WNU Editor: The curfew wasstarting, and it looks like the 75-year-old man was trying to block the police with his right hand. Not a smart thing to do. But what was even beyond stupid was the reaction of two police officers who pushed him down. I will not be surprised if they are fired after a review. They may even be facing charges.
