Cincinnati Enquirer 5/28/86 Disabled protesters released on promise to leave city by David Wells, The Cincinnati Enquirer Leaders of last week's disabled rights protests of Cincinnati left jail four days early Tuesday after Municipal Judge J. Howard Sundermann agreed to reduce their sentences. Last Friday, Sundermann sentenced Robert Kafka of Austin, Texas, George Cooper of Dallas and Michael Auberger of Denver to spend 10 days in jail for disorderly conduct. The judge gave each man credit for two days already served, but said they would have to remain incarcerated until this Friday. He modified those sentences Tuesday, saying the medical condition of at least one man seemed to be deteriorating and all three promised to leave Cincinnati if released. The men are members of American Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation (ADAPT). They came to Cincinnati last week to demonstrate against the American Public Transit Association, which was holding a convention at the Westin Hotel. The group also demonstrated against Queen City Metro in an effort to get the company to include wheelchair lifts on all new buses. The rest of 17 protesters arrested last Wednesday with Auberger, Kafka and Cooper were released by Friday, but Sundermann said the three leaders deserved more severe sentences than the others because they disobeyed an earlier court order. The three first were arrested for disorderly conduct May 18 during a demonstration against Queen City Metro at Government Square. They were released on bond and told to stay out of Cincinnati until their trials. Sundermann modified that order last Wednesday morning, saying the men could rejoin the ongoing protests as long as they did not break any laws. Within three hours, Kafka, Auberger and Cooper were rearrested, accused of blocking the Fourth Street entrance to Metro headquarters by chaining their wheelchairs together. “They apologized for that this morning," Sundermann said. “They said they just got caught up in the spirit of the protest.” Sundermann agreed to reduce the sentences on a motion from defense attorney Joni Wilkens, who noted that Auberger had been taken to University Hospital Sunday because of a recurrent medical problem related to his disability. Assistant City Prosecutor Charles Rubenstein did not object to the reduction of the sentences. All three men are confined to wheelchairs, and Wilkens said she was afraid continued time in jail might impair their health. After leaving jail Tuesday, Kafka said the three “felt we had made our point and raised awareness (of) the problems of the disabled."

[Headline] Group seeks access for wheelchairs By David Wells George Cooper and Bob Kafka climbed aboard a City Metro bus at Government Square Monday, paid their fares and were arrested. Cooper and Kafka were among several dozen members of the American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit (ADAPT) demonstrating this week against Metro and the American Public Transit Association gathered at the Westin Hotel. ADAPT disrupted operations at Metro’s main downtown stop on Government Square for about two hours Monday. Following arrests of Cooper and Kafka, Metro rerouted its buses and avoided further confrontation with the wheelchair-bound demonstrators. ADAPT wants full accessibility for the handicapped on all public transportation facilities. Regular Metro coaches do not have wheelchair lifts. The company does provide transportation for the handicapped with special, lift-equipped Access vans. ADAPT claims that Access vans are unreliable in poor weather and even in good weather require a 24-hour advance reservation. The group also wants the national transit association to adopt a resolution at its Cincinnati convention requiring full access for the handicapped. Wheelchair-confined demonstrators picketed Westin entrances throughout the day but were denied admission to the hotel or adjoining public atrium. Cooper of Dallas, and Kafka of Austin, Texas, were charged with criminal trespass after they refused requests from Metro and the Cincinnati Police to get off the bus. “There are no lifts in these buses. It is not safe (for the handicapped), “said Murray Bond, assistant general manager for the company. Yet, after Cooper and Kafka were arrested, they were transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center on the bus rather than being transferred to a lift van. “That was a judgement call on my part,” said Capt. Dale Menkhaus, who headed the police detail. “It was decided it would be much easier and safer to transport them on the bus than to try to carry them off of it.” Four officers rode with the prisoners to ensure they were not jostled on the five-block trip to jail. Also arrested at the demonstration was Mike Auberger from Denver, who Menkhaus said attempted to block the bus carrying Cooper and Kafka. Auberger was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to the Justice Center in a lift van. Menkhaus said it was “a no win situation” for the police. No matter how sensitively the officers acted, they still had to confront and arrest people in wheelchairs. Officers in that detail were briefed on handling the demonstrators. Menkhaus said. “Our officers were told to ask each individual what the best way to lift him was, even to the point of which limb they would prefer to have moved first.” Still, to the members ADAPT, they were being dragged off the buses. “People were being dragged off the buses because they just wanted to ride,” said Bill Bolte of Los Angeles. When ADAPT member Rick James, a cerebral palsy victim repeatedly tried to roll his motorized chair into the street and in front of buses, police officers unplugged the chair’s battery. It left James immobile on the sidewalk. Other ADAPT members reconnected the battery and James pulled up in front of another bus. Metro eventually took the bus out of service and left it parked at the stop during the demonstration. At the Justice Center, all three prisoners co-operated fully with deputies, said Sheriff Lincoln Stokes. About five other demonstrators boarded buses that pulled in the stops at Government Square but they got off the bus when asked to do so, Menkhaus said.
