Deputy tackles, arrests journalist for photographing voters

When Deputy Al Cinque tried to grab Henry’s camera, Henry ran about 100 feet across the pavement on the side of the elections office before he was tackled by the deputy.

Cinque yelled at Henry, “Hold still, stop moving,” after he pinned Henry on the pavement, punched him in the back and grabbed Henry’s left arm to put a handcuff on his wrist.

Cinque then jerked Henry, 54, to his feet by his left arm and slammed his body against a parked car, where the deputy punched him again as Henry tried to hand him identification cards that were later found on the pavement.

Documenting the way that democracy works under Jeb Bush will get you a beating by the cops. Nice. Appalling, yes. Surprising, no.

voted.

First thing this morning. Democrats everywhere I could. There was no candidate for prosecuting attorney except a republican so I left that blank. I was stymied to realize I had no idea what the relative merits of the various judges were so I sadly left those blank. Voted against proposals 1 and 2.

Go vote, please, if you haven’t. We need you.
