Bruce delivered a swift kick with his right foot to Rocky photographer Javier Manzano’s left knee as he said: “Do not do that again” during the ceremonial morning prayer on the House floor Monday morning.
A few comments from readers:
If the photographer was truly trying to get shots “of the moment” why did he put his camera down after he was “assaulted”? Seems to me, a photo of Bruce’s expression right after the “kick” would have been quite valuable. The photographers actions were transparently contrived to elicit a reaction from Bruce, nothing more … he got what he deserved. Where are the photos that were taken being published?
If you start restricting photographers in a public arena, such as our legislature, you set a nasty precedent. This is the news, and with news comes photos. Accept that fact. If we want our news, we will continue to get photos with it.

Tim Gruber and Jenn Ackerman use both photography and video to tell stories for editorial and commercial clients.
