Georgia Rep. Cynthis McKinney (DEM) has now stated that she hit a capitol police officer after an "inappropriate touching" incident. That's funny, I was pretty sure she DID NOT have on her congressional pin, bypassed security, did not stop at the request of the officer and then struck him in the chest when he grabbed her arm. She showed up today with Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, several NAACP officials and school children from her district (holding signs - "God Bless Cynthia). After an on slaught of the racial blame game, Lethal Weapon Glover got up to throw in his 2 cents. Oh and this...naturally...
While McKinney asserted her innocence, her lawyer said she was "just a victim of being in Congress while black." "Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin," James W. Myart Jr. said.
Howard Pressley, president of NAACP Georgia, called the incident a tragedy and use of excessive force.
"The mistreatment of Cynthia McKinney at the hands of Capitol Hill Police is a tragedy of major proportion and points to the vigor of outright disrespect for women and people of color," Pressley said.
Pressley and Myart also implied that McKinney's "progressive" politics may have made her a target for mistreatment.*
GEEZ...these are the same Democrates that want the illegal immigrants to continue breaking the law, just as they do. This is the same thing happening in every town, school, Walmart across this nation. It isn't about color, race or gender, it is about wrong and right, following the ESTABLISHED RULES and being justly punished for not. They break the rules and when they get called on it, they make up excuses. No, I'm not being a racist, this is just how it is. PEOPLE will not do the right thing.
