AP: Police Union to Call for Ethics Probe of Rep. McKinney

Police labor officials, angry over a federal grand jury’s refusal to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney for assaulting a police officer, said Monday they want the House ethics committee to review her conduct.

And they said the grand jury’s decision last week sent the message that “it’s okay to hit a police officer.”

“We hope that members of Congress will review her actions in light of their rules within their own ethics committee,” Andrew Maybo, chairman of the U.S. Capitol Police Labor Committee, told reporters Monday at a news conference in Washington.

Maybo said the Fraternal Order of Police would send a letter later this week to the ethics committee suggesting that McKinney’s behavior violated an item in the chamber’s ethics manual that calls for members to “conduct (themselves) at all times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives.”

Big Deal! But, Flap supposes it is better than nothing.

But, does anyone really expect the House Ethics Committee to do anything – after all, she apologized on the floor of the House?

Good Grief…….
