So now Channel 9 news here in Washington, DC just showed Cynthia McKinney's attorney whining about how she got detained for punching a police officer. It saddens me that McKinney is playing the race card. Her attorney is now demanding that a "criminal investigation" be done against this good, upstanding police officer whom she punched. They are bringing the NAACP again. Now McKinney is playing the matryr. I want to gag.
McKinney is whining about the incident, comparing herself to legitimate victims of "police brutality". She is trying to make this about race and instead of her own shortcomings. She will not discuss the incident, which makes me wonder if she knows that she is manipulating this incident for political gain.
I know McKinney is a hero to some of you because she is more Pro-Palestinian than most, if not all, Democrats on the Hill. Also I know that she is heroic to some of you because she said stuff about 9/11 that appealed to your instincts.
But frankly I think McKinney is going to ruin the career of a good police officer who did his job. She didn't have a lapel identifying her as a Congresswoman. Was the cop supposed to let go undetected? What if the cop had let her go and she had not been McKinney? What if something horrible happen? Anyway, I am just incredulous that McKinney punched him. That is unbecoming conduct for ANY member of Congress, Democrat or Republican.
I feel bad for this officer. Instead of assuming personal responsiblity, it seems like McKinney is playing the race card. She is going to make herself look like the victim and ruin the career of this officer who was only doing his job.
I don't see McKinney as a victim. Maybe the ordeal unfolded in a different manner, but I don't believe McKinney. She is too crass to not play the victim and use the race card. I just feel bad for this officer.
What a shame that for doing his job, his life may be ruined because Cytnhia McKinney must fan racial divisions by playing the race card. She is an embarassment to the Democratic Party.
