Two sources familiar with the negotiations tell me that Obama was giving serious consideration to going into the lion’s den and delivering a speech at a December 2 jobs summit hosted by Donohue, whose organization just spent tens of millions of dollars trying to bring the president’s agenda to a screeching halt by helping to elect more pro-business lawmakers in the midterm election.

Behind Black was her husband, James, a taxi driver, who drove up next to her to find out what was the matter.

“The officer was like, ‘Move the car! Move the car!’ ” recalled Michelle Black. “So my husband was like, ‘That’s my family, officer. I was just trying to tell you that’s my wife and my kids.’ ”

Lindenwold police say Pierson repeatedly instructed James Black to move on, but when he failed to do so, the officer placed him under arrest.

“When Officer Pierson attempted to handcuff him, Mr. Black refused to be handcuffed,” said Detective Christopher Sherrer, spokesman for the Lindenwold Police Department.

On advice of his attorney, James Black will not discuss details of the incident because he is facing criminal charges. His wife said he simply told the officer not to handcuff him in front of his family. But the story from the police differs.

“Mr. Black refused to allow the officer to put him under arrest by struggling, pulling away and wrestling with the officer,” Sherrer said.

Officers are trained to control an arrest situation, Lindenwold Police Chief Stan Lemayski said.

“The officer must maintain control for the safety of the officer, the surrounding public and also the person arrested,” Lemayski said.

Pierson is a police veteran with 22 years of law enforcement experience, 11 with the Lindenwold police, according to the department. His partner is a 2½-year-old K-9 German shepherd named Kovu.

During the struggle, Pierson remotely opened the canine compartment of his vehicle, Sherrer said.

“The dog sensed a threat to Officer Pierson and latched onto Mr. Black’s leg.”

Black, his arms and legs still scarred with bite and claw wounds, said the K-9 attack was vicious.

“His teeth were sharp. You know, it ripped my flesh like paper. Yeah, stinging.”

Then, according to Michelle Black and an independent witness who refused to be identified, the officer placed Black in a chokehold.

“As soon as the dog started biting my husband, the officer lifted his arm around my husband’s neck [and] started choking him, in like, the headlock position,” she said. “The kids are screaming, ‘Why are they killing Daddy?’ “

Anuradha Koirala was chosen by the public in an online poll that ran for eight weeks on CNN.com. CNN’s Anderson Cooper revealed the result at the conclusion of the fourth annual “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute.”

“Human trafficking is a crime, a heinous crime, a shame to humanity,” Koirala said earlier in the evening after being introduced as one of the top 10 CNN Heroes of 2010. “I ask everyone to join me to create a society free of trafficking. We need to do this for all our daughters.”

Koirala was introduced by actress Demi Moore, who along with her husband, Ashton Kutcher, created DNA, The Demi and Ashton Foundation, which aims to eliminate child sex slavery worldwide.
