When we said get a backbone , that didnt mean go slap the shít out of the first cop that got in your way .............Sorry but here how the situation sounds to me , You broke the rules , you entered accsess controld building , without your Id , then got on your highhorse when confronted ...........
You maam are a member of congress , you helped pass these laws , you should be the first one to abide by them ........
Secondly , you are a democrat , but you behaved like a republican in disreguarding the law ...............
Taking notes from Tom Delay or george Bush is not good policy ...............
My advice to you is own up to your part in this , pay what fines that comes your way , and Stop Flying Issac Hayes around remburse the money ..........

If this is the case , Charges should be brought up .........who in the hell does she think she is Za Za Gabor ?

[elsid13]

Guy was doing his job, she shouldn't be so upset about it. If the guard doesn't see your badge he need to stop you, security only works if everyone is reviewed.

McKinney Apologizes for Incident With Cop By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer
8 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., expressed "sincere regret" Thursday for her altercation with a Capitol police officer, and offered an apology to the House.

ADVERTISEMENT

"There should not have been any physical contact in this incident," McKinney said in brief remarks on the House floor. "I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all and I regret its escalation and I apologize."

McKinney's comments came after the case had been referred to a federal grand jury for possible prosecution.

She had previously insisted she had done nothing wrong, and accused police of "racial profiling." She is African-American and the police officer is white.

McKinney, 51, has a history of confrontations with officers.

In this case, she entered a House office building without passing through the metal detector that screens visitors. Members of Congress are permitted to bypass the machines, but she was not wearing the pin that identified her as a House member at the time.

The officer, whose name has not been made public, has said he asked McKinney three times to stop. She did not.

Terrance Gainer, outgoing chief of the Capitol police force, has said that the officer placed a hand on her and she responded by hitting him. He said McKinney's race was not a factor.

The incident has embarrassed Democrats, including fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus, none of whom have publicly defended her behavior in the March 29 incident.

It was not clear which, if any, of her colleagues had urged McKinney to make the statement she did.

Republicans initially responded by advancing legislation to commend the Capitol police for their professionalism. Several GOP lawmakers sported pins expressing their support for the police.

It was unclear how much legal jeopardy McKinney confronted. A grand jury has subpoenaed two congressional aides who witnessed the confrontation.

Lisa Subrize, executive assistant to Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (news, bio, voting record), R-Mich., and Troy Phillips, senior legislative assistant to Rep. Sam Farr (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., notified Speaker Dennis Hastert late Wednesday, as is customary under House procedure.

"After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House," both aides said in statements that a clerk read into the House record.

Bob Jackson, a spokesman for McCotter, said that Subrize witnessed the confrontation and immediately filled out a form for the Capitol Police, describing what she saw.

He and a spokeswoman for Farr declined further comment.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who on Tuesday abandoned his re-election bid under a cloud of ethics charges, weighed in on Wednesday, saying McKinney "is a racist."

"She has a long history of racism," DeLay, R-Texas, said on Fox News Channel. "Everything is racism with her. This is incredible arrogance that sometimes hits these members of Congress, but especially Cynthia McKinney."

On Wednesday, McKinney had charged anew that racism is behind what she said is a pattern of difficulty in clearing Hill security checkpoints, arguing that officers assigned to protect Congress members should recognize her, even without her congressional pin.

"This has become much ado about hairdo," she said Wednesday on CBS' "The Early Show." McKinney recently dropped her trademark cornrows in favor loose curls.

The incident in a House office building has caused a commotion on Capitol Hill, where security in the era of terrorist threat is tighter than ever and where authorities had to order an evacuation just Monday because of a power outage. Capitol Police have turned the McKinney case over to U.S. Attorney Kenneth Wainstein.

On Hardball they said She was pissed at White House security back in 1996 because She had to prove to all these white cops who she was.

I don't know what color the majority of White House Police are and don't care. They have a job to do. I would bet that everyone short of the President and the first lady are checked when they go in. It is the freaking White House!

She is stupid, having said that this is not the big deal that my party is trying to make it. Republicans that are trying to make this a big deal are reaching to get people to focus on this instead of things like the Delay problem and other scandles.

[Spider]

The real bad part of this story is , there is real racism out there , cases like this just does the legit cases harm ..............Shame on Cynthia McKinney.........

[Spider]

That is true, but it is also nothing new. Look at Jesse Jackson.Jesse Jackson is nothing more then a shakedown artist , thats why he will never hold office ,I guess my point is when someone is elected , that means they gained your confidence , they are to represent you , your Ideas , and when an elected official does somthing like this , the blow is much more severe , then if it had been a Jesse Jackson , If Jackson or Sharpton had done this , 90% of us would say , oh hell he is a nutcase to begin with ..........But a Congress woman ..........Shame on her

McKinney was the one holding not one, but two press conferences on consequetive days to cast the light of truth on her oppression. Republicans did very little but comment on the absurdity of it all. Going back to the press conferences, did it strike anyone else as ironic that she had Mr. Lethal Weapon himself, Sgt. Roger Murtaugh standing behind her? Lethal Weapon 8: McKinney Strikes Out.

I want to points some facts out. First it was the Russell Building, where the Reps' offices are, not the White House. The Security Service does security at the White House, Capital Police (one involved) do it on Hill. DC is screwed up there are 8+ law enforcement agency that have oversight. Since it the Russell the public does have access to the building, a little tighter then since 9-11, but not much. So with public having access to the building the protection is harder, and the cops need to react quickly if someone push pass the line. I would have pulled my gun and order her on the floor, if did the same thing to me.

She should also apologize for inserting the race card in this incident which she caused. It's people like her who dilute the line between real racism and political expediency.

Watching right-wingers masturbating over this McKinney story while BushCo is being exposed as a WASP version of "The Sopranos" is like watching a crowd of onlookers clucking their tongues over a next-door neighbor who just got ticketed for jaywalking while a bank robbery and a murder are taking place in their own back yards.
