Police Union Wants Ethics Probe of McKinney

In Other Violations
No Agenda

After a federal grand jury refused to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney for assaulting a police officer, local and national police unions are calling for the House ethics committee to investigate.

<<< “Although she was not indicted by the grand jury, we hope that members of Congress will review her actions in light of their own rules within the ethics committee,” said Andy Maybo, chairman of the U.S. Capitol Police Fraternal Order of Police chapter.

Maybo said he plans to send a letter later this week to the ethics committee, known formally as the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, requesting an investigation into the incident.

A spokesman for the ethics committee did not immediately return a call for comment. While it is unclear what House rule the FOP members believe McKinney violated, the first rule in the ethics manual states: “A Member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives shall conduct himself at all times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives.”

“Congresswoman McKinney’s assault on Officer [Paul] McKenna was not only unprofessional for her position as a member of Congress, but we believe it puts out the wrong message across America, that it is OK to strike a police officer,” he said. >>>
