or white.

I understand your sentiment, but we do not have context because the super decided not to speak on the issue.
This could very well have been a decision made because of multiple past issues and not enough law enforcement on staff to escort entire families out without major issues occurring.
I would like to hear the school's rationale for this before I jump to conclusions.

Congrats, you just summed up what's wrong with LE today. It doesn't matter if what they do is illegal or backed by the courts. What matters is that people in power get to use LE as their personal servants to get their way, and people recognize their authoritay.

the problem can be solved rather easily ... quit having graduation ceremonies ... parents can get together and do whatever they want to do ... the parents who want to yell and scream cause their little baby was given a degree can yell and scream to their heart's content ...

True, but that's the way it's been since before America was even formed.
Those in power will use police to enforce their will on the less fortunate.

The first time I heard of this was when I graduated from LSU in 87. The crowd was warned, but some did it anyway. Back then I was shocked that people could be that disrespectful.
It's so common now, I expect to hear it.
Last week when my stepdaughter graduated from Kingwood High, four of us stood up hootin and holerin from the south endzone of NRG Stadium. I asked her later and she didn't even hear us. We might have to step up to air-horns for the next graduation.
That's why they have them in stadiums and arenas, right?

his wasnt just "a little cheering." Blowing an airhorn is not "a little cheering." I have a problem with this no matter who is doing it or where they are doing it.
I went to my daughters dance recital a few weeks ago and observed what I assume was a dad doing the catcall whistle and yelling at his daughter onstage during one of the other groups routines. They couldn't have been 10 years old. Screaming out her name well into the start of the number. Its obnoxious and highly inappropriate, not to mention distracting to a kid onstage having her dad whistling at her like a construction worker on the road
Clearly this is annoying behavior that would irritate any of us. The conversation is not about what behavior is pleasant and which is not. The conversation is about arresting people for being rude, crude and obnoxious. If you can arrest people for disobeying the rules at graduation, what is next, going to court for chewing gum in class?
A LAW, not a rule, should have to be broken before an arrest is made.

Because no CRIME was committed.

Just as soon as people begin to get arrested for cheering.

That's the point. It's a celebration! It's not something that should be governed by some asshat who decides what is cheering and what isn't.
I remember when they told us to be sure not to throw our hats afterwards. "Yeah dick, I've received my diploma and you have ZERO avenues to stop me". Some hats were thrown intentionally in the faculty areas.

OBEY!
I don't think I've seen a thread that has so many bitches in it before. Some punk arse principal is mad that he can't control adults. I hope someone finds his arse outside of his controlled environment and smacks him in his damn mouth.

I've never been to a graduation where air horns were blown. I'm sorry but if you're blowing an air horn during a graduation ceremony in a packed auditorium then "disturbing the peace" is exactly what you should get.
