CNN.com - Capitol police chief faults McKinney for escalating incident - Apr 5, 2006

Not sure why certain people turn everything into a racial issue. But, they do. I'm happy to see that nobody in Congress is backing up McKinney. A police officer told her to stop, she didn't, he grabbed her, she hit him. Pretty black and white issue (pun intended).

When asked why she doesn't wear the pin all congressmen are asked to, she replied:

"Face recognition is the issue .... The pin doesn't have my name on it and it doesn't have my picture on it, and so security should not be based on a pin ... People are focused on my hairdo."

Oddly, her face also doesn't have her name on it. And, not wearing a badge with her face and name on it also isn't up her alley either. Not to mention she just changed her "signature" hairdo from corn rows to an afro. I can understand someone not recognizing her. If a congressman had a full beard, then shaved it, he likely wouldn't be recognized either.

Get over it McKinney, you look like a moron.
