Congressional Privilege

A grand jury has declined to indict Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) for hitting a capitol hill police officer in March.

The chairman of the U.S. Capitol Police Fraternal Order of Police said that the organization was "extremely disappointed," and added, "We feel this sends the wrong message out across America that it is ok to hit a police officer, when in fact it is not."

It is not unless you are a Congressman.
