"[E]xcessive force"?!?
If the reported accounts (grabbed her arm or some such) are true, she should count herself fortunate.
The officer should have used a taser on her a nanosecond after she resisted.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lawyer for Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who had an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, says she was "just a victim of being in Congress while black."Her lawyer, James W. Myart Jr., said, "Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin."
LOL, good. Just making it worse on herself...I was worried she might actually wise up and extricate herself from this. I should never have worried that a nitwit would ever see sense.
