McKinney declined to discuss the details of the altercation in subsequent media interviews. She has not formally shared her side of the altercation with the public, including: (1) whether she had heard the officer calling after her, or if so, knew that she was the "Ma'am" being called; (2) whether she was aware that an officer of the law was grabbing her, and therefore, assuming she swung her arm in a retaliatory motion; (3) whether she was aware that she was striking an officer of the law, and also; (4) the amount of force behind the alleged blow. The basic facts of the event, aside from McKinney's failure to wear her pin, thus remain in dispute. However, no one, including McKinney, has ever explained why she has never told her side of the story, or attempted to clear up any dispute in the facts.
