By Jason Pan and Chen Yun / Staff reportersChinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Arthur Chen (陳宜民) yesterday apologized for pushing a female police officer during a protest at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Taipei on Friday last week. Footage from the incident appeared to show Chen asking the police officer for the name of her unit and then knocking her cap off before pushing her. Chen said he hoped that the incident would not obscure the message of the protest. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is considering revoking her party membership, DPP Taipei City chapter director Chen Cheng-te (陳正德) said. A decision on Yang’s membership would follow the outcome of an investigation by Taipei prosecutors, Chen said after presiding over a chapter executive committee meeting on Tuesday.
