A patriotic 78-year-old senior citizen, Alexander Kohanowich, likes to show his support for the troops by standing at busy intersections and events in town with flags and signs. His six grandkids call him “Pop.” Pop showed up at an Obama campaign rally this past week and got approval from a motorcycle police officer to stand with his signs. Kohanowich is hard of hearing and apparently didn’t realize another officer was telling him to move while he was being interviewed by a radio reporter. He put his hand on the officer’s shoulder–and now he’s been hit with a “misdemeanor charge of assaulting a government official.”
