#3 He said many cases like McKinney's never reach a grand jury because they're settled quietly and privately, avoiding a public spectacle .... ~~and another Atlanta street will be named after her.~~

#4 "Right from the start this U.S. attorney has handled this case differently from every other case," said Chuck Canterbury, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police. "And it's because it was Whitey's fault that a black woman was singled out by the KKK Capitol police cuz it was da man suppressing the sista, ya know and they don' like a black woman in a white man's world and fuck them whiteys she is a sitting congresswoman."

#7 I think she has a good case for discrimination since the Capitol Police gave Patrick Kennedy a freepass. White guy goes free, black woman prosecuted. DWI in many instances is assault with deadly weapon. Can be prosecuted as premeditated as well. The Capitol Police needs to apply the law to both fairly and equally!!!

But since they gave Kennedy a wink and a nod and drove him home... it would be very difficult to do anything to him now.

#8 TomAnon I agree with you and the comparison crossed my mind too when his accident hit the news cycle.

#9 Well not do disagree, but as a former cop I can tell you that I would view a drunken Kennedy as a cliche.. worthy only of pity, or maybe laughter. I still would have arrested him, but maybe the Capitol Police have different rules. But if he had gotten out of the car and slapped me in front of several witnesses, that ain't pity or laughter time. That's 'throw their ass in jail for felony assault on a police officer time'---regardless of color. Still, the Kennedy incident does raise some interesting questions. If it had not been capitol police but a regular street cop in a patrol car, maybe Kennedy would have been charged.

Bottom line is you can get away with a lot of things, depending on the cop. But one thing a cop will NEVER let slide is when you assault him. And if you do go down, don't be a chicken shit and cry racism.

#10 Yes MCS, If I have to rank the offenses, Assaulting a Police Officer is at the top. Clearly a person capable of doing that is capable of doing anything with no regard to the law. However, by not prosecuting Kennedy and letting him walk, any half witted lawyer now has the ammo he/she needs to create doubt in the mind of at least one juror... and trust me if it comes to a trial they will be looking awfully hard for that one.

#11 There will be no trial. The "Royals" and most of the wealthy in this country are immune from arrest and prosecution. If it was me or you our asses would already be rotting in jail. It's the system.

This is one more example of why I am not sure anymore it's worth saving.
