Capitol Police Official Request For McKinney Arrest Warrant
Whoa...
McKinney's people are quick to respond:
Blow it out of proportion? Wasn't it McKinney who accused the Capitol Hill police of touching her "inappropriatley" and stopping her because she is a black woman? If you don't want to blow something out of proportion you don't start through around accusations of abuse and racism.
I hope she is arrested and charged. Hitting a cop is wrong, I don't care who you are.
WASHINGTON — Capitol Hill police on Monday asked a federal prosecutor to approve an arrest warrant for Rep. Cynthia McKinney for her role in a scuffle with a police officer last week, the prosecutor's office confirmed.
Capitol Police had no immediate comment so it's not yet known whether the intent is to file felony or misdemeanor assault charges against McKinney, a DeKalb County Democrat.
McKinney's people are quick to respond:
Coz Carson, a spokesman for McKinney, said the requested warrant should be dismissed if "this is a prosecutor who's not a politician."
"Any prosecutor with any sense can look at this thing and understand that it's not something that should be blown out of proportion any further," Carson said.
