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. . . .

but she wasn't driving. If you're in a cab and the cab driver starts driving like 100mph and gets pulled over by the police the passenger doesn't get a ticket.
Don't be so sure. She got booted once before in a primary, and this July Hank Johnson (a commissioner) is trying to take her out.

It's the 'different strokes for different folks' law don't ya know!!!!! That law exempts females, blacks, congresscritters, and illegal aliens......
Well, not that far...but he certainly should have put her on the ground and cuffed her.
Counting down till the race card is played.....
Was she wearing her pin this time?
2 clowns... appropriate pic.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Women who keep their old hairstyles, for twenty years are so, are trying to relive a happier time in their past. Nevermind that they look ridiculous, as mature adults.
The rules, at a very minimum, should be changed so that all Members of Congress should go through a metal detector. This is war time.

U.S. Capitol Police say there is surveillance video of a confrontation between an officer and Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, but they say the video will not be released.

McKinney’s staff members are defending her by distributing a clip of her from the new film “American Blackout.” McKinney is showing the filmmaker around the capitol grounds, and a security officer fails to recognize her at first, and stops her.
“That’s just typical of the type of treatment I receive. It’s typical. So, I’m not surprised and I’m not offended,” McKinney said. “Okay. Thank you. Some things never change. That’s what Tupac said.”

McKinney's office says that the Representative will speak in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m. 11Alive.com will carry that press conference live.
The picture accurately represents her constituency.
Do you think the guy is still going to have a job?
And here comes the race card! :-)
