The official police report on Rep. Cynthia McKinney's clash with a Capitol Hill police officer three weeks ago says the DeKalb County congresswoman struck the officer "in his chest with {a} closed fist."

The "event report" — obtained Tuesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution — describes the altercation as an assault on a police officer.

The officer involved in the incident, identified as Paul McKenna, filed the report with his supervisors immediately after the incident occurred at 8:55 a.m. March 29. The report for the first time provides specific details of what happened when McKenna tried to stop McKinney from going around a security checkpoint at a House office building.

There had previously been reports that McKinney "stabbed" the officer with a cellphone or that she slapped McKenna with an open hand.

The wing-nut talk-show hosts keep carping about this non-story.

Yeah... all of us have been talking about it over here at the office all day.

A black woman lied about being descriminated against by a police officer and hit him.

Give me a break.

We are more concerned with the black woman lying about being raped by racially motivated lacross players.

She should be punished to the full extent of the law!
