Shooting someone is supposed to be a last, not first, resort. Using the least force necessary is not only law, but common sense. Do you really think ignoring a security guard is grounds for being shot immediately, or wouldn't it be more prudent to work one's way up to shooting? Say: 1) say "stop", 2) grab the person (preferably by the shoulder or arm, trying to avoid the naughty bits), 3) taser, stun gun, or nightstick them, 4) threaten with a gun, and finally 5) <I>sho[o]t the bitch</I>?<BR/><BR/><I>... and if she really did assault the officer as they say, why wasn't a bitch arrested on the spot? </I><BR/><BR/>You got me there. I, as a white man but not a congressman, would've spent some time in the slammer had I punched an officer of the law (or thrown a cell phone, or whatever). Perhaps once it was clear who she was, the situation dictated that she was somewhat above the law. I guess membership does have its privileges.leomangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253348099287616819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1145301841688446792006-04-17T14:24:00.000-05:002006-04-17T14:24:00.000-05:00Uppity or Bougie? :)Uppity or Bougie? :)Bougie Black Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506775720375703221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1145284909699607192006-04-17T09:41:00.000-05:002006-04-17T09:41:00.000-05:00Cynthia McKinney is my hero!

Very smart people don't assualt other people without reason. Mass media continually manipulates facts to manipulate the public. In this case we don't even have all the facts. All we know is that a woman was inappropriately touched and she hauled off and clocked the person who touched her. The fact that he was an officer is off little consequence to me. Law enforcement officials are not above reproach. If she was clearly breaking the law and ignoring an order to stop, they should have shot her ass and if she really did assault the officer as they say, why wasn't a bitch arrested on the spot? There is something rotten in the cotton and it will come out if this makes it to trial. I think it will.

I have no doubt that a lot of what you're saying is true, but I don't think her "arrogant" defense has much to do with her being black or her being a woman.<BR/><BR/>When someone in a position of power does something wrong, the public wants him or her to throw themselves on our mercy, no matter what the offense. So Eddie Murphy sleeps with a hooker, denies it, and we all make fun of him for it to this day. Hugh Grant sleeps with a hooker, goes on TV and apologizes for it, and everyone loves him again.<BR/><BR/>That's a glib example, I know, but I still think the response to the security guard thing would have been the same to any Congressperson who pulled such a stunt.Limecretehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929547148794929047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1145277914278906172006-04-17T07:45:00.000-05:002006-04-17T07:45:00.000-05:00I imagine that Rep McKinney was angry, angry, angr...I imagine that Rep McKinney was angry, angry, angry about the way that she was treated.

I was not there at the time. However I am rather pissed at CNN’s Bitch O’Brien for staging and performing what amounted to a public castigation of Congresswoman McKinney. <BR/><BR/>Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a 6 term legislator that won her last election with 64% of the vote. Bitch O’Brien may have indeed wanted to ask her questions but I think a little RESPECT was in order. Politeness alone does not count.<BR/><BR/>Now…just where was that officer she supposedly “hurt” with a cell phone? He’s a public servant as well, so why the hell wasn’t he on TV getting the third degree from Bitch O’Brien also? <BR/><BR/>Well, the Congresswoman apologized, but it isn’t over yet! They are still going after her from what I gather. Tens of thousands of We the People elected Cynthia McKinney, not officer snatch’n grab! But officer snatch’n grab did NOT have to publicly apologize! Why not?! Instead, we let the press hold a kangaroo court against an elected Congresswoman! <BR/><BR/>For me, it’s the same old story. The cops grabbed her a little to rough! She defended herself by hitting the officer, with a cell phone, in the chest. My my….what a terrible attack. I wonder just how many days of sick leave the officer had to take. Poor baby.<BR/><BR/>Then we hear from this officer’s boss Stating: “NOBODY has a right to hit an officer!” Well, please point out to me in the Constitution of these United States WHERE in the hell it says officers can GRAB cute little women Congressmen, but they cannot defend themselves against an Officer that GRABS! IT DON’T!<BR/><BR/>I’m sorry ABB…..but until more facts are known to this great admirer of Black women, I believe there has been an injustice and I want answers.<BR/><BR/>Special AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1145158762808885132006-04-15T22:39:00.000-05:002006-04-15T22:39:00.000-05:00It took you long enough to comment on this.

I suspect the TSA dude thought she was a "pushy" Northerner. "Pushy" is of course code for Jewish, and while she's actually Italian, I suspect she ran into a small-minded, petty functionary more intent on bolstering up his own teeny-tiny ego and wee-wee than on doing his job well and correctly. And, you know, they do this bolstering and inflating at other people's expense, and by golly if they don't do it more at the expense of women, and people of color. Sure, some of it is about poor training and incompetence, but anyone who's had a petty authoritarian with an iota of power abusing it on you--knows the difference.<BR/><BR/>We're not kidding around about this sexist and racist shit, y'all upthread who believe Representative McKinney was treated the way any old white man would have been treated. You might consider you don't get treated that way oh because you're not a woman, or you're not black.

If only more women took off their bras at airport security the airport would be a much creepier place.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, I hate the security at the airport as much as the next guy, but for the most part they're just trying to make an honest living in a paranoid world. It's not their fault they were poorly trained. We have a whole beaurocracy to blame for these individuals' incompetence. <BR/><BR/>And I must admit that I'm dismayed. I disagree with you, ABB, about McKinney. I'm sure there's much more to the story than I know, but being asked to show ID isn't putting anyone in their place. It's something we all have to do at some time or another. <BR/><BR/>For instance, today I woke up with a mucousy noggin and had to hit the pharmacy for some sudafed (I hate sudafed, but I hate a mucousy noggin even more). I had to show my ID. The pharmacist and I agreed that it was a stupid law, but he was doing what he was required to do as part of his job.

Mr Bonds holds the record for single season home runs and is chasing down the record for career home runs. Mr Bonds, the multi-millionaire, has allegedly evaded his taxes. Mr Bonds is under investigation for purjuring himself to the US Congress. Mr McGuire has faded into the background becuase he is retired...uppity or no. <BR/>As for Ms. McKinney, I cannot speak to her political record as I'm not familiar with it but her actions the other day are undefendable. The individual that tried to stop her was performing his duties. He may or may not have been persuaded to do such by her hair style, but for a US Representative to fly off the handle like that is inconcievable. Also, a story from my days at Corry Station, FL was that the Commanding Officer of the Base's wife tried to drive on to base without stopping at the gate to get permission and the Marine at the gate shot out her back window. She is white as fresh glue and needless to say she wasn't sporting an afro. <BR/>I also like to see women in office and even more so black women, it's a sign that our country is moving in the right direction but her violent response to a potentially innocent request was extremely unfortunate and not the least bit progressive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1145045082193287842006-04-14T15:04:00.000-05:002006-04-14T15:04:00.000-05:00Reminds me of the time a TSA officer had the nerve...Reminds me of the time a TSA officer had the nerve to ask me what I had on underneath my sweats before boarding an aircraft.
