Rep. Cynthia McKinney has a news conference planned for 11:00. Police say there is surveillance video of her hitting a policeman, but they will not be releasing it, much to my disappointment.
She's sure to play the race card, imo.

There can be no doubt about it. It's her standard MO. I frankly think she is unbalanced.

A statement attributed to McKinney has been released on the Internet, where she allegedly claims to have been harassed by Capitol Hill Police.
The statement's writer says that she has been harassed by white police officers she says do not recognize her due to her recently changed hairstyle.
"Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers," the statement says.
The writer details the incident, saying, "I was rushing to my meeting when a white police officer yelled to me. He approached me, bodyblocked me, physically touching me. I used my arm to get him off of me. I told him not to touch me several times. He asked for my ID and I showed it to him. He then let me go and I proceeded to my meeting and I assume that the Police Officer resumed his duties. I have counseled with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Acting Assistant Chief Thompson several times before and counseled with them again on today's incident. I offered also to counsel with the offending police officer."
Yes, I heard on MSNBC last night, one of the anchors asked if it had been say, McCain, that walked by the guard, would he have done the same thing...
I knew then, this was setting up to be a "racist" thing..
