I have written several posts on this topic. It is a very serious issue. This city had at one point actually barred Charlie Grapski from being in their town. This situation is just getting worse. Thanks to GrapskiDefense for this video.

Thanks to Aldon Hynes for posting this at HEP:

Here is a previous summary which will let the video make more sense.

More vindication for the Alachua voting activist...Charlie Grapski

In this post you will see a cartoon by Jake Fuller whose cartoons I detest, but when you have Fuller doing a cartoon for you...well, that's not a bad thing.



Be sure to read the background on this, it is how one Florida city is silencing a voice.

1. Taser: just another weapon to be abused.

Nothing more.

2. More background on this, and contact info for Governor Crist.

"On February 12th 2007 Charlie Grapski was arrested for his presence at a meeting of the Alachua City Commission.

Grapski has been investigating and exposing corruption in the City of Alachua by the City's political and law enforcement officials.

Grapski refused to cooperate in his unlawful arrest and detention by going limp.

Alachua Police Chief Robert Jernigan ordered an officer to Taser Grapski because of his passive resistance.

This use of "extreme and lethal force" has been heavily criticized in the U.S. by Amnesty International. The threat to use such force in this instance is clearly inappropriate and excessive.

The Ad Hoc Committee for the Defense of Charlie Grapski and Alachua is calling on all concerned citizens to contact the newly elected Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, and call for the immediate suspension of Robert Jernigan and the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the numerous allegations of criminal wrongdoing within the City of Alachua's Police Department. ..."
