McKinney incident referred to U.S. Attorney's Office
The Associated Press - ATLANTA
Capitol Hill police have referred a scuffle between one of their officers and U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., a spokesman for the office said Monday.
"We are working with Capitol Hill police to fully understand and appreciate the incident," principal assistant U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "Pending review, it is inappropriate for us to comment any further at this time."
Phillips would not say whether a warrant was issued for McKinney's arrest.
McKinney spokesman Coz Carson on Monday also acknowledged the investigation.
"We're aware that the wheels are turning in Washington," Carson said. "We have no control over what they decide to do. We will make the appropriate statement and take the appropriate action once we know where they're going."
At a press conference Monday morning, black clergy and lawmakers came the defense of the firebrand congresswoman. McKinney smiled as her supporters heaped praise on her leadership and her new look _ her trademark cornrows replaced earlier this year by a curly brown afro.

That's a very nice 'shop!

I haven't seen any mention of it, so I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that the cop was black.

LOLOL!
Too cute, devolve. ;o)
Looks like the bride of Buckwheat!!
I say "Give her the death penalty and make it painful"........
I agree. The democRATS don't think that rules apply to them.
Cynthis McCrack!! She certainly looks like it, wild eyed, wild hair, wild mouth.....and what comes out of it!
We need laws to forbid violent dangerous people seeking public office.
She looked like a bag lady...or a Whitney Houston wannabe.
$5 says she runs...$10 says she skips the country....no great loss, but the AMW parody some Freeper would do would be absolutely classic!
That photo is of sheila "my limo's double parked" jackass lee.
Yep....that thought crossed my mind, but I understand that Don King is a conservative and a Bush supporter - so Cynthia McKinney can't possibly have any resemblance to Don King!!
Arrrgh!!!
My eyes! My eyes!!!
Does Everybody think I don't know that??????
