She tried to enter the House w/o ID, was stopped and hit an officer.

Her supporters are trying to play the race and sexual assault cards at the same time.

I'm sure there was video of the incident.

I doubt there's video--if there were, it would have been all over the news the day this occurred.

As to the race card, well, maybe it needs to be played. Let the investigation run its course. My first comment on the first thread that dealt with the matter asked "would she have been stopped if she was a middle-aged or older white man?" and I think it's a legitimate question.

she is on CNN right now...

Inappropriate touching....right. So you're not allowed to touch someone on the shoulder now?

There is video but they are not releasing it. She should be charged. If anyone here punched a cop they'd be charged.

If that person wasn't wearing their ID, like she was supposed to, and then didn't stop when asked, the officer better have stopped them.

Either way, she hit the officer, which is an offense by itself.

Sweeeeeeeeeet

Hello! She hit a cop. You don't hit cops. Not to mention she wasn't wearing her ID and failed to stop when told to do so. I don't see what race has to do with this case whatsoever. The Race card is vastly overplayed.

And to answer your closing question, the answer would be yes.

Sweeeeeeeeeet

I actually doubt it.

The question is should not would. If it is policy to stop and identify anyone passing through, she is still in the wrong. It doesn't matter for her whether or not the officers would have given a free pass to someone else.

She hit a cop. Boo-hoo, so what? She's black, so that automatically makes her immune to the law. If you punish her, you are discriminating against blacks as a whole. Racist pricks.

She should be considered lucky that she's not dead... I'm surprised that the officer didn't just shoot this future ex-representative.

tahts what I would've done

The officer is lucky he didn't stop Cindy's dad, Billy. Billy McKinney was a Georgia State legislator and some of his more famous oratory were threats of 'cutting' other legislators on the House floor.

And Cindy will never have trouble with her re-elections. See the first paragraph for a description of her campaign manager.

If she is arrested and found guilty, she won't be allowed back in the house.

Oh, I wouldn't doubt she has the support for reelection... The problem is, the crime is a felony, if she is charged with it and convicted, she may have tons and tons of support, but she would be constitutionally ineligible for the office (and thus unable to run) for a minimum of 7 years.

What nimrods outcry as "racial profilling" and "inappropriate touching" is called "normal police operations to control entry to secure buildings by stopping non identified persons entering, and detaining those with any and all necessary force who attempt to break security"...

She did not have ID displayed...

She ignored repeated requests by a uniformed officer in charge of controlling access to the building, to stop...

And then hits the officer after he reaches a point where it requires using more force to prevent this appearant break in security.

Apparently, she hit him with a cell phone. That could be assault with a weapon

I don't think a jury of her peers in DC will ever find her guilty. It's like expecting O.J. to hang. After all, it was a _racist_ assault on a member of Congress.

This better be sarcasm.

Only the third sentence.

Just typical of the kind of people we have in washington to "lead" us. Rules are made for Suckers and Plebes, not the rarefied likes of one of the 535 members of the Legislature... :rolleyes:

F*ck her. If I had tried a stunt like that I would have been tackled & shackled before I got to throw the first punch/cell phone.

She deserves to be made an example.

No kidding....

"How dare this police officer attempt to detain me for entering a secure building, not showing him my credentials, and then ignoring his repeated requests for me to stop..... I had an important meeting to go to, and could not be bothered with matters of security...."

Typical Democrat. you dont see republicans breaking the law. do you? and assualting an officer, unbevielable. Thank god they are in power, they'd probably make all our cops go out w/o guns.

Anyone who knows anything about Mckinney isn't surprised by her claim of racial prejustice, it's all she has ever done. The "race card" is the only card in her hand.

Typical Democrat. you dont see republicans breaking the law. do you?

LMFAO!

1. Get yourself a newspaper and start reading it. I've lost track of all the Republican congressmen under investigation for one reason or another.

2. You have illustrated a key difference between Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans are better at covering up their lies...because they have more experience telling them.

Cheney shot a fellow geezer in the face?!

You don't hit cops.

Yes I do. All the time. Whenever I'm bored and there's a cop that needs a good sock in the face. Great fun.

This was either extreme irony or blindness on one eye. It is true that the Republican stance is more for law and order, but that doesn't automatically make their representatives lawful people (nor does a Democrat stance for public welfare make their representatives kind). You got to judge both sides by their actions (judging one side by its actions and the other by their good intentions isn't enough).

you dont see republicans breaking the law. do you?

lol Tom Delay :D

Typical Democrat. you dont see republicans breaking the law. do you?

Correct. They prefer to change the law to suit their needs - and then pretend they were always so. Orwell would be so proud.

I'm calling the election. President Cynthia McKinney in 2008.

So, everyone should calm down about the President's activities, she's the president and that sucka had it coming.

You don't hit cops.

Only if they don't hit me. Otherwise, I'm attacking the eyes first.

And yet another gold piece by none other than our upcoming troll. Look at him go folks. NSCommando, Jesussaves, Socialist Whittier, they came, they saw and left legendary marks of trolldom, but UNA here is working hard and fast to beat them all. Think he can do it folks? Can he beat the other trolls to become the King of Trolls?
