According to sources on Capitol Hill, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a Capitol police officer on Wednesday afternoon after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.
Members of Congress are not required to pass through metal detectors.
Sources say that the officer was at a position in the Longworth House Office Building, and did not recognize McKinney, nor saw her credentials as she went around the metal detector.
The officer called out, “Ma’am, Ma’am,” and walked after her in an attempt to stop her. When he caught McKinney, he grabbed her by the arm.
Witnesses say McKinney pulled her arm away, and with her cell phone in hand, punched the officer in the chest.
McKinney’s office has not responded to requests for comment.
According to the Drudge Report, the entire incident is on tape.
Drudge continues, "The cop is pressing charges, and the USCP (United States Capitol Police) are waiting until Congress adjurns to arrest her, a source claims."
Good grief. Between this and that Ada Smith lunatic who threw hot coffee in the face of her staffer....one could get the idea that DemoRAT critters have very poor impulse control and need to work on their anger management.
Too bad the cop didn't taser her. If you ask me.
I'm sure others have commented on the predictable outcome of this. McKinney will claim the cop was racist and didn't recognize her as a congress member because she's black.
Same old thing as always with this race baiting communist,and I don't use that term loosely. She's trash.
Yep .. they are in SERIOUS need of anger management classes
BTW .. don't forget the sercurity gurard that Hellary had mowed down and didn't stop to see of he was ok
That's nothing. It'll take a drug possession charge, incident with male/female prostitute, and a perp walk... and that probably wouldn't be the end of her. Ain't racial gerrymandering great?
["The cop is pressing charges, and the USCP (United States Capitol Police) are waiting until Congress adjurns to arrest her, a source claims."]
Watch the borders she might try to make a run for it. No I'm sure she'll just claim racism, and that the white man has to hold the black women down.
Zsa Zsa McKinney?
"May I suggest using your nightstick, officer?"
Except for the folks here at FR who will wonder
"Why the HELL is *he* apologizing to HER???"
(Sadly, it'll happen that way, I'd wager.)
[well i don't know the law in DC but here it sure isn't an assault unless there's some injury.]
Why don't you run through a metal detector at the capital and then hit a police officer who is trying to stop you? Let us know what the law is for us peasants. I bet it's different for you and me.
LOL -- she's disgusting. The woman sullies congress and that's saying something!
Yea, I'd like to see one of us hit that cop.You could kiss this summer good by and you'd be 10 grand short in fines and legal fees. She'll cry racism and thats that . I'm sur ethe cop got a LONG talking to already /Too bad we couldnt convince the cop to press charges..he won't I gaurentee it.
Here w ego folks I knew it ..From Drudge
The statement's writer says that she has been harassed by white police officers she says do not recognize her due to her recently changed hairstyle.
"Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers," the statement says.
Racist pig she is ..........
Nice. Those "certain white police officers" are trying to protect her by screening people who don't wear badges. And she wants them to play "guess the hairstyle."
Those dems sure do have a problem in the way they treat people
Interesting that the article quotes Drudge as its source and if you go to Drudge's website he links to the article as his source.
She is one low life racist snob.
African-Americans continue to marginalize themselves by makign only those who do wrong (or at least are phony victims) while ignoring true achievers outside of the entertainment and sports industries.
Ray Nagin was no one until he screwed up Katrina. Cynthia will soon appear on Oprah and be applauded at dinners and such, I'd bet on it.
Meanwhile, Condoleeza Rice gets not 1/100th of the praise from the black community she would have gotten had she been appointed during the Clinton Administration.
%100 correct .......
