Officer urged not to sue Rep. McKinney

Peep it:

The Capitol Hill cop Cynthia McKinney punched has been ordered by higher-ups not to sue/press charges. Not going down well with many.
The Corner on National Review Online

I guess as to why: Politicians like to rail against racial profiling in every corner of America except that little niche where absence of profiling puts them at greater risk. I bet Capitol Hill police have SPECIFIC instructions to be wary of people who possess certain physical characteristics (such as dark skin) and the Congressfolk know about it and don't want it to become common knowledge after most of them have publicly stated their disdain for such "profiling" at airports and on highways.

Watch.
