***** A 61-year-old man happily singing a Beach Boys song in front of a crowded restaurant in Pennsylvania was violently body slammed by a cop before he was carted off to jail Friday.

But Allentown police have yet to tell Jim Ochse what charges he is facing, assuring the self-employed athletic trainer that he will be cited by mail – most likely waiting for the videos to surface before concocting their narrative.

Depends on which Beach Boys’ song.

If it was “Good Vibrations” he gets a pass, but if it was “Kokomo”, then I say, ‘Break out the nightsticks.’

Sorry, can’t comment as skin colors of those involved isn’t reported in the story. You can only tell so much by age and eye witness accounts.

Can’t watch. Sends me into a rage.

The guy was off balance but didn’t earn that treatment.

Somebody try to tell me how cops are “good”. This pig has issues.

He pointed his finger at the cop...like it was a gun. Cop acted out of fear.

This guy reminds me of the “don’t taze me bro” guy.
