McKinney is having another news conference at 10:30 Eastern this morning, supposedly with something new to report about the incident.
A lot of this using race as an excuse started big time after the OJ Simpson debacle. They all seen that OJ got away with it, so they would try it too.
Curious this never seems to happen to J. C. Watts or Maxine Waters.
It looks like they have been stopped on her arrest.
This whole McKinney thing reminds me of a bratty child who pokes sticks and throws rocks at a chained-up dog, but when the dog gets loose and finally bites the kid, the kid screams that she did nothing wrong....
B*%$H and she is nothing more.
This time w/ Jesse and Al by her side?
Is is just me ....or should the whole of congress and the Senate have to wear ID badges, or at least have to show ID without being able to waltz around security. I understand they wear these little pins, which Ms. Mckinney couldn't even bother to wear...but come on. These guys are OUR employees...they should have to show ID.
Only in an America dominated by feminists and race-hucksters could someone get away with assault and blame those who she assaulted for their racism.
The USA has created a privileged class which can do no wrong! The media carefully avoids making this class take responsibility for their actions, and so they get away with whatever they want and blame us for racism!
Before I retired several years ago, I worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority, a Federal agency. Before 9/11 and, especially, in its aftermath, we adopted extensive security requirements where each of us had photographic identification and a proximity badge we could use to get into the areas we were authorized to be in. Assaulting a TVA police officer who merely asked one of us for identification probably would have gotten any one of us fired. I also remember stories from the Army where a rather junior PFC or corporal on guard duty would stop a colonel and demand proper identification that the colonel did not have and would be commended for following his orders and stopping the colonel. All McKinney had to do was politely say she was a congress critter and produce proper identification, something nearly all of her colleagues would have automatically done. She ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for her disgraceful conduct.
You are right, they ought to show ID.
Absolutely.
As one who has been in a position to have to stop and search flag officer vehicles, one never knows when one is simply being tested.
In these cases, it was always the O-3 aid that got indignant and raised the fuss.
There were even cases of people having fake or bogus ID cards that were blank on one side so that we'd have to get in the habit of checking both sides of an ID card.
There they said the best way to make E4 was to arrive an E5!
I've updated this old file:

On a less-funny note, be sure to use the links to see who provided most of her funds during her re-election bids. You won't be amused...
Treet Buckwheat's sister wit respeck!
I hadn't heard that. Could you please elaborate?
This is amazing to me. Where I work, I have to wear 2 badges. They have to be visible pretty much all of the time. People have the right (and the duty) to question who I am if they don't see the badges.
Why are the rules for Mizz McKinney any different (rhetorical question).
This falls under the heading of "No good deed goes unpunished."
Since the officer is going to be raked over the coals for showing restraint, I say the officers should, from this point forward, pepper spray any uncooperative individuals. Follow that up with a few baton blows, a couple of jolts from a TASER, and finally a very public strip search.
I'm sure that after this happens only once, the rest of the self-important will toe the line.
