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.

no Republican could get away with such outrageous misconduct at the US Capitol (or anywhere else), and the MSM would have quickly lynched any R. in such a case

Forget the media, Republicans would have justifiably lynched such a freak themselves.

Thanks for the ping. Will be interesting as to what the Grand Jury decides. They are sure taking their time.

Do they think we are going to forget???
