Highlights

Quote :

"McKinney, 51, scuffled with a police officer on March 29 when she entered a House office building without her identifying lapel pin and did not stop when asked. Several police sources said the officer, who was not identified, asked her three times to stop. When she kept going, he placed a hand somewhere on her and she hit him, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity."

Quote :

"McKinney issued a statement of regret for the incident but no apology. At a press conference Friday, she and her lawyers declared that she was a victim of inappropriate touching and racism and said they were considering pursuing civil action against the officer."

If she walks through security without showing ID and refuses to stop when a police officer tells her to stop, isn't touching her the appropriate thing to do? Somehow I doubt he grabbed her breast to make her stop.

Is this one of the most pure examples of somebody 'pulling the race card' and 'sex card' when they get in trouble? Or is there a factor I haven't considered?
Civil action lawsuit for doing your job (and not being negligent)...

I'm not convienced. Ape morality is still an open topic for discussion (rather than being in the same thread as what its actually talking about which is atheist morality where real comparison could go on)
