YONKERS - A bizarre accident at Westchester County Airport involved Senator Hillary Clinton's entourage Sunday.

Sources tell News 12 Westchester that a vehicle in Senator Clinton's security team tried to bypass a mandatory check point at the airport, which has been under a heightened state of alert since the terrorist attacks. A county police officer attempting to stop the vehicle from getting through injured his shoulder. That officer was taken to Saint Agnes Hospital in White Plains, and his condition is not known.

Senator Clinton, who turned 54 Sunday, was en route to board a private jet to an unreleased destination. The former first lady could not be reached for comment.

I say that J.C.'s case was totally overblown. His wife tripped while handling the luggage so he helped her up and carried her bags inside in full sight of the cop you gave him the ticket according to our local news. Then he came back and basically told the cop off as he was writing the ticket! It was all over the news media with breaking news.

Those cops at the OKC airport are nothing more than rent-a-cops that like to harrass people trying to park at the terminal to let passengers off! My son was dropping off my daughter and I for a band trip in May, pulled into a space so we could get out and get our luggage out of the trunk and the cop gave him a ticket for not putting money in the meter -- guess we were supposed to do that before getting our luggage out of the trunk. As I was getting a quarter out of my wallet, he started writing the ticket and then handed it to me and told me he would write another one if I didn't put money in the meter which I had in my hand to do so. Suffice it to say that I was not happy!

Maybe J.C. shouldn't have left the car to help his wife, but having dealt with these rent-a-cops, I was glad to see him tell him off. But it really wasn't a big deal the press made it out to be. He also did it as a husband not as a Congressman and he certainly didn't run someone over!

If I were the officer I would sue her big butt!!

Unless she was in that vehicle, it won't work.

I got a ticket once for "Feeding The Meter" I put one quater in the meter and went in the store to get some change to put 2 more quaters in to give me the full hour.The cop said once you leave the curbside, you may not return to your car for the purpose of putting in more money!I kid you not. Maybe now, the law enforcement community has less spare time on their hands.

Of course Hillary was in a hurry. She had to get to two fundraisers yesterday, one in Sullivan County in the Catskills and one in Orange County: Clinton mingles with local Dems.

The Road Runner now has a name. Beep! Beep!

Typical of the arrogance of the Clintons, which pervades their elete little world. It will be explained away as having been an emergency for "the children", of course.

The hateful hubris is her fat royal assness is boundless.

[Sir Clancelot]

When Hillary took all those campaign dollars from groups that supported terrorism, they became to her what China was to Bill. They probably supply her with private jets so she won't fall victim to the dangers of commercial travel. And maybe they figure they will need her if she ever makes 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. her address again.

And by the way, why didn't airport security shoot at the car if it drove around a security barricade?

[DuncanWaring]

The police shoulda considered using brother-in-law as a speed bump.

That's not a speed bump - that's a roadblock.

[PhiKapMom]

I certainly believe you. I also hope they are putting their time to better use now but I wouldn't bet on it. Personally I was glad to see the National Guard Security Police at the OKC Airport because now they have real security. Bet they aren't 50 pounds overweight either and I am being kind at 50 lbs!

I thought that airport security for years has been a joke -- they used to have all women doing security at the metal detectors here and most of them were well passed the age for security officers! I never realized that the airlines hired security people until Sep 11th. I am not impressed!

Years ago we had civilians manning the gates at Air Force Materiel Command bases and they were a joke. Was so glad when the military took over that function after numerous problems with the civilian SP's and their lack of checking who came and went on the base. Hope that if they put federal law enforcement at the airports, they are fully trained like other federal law enforcement officers and not like the civilians SP's we used to have.

[SocialMeltdown]

Hillary needs to explain why she and her entourage are above security checks.

This just goes to show that our “elites” don’t care what kind of laws they pass because the laws don’t apply to them.

[aristeides]

I posted that story from an Orange Co. paper about Hillary going to fundraisers yesterday on a separate thread: Clinton mingles with local Dems (HILLARY IN HURRY AT AIRPORT BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO FUNDRAISERS).

[Terriergal]

UN - real!!!!

[Irma]

That's not a speed bump - that's a roadblock.

LOL....after further reflection, I think you're right!

 

[Terriergal]

Oops, that reply was meant for the orignal article, not yours, PhiKapMom...

[DinkyDau]

Some things just don't change. Her Royal C*** is too imperious to have to deal with annoying little things that the rest of us Americans have to contend with...like security Check points.

[chito]

please make this people go away......

[The Grim Freeper]

It's not the first time the Clinton's have had someone run over.

[mom of 2 GOP kids]

If this were anyone else, they would be charged with assault on a law enforcement officer with bodily injury, disobeying the orders of a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, etc. Who the h*ll does she think she is? By the way, it did make todays paper here in FL. (although I live in a Republican county)

[shiva]

Still too important to be put out by flying commercial like the "little people" of her state must do.

Her broom must be broken.
