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.

Sounds to me like the activists are a bit jealous of all the attention the hispanic group is receiving for the border issue. So, they decided to bring their group back into the limelight by creating trouble where none previously existed...

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.

>>>or is it the 'Don King' look?<<<

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!!
