Report: McKinney struck officer with 'closed fist'
AJC.COM/METRO ^ | april 109 2006 | BOB KEMPER

The official police report on Rep. Cynthia McKinney's clash with a Capitol Hill police officer three weeks ago says the DeKalb County congresswoman struck the officer "in his chest with (a) closed fist."

The "event report" — obtained Tuesday by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution — describes the altercation as an assault on a police officer. The officer involved in the incident, identified as Paul McKenna, filed the report with his supervisors immediately after the incident occurred at 8:55 a.m. March 29.

The report for the first time provides specific details of what happened when McKenna tried to stop McKinney from going around a security checkpoint at a House office building.

But under pressure from House Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus, McKinney, a Democrat, apologized for the incident on the House floor last week.

No, not really.

This isn't just about her hitting a cop. The point is that this woman is such an embarrassment that she shouldn't be allowed to pretend she represents this government. Even Traficant was more sane. I would prefer that her constituents pick someone better, Democrat or Republican, but that isn't likely to happen.

Obviously he ran into her fist. It isn't her fault he wasn't looking where he was going... Just ask her...

Rush is right. "Sit back and endjoy it. They will get goofy when they are out of power."

I'm bombarded with racist comments and imagery.

I see people attacking racism not promoting it.
Perhaps you should change your tagline to Overly Sensitive Liberal.

"I bet she does not get so much as a reprimand."

Me too. But, then again, Ted Kennedy got away with manslaughter...that's the way it is with congressional royalty, untouchable.

If she had used an "open fist," it would have been called a "slap."

ANd you guys wonder why black people

Direct your comments towards the individuals making them instead of some group you perceive they belong to. I wouldn't ask you to answer for McKinney or associate you with her just because you are black. It wouldn't be fair to paint you with the same brush I'd paint McKinney, wouldn't you agree?

Mmm, hmmm. This is getting more revealing.

Either she closed her fist around the phone, or...

I usually hold my cell phone to my left ear and I am right-handed so if McCintey does the same thing, her socking hand was free.

BAM!!!

SA, you know this is "much ado about a hairdo" ....

Right?

We have to wait awhile for sentencing but it should be sweet.

Should be.

1 year probation, $1,000 in fines, 500 hours of community service.
