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."
Same old story that has been going on forever. One set of rules for the ruling class, and a stricter set for the plebians.

I love you, man. I can hardly wait!

Not surprised one little bit. I just hope that cop sticks to his guns (so to speak) and doesn't back down.
Hopefully you are right...
Oh please, oh please televise this!
I guess he wants to lose his job and get nothing in return.

Yes, that's what it'll hinge on.
This sure has brightened my day!...LOL
"From what I remember, assault can even include words. BATTERY is the act of physically touching another without consent."
yeah that's why i said i don't know the law there. we don't have battery in new york as a criminal offense. they may have that there. then it would be a crime.
Too lenient. 9 mil better.
And i hope there are lots of witnesses who can corroborate his story.
Bet the cop was a Zionist!
BTTT
Kristinn and the DC Chapter might have a better idea about this. I'll ping him...
Marlo Thomas didn't just play an idiot, she is one. While Russia was under the rule of communism, the Catholic Church prayed at the end of every Mass for the conversion of Russia because Christians were persecuted there. Marlo Thomas said that the church was EVIL because it was praying AGAINST the people in Russia. She claims to be a Catholic. She's an idiot.
