Hope there are some TV cameras there for the arrest.

Nothing will come of this except the poor guard will be relocated to a parking lot foot patrol.

What's left to investigate? Or are they just hoping to talk the officer out of filing charges?

No, I think the Capitol Hill Police are pretty tight up and down the chain. Chief Gainer, if he's still there, backs his officers 100 percent.

She looks nuttier than a squirrel turd in that picture.

What this woman thinks can effect your life. Scary.

Act like a lady and there will be no problems.

I can't imagine Condoleeza reacting this way.

"Capitol Hill police are expected to seek an arrest warrant next week for Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia,"

Never put off until "next week" what you could do today.

Any wonder the Capitol Police didn't recognize her ...

Don't be silly.

Democrat politicians don't have to be responsible for their actions.

He's not a guard (private security employee), he's a Capitol Police Officer (sworn law enforcement officer/public employee).

That's a significant difference in the severity of assault charges.

If you hit the "rent-a-cop" at the mall, for all practical purposes, he's just another citizen, and it's assault on him as such.

Assaulting a Police Officer in the commission of his duties is an entirely different matter.

That doesn't mean that they won't knuckle under to pressure from her and her minions to whitewash the whole thing.

I hope not. I hope they at follow through, but.....

Isn't there some psychological theory about changing hairstyles and a person's stability? A correlation?
Remember Hillary's many hairdos during the first Clinton regime? I'm not smart enough to pursue this, but it seems that Cynthia may be having some sort of identity meltdown.

I dunno. If that were the case, I think this story would have already gone away. Pass the popcorn!

Looks like the lady to the far right of the photo already had an altercation with Ms. McKinney.
