The official police report on Rep. Cynthia McKinney's clash with a Capitol Hill police officer three weeks ago says the DeKalb County congresswoman struck the officer "in his chest with (a) closed fist."

The "event report" — obtained Tuesday by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution — describes the altercation as an assault on a police officer. The officer involved in the incident, identified as Paul McKenna, filed the report with his supervisors immediately after the incident occurred at 8:55 a.m. March 29.

The report for the first time provides specific details of what happened when McKenna tried to stop McKinney from going around a security checkpoint at a House office building.

Time to hold her accountable!

They have video & direct witnesses to this assault....and she's still free as a bird.

These two Duke students have no witnesses to the alleged incident, and no DNA evidence, but they just had to pay a 400,000 bail bond!

Uneven playing field here!!

If this goes anywhere at all. it will be at least Entertaining!

Has Cynthia stumped for Nagin (New Orleans own Willie Wonka) yet?

TT

[Howlin]

Too Good NOT to Ping!

[Christian4Bush]

What? All she was doing was making the "Black Power" sign, an expression of her "freedom of expression". It's not her fault that WonderBread Dudley Do Right got in the way of that.

/dripping with extremely extreme sarcasm

Is striking a law enforcement officer a felony?

[Aussie Dasher]

Lock her up!

[NeoCaveman]

Why hasn't she been indicted yet?

[Paloma_55]

I bet she does not get so much as a reprimand.

[Jim_Curtis]

I'm trying to imagine a white Republican punching that guy in the chest for not being recognized and not being imprisoned and forced to resign.

Can't imagine it.

[La Enchiladita]

Ping!

[jra]

Who's saying there's video?

[BunnySlippers]

Why haven't charges been filed?

[DaveLoneRanger]

As opposed to an OPEN-handed fist? A fist is, by definition, closed.

[Enchante]

You're right, no Republican could get away with such outrageous misconduct at the US Capitol (or anywhere else), and the MSM would have quickly lynched any R. in such a case. The double-standards and hypocrisy of the MSM and the Demagogues continue to stagger and nauseate me.

[nicmarlo]

bttt

[Howlin]

I am not positive, but I think it is.

She's a negro? I hadn't noticed. I'm so color-blind I rely on my kids to sort my Crayons.

Maybe she can tell me what color I am?

[STARWISE]

Bets on when she'll be on Oprah?

[Christian4Bush]

Why hasn't she been indicted yet?

I haven't the blackest liberal idea. /s

[billorites]

When I skate free and clear of all this BS you're gonna have an 'effin cow.

[Ticonderoga34]

Hitting with a closed fist on the officer's chest? That's assault on an law enforcement officer. If you or I did that we will get a beating followed by long stay in the state pen.

[Howlin]

The report does not identify McKinney by name. It only describes her and identifies her as a suspect.

Works for me!

That's routine procedure for Capitol Hill police, who list the identities of lawmakers and congressional aides involved in incidents only on confidential supplemental reports, police familiar with the process said.

Gosh, I wonder how many of these they have stashed away?

McKinney's age — 51 — is also reported incorrectly. The report lists her as 40.

LOL.

Justice defered is justice denied.
No justice no peace
Jail the beyatch.

I'm sick of Democrats scating, like Sandy Burglar, Bill Clinton, etc. etc. etc.

[phil1750]

You know why, she is a Negro.

You mis-spelled a word.

[Doctor Raoul]

If the fist hit, you can not acquit...

[ArmyTeach]

... unless you're a congresswoman, and black.

[NeoCaveman]

I haven't the blackest liberal idea. /s

White libs skate too, just ask Sandy Burglar.

[chadwimc]

I call on all right thinking people to riot! Let's start with BigLots! The Harbour Freight outlet is toast!Then we'll teach the oppressors at Bed Bath and Beyond a lesson! We can loot the OshKosk B'Gosh stores while the authorities are occupied with the rebellion...

[God luvs America]

wow- with all the coverage of the Duke lacrosse players I'm surprised this got even a shred of coverage today...

Is striking a law enforcement officer a felony?

Apparently not for some people!

[MaDeuce]

" ...congresswoman struck the officer "in his chest with (a) closed fist."

It wouldn't matter if she used a base ball bat with rusty nails protruding from it. Nothing is going to happen to her! I don't know why the Freepers keep bringing this up.
We will only be depressed when she thumbs here nose at the police, the public, and conservatives.

And there you have it.

But I'll bet anyone that is interested, a dollar to a donut, that this racist bigot will not be punished in any official capacity whatsoever.

She will be praised by the likes of Jesse Jackass and Al Sharpless, she will be lionized by the members of the Congressional Black Caucus (oh, can you imagine the outcry if there were a Congressional White Congress?), and her constituents, who are mostly mindless, nitwitted, racist bigots themselves, will praise her and reelect her.

And the Grand Jury, the members of which are most likely mindless, nitwitted, crack-addicted racist bigots themselves, (this is DC; remember Marion Barry?) will not return a true bill.

And the beat goes on.

I am disgusted beyond description.

[OldFriend]

Just ask slick willie and his scummy wife.

[Frank_2001]

Depends...Congresscritters can do whatever they want/s

[maine-iac7]

I'm trying to imagine a white Republican punching that guy a BLACK officer in the chest for not being recognized and not being imprisoned and forced to resign.

I CAN imagine what would happen to THAT person- They'd've been eating bread and water 3 weeks ago - and career OVER

[sinkspur]

Whoa! Cindy's been into the grease, big time.

That dress looks like it came from Omar the Tentmaker.

[Chode]

whatchew talkin bout Willis???

[boomop1]

Had she been other, she would have been locked up on the spot,

[lucky american]

My mother is 51 and she still is holding at 40.
LOL

[ohioWfan]

Gee...........I haven't punched anybody with my fist for at least 10 years. ;)

JUST KIDDING!

Thanks for the TOO GOOD ping, Howlin! Lock 'er up!

[potlatch]

First reports said she had a cellphone in her hand! Actually a closed fist is even better!!

[onyx]

How classy. /sarc

[lndrvr1972]

One that is a Federal Officer it is..

[Jim_Curtis]

Forget the media, Republicans would have justifiably lynched such a freak themselves.

[TheLion]

Thanks for the ping. Will be interesting as to what the Grand Jury decides. They are sure taking their time.

[THX 1138]

LOL...
