Cynthia McKinney punches police officer
 According to sources on Capitol Hill, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-emented) punched a Capitol police officer on Wednesday afternoon after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.Members of Congress are not required to pass through metal detectors. Sources say that the officer was at a position in the Longworth House Office Building, and did not recognize McKinney, nor saw her credentials as she went around the metal detector. The officer called out, Maam, Maam, and walked after her in an attempt to stop her. When he caught McKinney, he grabbed her by the arm. Witnesses say McKinney pulled her arm away, and with her cell phone in hand, punched the officer in the chest. McKinneys office has not responded to requests for comment. First time she's ever shut up. According to the Drudge Report, the entire incident is on tape. Drudge continues, "The cop is pressing charges, and the USCP (United States Capitol Police) are waiting until Congress adjurns to arrest her, a source claims. The House has the power to expell her. Of course, she'll be reelected in the Fall. Posted by: Jackal 2006-03-30 |
