It was about "face time" for the militant Southern caucus. But its looking like its backfired on her and her "handlers". If the Grand jury goes forward I'm betting it will be because she accused officers, doing exactly what they get paid to do in the exact proper way, of being racists. - That sort of thing simply has to stop. Grutuitous playing of the race card everytime you do something out of line. In this case made worse because it was as much a play for national exposure for CAIR/NAACP, and its miscreants, as anything else. - Ms Mckinney may well be a decent good person thats getting very bad advice from people who have lost their minds and all common sense to their ideological extremist views. Some people seem to be forever stuck in victimhood with no way out. - Bang **== - This entire episode was not about the incident. It was about “face time” for the militant Southern caucus.

A police officer doesn't care one bit about whether you act like a lady or not. They care about being respected most of all, and McKinney has done everything but spit in the police face. The Congresswoman was in the wrong, she admitted it, then she went on a smear campaign, and then apologized for the 'incident'. If she was so maligned by the police then why did she apologize for what she did? She was in the wrong, the officer did his job, and she took offense and used her power as a Congresswoman to make a media blitz and smear campaign castigating the officer in public media. I have never seen such a horrible act of arrogance and mis-use of public power in an elected official. Wrong solitaire.

That's why many of us "rich, white Republicans" went out and voted for Denise Majette, a LIBERAL BLACK WOMAN, in the Georgia Democratic primary a few years ago, and ousted McKinney from office for a few blessed years...because we were sick and tired of her, and Majette was at least marginally less liberal than McKinney and probably could be counted on not to say and do stupid stuff all the time. God, I miss Denise! I wish she'd run again, but I suspect Cynthia has jerrymandered the district to her own favor by now. We don't give a damn about the color of Cynthia's skin. We care about her politics, which are abominable, and her behavior, which is irrational. I'm hoping and praying that she will continue to flap her gums and eventually dig the hole deep enough to get her ridden out of Washington on a rail, but I'm not holding my breath.

It shows her blow the checkpoint, but she had moved beyond its coverage before the officer grabbed her. It's up to eyewitness accounts for the grand jury, and there are enough inconsistent accounts I expect it to be dismissed. But I will be happy to be poroven wrong if they indict her.

Your right solitaire, and comments like this:

If this was a white congresswoman, the policeman would have been thrown in jail. – GA State Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam (D)

the real issues were “sex, race and Ms. McKinney’s progressiveness.” – One of McKinney’s Lawyers.

“this whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female, black congresswoman.” – Conresswoman McKinney

By the way, glad she pointed out she was BLACK and FEMALE, I would never have figured that one out if she hadn’t.

“assaulted” by a Capitol Police officer – James Myart Civil Rights Attorney

Because you know that she has to have a Civil Rights Attorney because this is a landmark Civil Rights Case!

she was assaulted and placed in impending fear of her safety – James Myart

“Not every assault deserves to be criminally prosecuted.”Michael Raffauf McKinney’s other attorney.

Thought that last quote was awfully strange considering the smear campaign McKinney was on for the Capitol Police, then suddenly it’s “Not every assault deserves to be criminally prosecuted.”

Well, if I lived in that district, I’d vote for him over “Buckwheat” any day… – Yeah camojack may be a bit more blunt, but doubt it was anything racist and bigoted as McKinney has been making.
