The official police report on Rep. Cynthia McKinney's clash with a Capitol Hill police officer three weeks ago says the DeKalb County congresswoman struck the officer "in his chest with {a} closed fist."

The "event report" — obtained Tuesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution — describes the altercation as an assault on a police officer.

The officer involved in the incident, identified as Paul McKenna, filed the report with his supervisors immediately after the incident occurred at 8:55 a.m. March 29. The report for the first time provides specific details of what happened when McKenna tried to stop McKinney from going around a security checkpoint at a House office building.

There had previously been reports that McKinney "stabbed" the officer with a cellphone or that she slapped McKenna with an open hand.

Cynthia McKinney is being persecuted because she's Christian!

Let's claim that everyone is being persecuted for being Christian until that Fristian meme becomes a tired punchline and loses its power.

1. Well, since the guy keeps changing his story

it's a tempest in a teapot. I understand there's security film around someplace. The fact that it hasn't been shown to the public means somebody wants it suppressed, and that means this is just more political horse shit being directed at an outspoken Democrat.

2. He says there was a second black woman on the grassy knoll n/t

4. Well, considering the report was filed immediately after the incident,

"the guy" hasn't changed his story at all. The reporters, it seems, got it wrong. What's the chance of that?

7. Their statements have been rendered inoperative

We can't comment on an ongoing invesigation.

We're not going to play the blame game.

11. They filed the security tape

with the 9/11 tapes.

3. We always knew she threw a mean left.

6. None of this would have happened if she'd just shot him in the face

She would have gotten sixteen hours to sober-up before being questioned, and then the guard would have applogized.

8. Ain't it the truth!

:rofl:

5. Look, i like the congresswoman. But you just don't hit cops!

That said didn't this guy have on a bullet proof vest? It couldn't have hurt that much, he must be trying to make a point!

But after the SOTU debacle with Cindy, one would think the capitol hill police wouldn't want to make waves.

9. Someone's going to have a nervous breakdown after seeing this

thread, trying to cover the rape victem's threads, making sure to get all the pent-up venom spewed there, and also trying to get enough kicks at Cynthia McKinney launched over here!

12. No Kidding! (nt)

10. She "stabbed" the officer with a cellphone?

Maybe she shot him with her briefcase?

[Big_Mike]

13. Yes, and she had her official Maxwell Smart, Agent 86

shoephone as an alternate means of attack!

Actually, what we need here is the Cone of Silence, so we don't have to hear any more about this damn thing. She apologized. Rightly or wrongly. 'Nuff said.
