It appears the cops are embarassed now, and their superiors are in no mood for games.
I heard a rumor that because of this incidence, and the foot dragging to get superviors to agree to arrest Congresswoman McKinney, there was a threat of a full force revolt by the rank and file.
I hope it is true.
Oh, wouldn't THAT be fun!

I've heard that there are two conflicting groups within the Capitol Police - pre-9-11 officers who traditionally "look after" the members of Congress, and post-9-11 officers who want to be a serious security force.
