You forgot this part of your quote. "Wednesday's incident was not the first time a Capitol Hill police officer failed to recognize McKinney as a member of Congress. Her office on Thursday posted on her Web site a clip from a documentary, "American Blackout," that features one such encounter. The clip first shows a black police officer recognizing McKinney and welcoming her back to Congress in 2005, when she returned after a two-year hiatus because of a 2002 re-election defeat. It then shows a white officer approaching her and the filmmakers as they enter the Capitol grounds, asking McKinney and the crew to identify themselves. Told that McKinney is a member of Congress, the officers backs off and starts apologizing. "That's just the typical kind of treatment that I receive," McKinney says on camera. "So I'm not surprised and I'm not offended." In what she says is a quote from the late hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur, she adds, "Some things never change.""
