The Fraternal Order of Police is not only helping the officer Rep. McKinney assaulted. They are also going after Rep. McKinney's driver who impersonated an officer on camera to a reporter to move him away from the elected official.

Union officials are also looking into the run-in between one of the congresswoman's employees and Channel 2 Action News reporter Scott MacFarlane.

They're looking into the background of the man who claimed on-camera to be a police officer.

The union says he should be prosecuted for impersonating a police officer.

Rep. McKinney's office says the man is her driver, not a police officer.

“We rail against people who use police authority when they don't have it,” says Canterbury.

“It's dangerous for police officers. It's dangerous for the public. Imitating police is not a good thing,” he added.
