Cynthia McKinney Allegedly Punches Cop [who is pressing charges, according to Drudge]
WXIA TV Atlanta ^ | Mar 29, 2006 | Michael King

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."

Officer, May I suggest the pepper jack spray would be an appropriate response here?

The guy's wasting his time. She'll just claim he was racially profiling, not exactly a hard sell to a DC jury.

She can always use the Jews in Dunwoody excuse...

Maybe she can ask a Saudi sheik to fund her legal defense...

Fantastic. There is no one in Congress who I hate more than this woman. She makes Teddy Kennedy look thoughtful and intelligent.

The Kennedys are like the Bonapartes in France. They think they have the God-given right to rule. Laws are for the peasantry.

I think the Limburger spray would work even better. :)
