McKinney Speaks (Again!?) Monday Morning
WXIA-TV Atlanta ^ | 4.3.06 | Michael King

U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-4th Ga.) is expected to have something new to say about her run-in with a Capitol police officer at a news conference on Monday morning.

The incident happened last week. McKinney says she was the victim of racial profiling by Capitol police in the incident.

McKinney’s spokespersons say that she will have “something new” to say at a 10:30 a.m. news conference, at the Community Church of Christ on Cascade Road in southwest Atlanta.

She of the Muslim name says it happened to her too (OK), it's an 'attack on black women'... no wonder I can't get attacked or touched 'inappropriately'.

Speaker (Reverand?) is complaining about racial profiling.

McKinney is making a big ta-do about this. It must be more serious than we know for her to be doing a 2nd presser.

This apparently isn't the first such incident Capitol police have had with Ms McKinney.

They need to release the tape. That would be interesting.

[If the police were abusive, I'd bet the tape would have been televised on every network news cast throughout the Nation. So much for pofiling.]

Dayum... I know it's Monday... but this is too much. Will they please come frog march her while they're talking... or at least issue paper?

M, I think the cop should file discrimination... DC is chocolate city.

Oh, now she wanted special treatment... hello, security.

I think they needed a second presser when they saw the polling data that came out after the first.

I just packed up my computer external speakers this morning so I'm straining really hard to hear this. But, here's a pic of Cyn having a good time at the love fest.

If it wasn't for the Georgia Capitol Police, Mrs King's funeral would have been a bigger circus than it was!

Belly laugh. Thanks.

Given her mentality, she'd probably shriek that a white, racist snake had grabbed her ankle instead of a mere piece of gum--which she probably littered the lot with yesterday.

Wait for it... they locked up the offices... maybe for SECURITY?
Let me guess... it was Rove. s/

If there was that much profiling... they wouldn't be in office period.
