Colorado Legislature Censures One of Their Own for Kicking Photographer

Thursday, January 24, 2008


DENVER — The state House voted Thursday to censure a lawmaker who kicked a newspaper photographer taking his picture — and refused to apologize.

The resolution, passed 62-1, was the first censure in the history of the Legislature. It says Rep. Douglas Bruce "failed to uphold the honor and dignity of the House of Representatives and reflects poorly on the state."

Bruce, a Colorado Springs Republican, kicked Rocky Mountain News photographer Javier Manzano for snapping his photo during the traditional session-opening prayer on Jan. 14. Bruce was sworn in as a midterm replacement hours later.

Bruce was standing during the prayer when Manzano knelt down, along with other photographers and videographers, and snapped his photo. Bruce brought the sole of his shoe down hard on Manzano's bent knee and said, "Don't do that again."

Wow, I wish he was my rep. Man that kicks ass.
 
You should have heard him. He is unrepentant and says he only "nudged" him. He equated it to a parent "reminding" a child.
