McKinney faces arrest over security incident
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 03/31/06 | BOB KEMPER

Capitol Hill police are expected to seek an arrest warrant next week for Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, who was involved in a physical confrontation with a Capitol police officer Wednesday, police and legal authorities said Thursday.

Officially, the investigation of the incident, in which the DeKalb County Democrat allegedly struck a police officer who tried to stop her from going around a security checkpoint, is ongoing, said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, spokeswoman for Capitol Hill police.

However, police have notified the federal prosecutor's office in Washington that they will be seeking an arrest warrant after the investigation is complete next week, said police and legal authorities, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because the investigation was not yet complete.

McKinney ignored a reporter's questions Thursday as she walked into the Capitol, before word of the planned arrest warrant. She could not be reached for comment later Thursday. . . .

She won't even apologize!

I wonder how many times she's in the majority. I'm guessing not very often.

Think she might get sentenced to sit in "ol' Sparky"?

Wouldn't change her hair style one bit.

Chief Gainer, if he's still there, backs his officers 100 percent.

Coincidentally Chief Gainer was found to have a nepotism problem - he hired his son-in-law against the rules of Federal hiring. His resignation is effective next Thursday.

When an enraged idiot tried to push through a police check point and slugs a police man, he should have incapacitated her even if the police man had to use fatal force.

You left this part out.

Why not? Dems have stooped to all-time lows with their campaign tactics, resorting to calling George W. Bush incompetent, calling for censure or impeachment, and putting our troops in harm's way. It's time Republicans stood up.

***Actually her driver ran into one correct?***

Yes, but they were about to go through a checkpoint at an airport WITHOUT stopping.

Thanks for dating that photo of Ms McKinney. When someone dresses like a tourist, they should be expected to be treated like a tourist. Ask any visitor to any Federal building how easy it is to walk around the security apparatus.

Her color was not the issue for the policeman, but her appearance.

In her district her getting re-elected for life is pretty much a no brainer.

I didn't leave anything out. You're apparently assuming this officer was all alone, out on an island (so to speak). I know better. He did his job very well, and I hope this freak is punished to the fullest extent of the law.
