Rep. Cynthia McKinney’s (D-GA) sideshow continues! Somehow we missed it when last week one of her aides shoved a reporter, identified himself as a police officer, and told the lowly journo, “I’m going to put your ass in jail.” (here’s the video.)

Now we learn that the police union officials are looking into suing McKinney on behalf of the officer she punched two weeks ago. “We’re going to make sure the officer won’t be harassed. We want the officer to be able talk to experts, who can look at his legal recourses, if he needed to,” Chuck Canterbury, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, told Atlanta’s WSB-TV.

The House Sergeant-at-Arms is looking into the impersonation incident. So is the police union.
