They are just determined to keep this story going:

Police labor officials, angry over a federal grand jury’s refusal to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney for assaulting a police officer, said Monday said 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.

I of course do not know all the facts of this case but one thing sticks out in my mind. When we first started hearing details about what happened, it was reported that the officer came from behind and grabbed Rep. McKinney. After that, Rep. McKinney turned around and hit the officer. If that is the case then how could she be in trouble for hitting a police officer if she didn’t know it was a police officer? Her actions could be claimed in self defense.

If the House Ethics Committee does decide to investigate this then there should be a loud scream by Democrats for an investigation into Karl Rove. The same thing happened, there was an investigation and a grand jury decided not to indict. Of course it would take a different committee to investigate Rove but if the House wants to get in the business of investigating issues that have been decided by a grand jury then it must be so across the board.
