Representative Cynthia McKinneys lawyer says that she is simply a victim of being in Congress while black.
McKinney planned a late-afternoon news conference in Washington to discuss the altercation she had with a Capitol police officer on Wednesday. Her lawyer, James W. Myart Jr. says that her problems with police are racial in nature.
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, Myart said. Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black.

Maybe she will be sued to the bottom.It sounds like they are trying to disparage a good Policeman's name who was doing what he was paid to do.Unlike a majority of 'Congresspeople'.

Poor woman looks like Magilla Gorilla.
It's a wonder that the cop recognized her as human, let alone a member of Congress.

I get the feeling this is going to blow up in Cynthia's face. I sure hope she gets arrested for it. If anyone of us
was to ignore a security guard in any civil building and be
so stupid as to touch them, we would find ourselves in a cell.
