Officer Robert Busch also stated that Jim Ochse “became very hostile and began yelling in my face” when he first approached him for singing in front of a crowded restaurant.
Busch also wrote in his report that Ochse remained defiant even after being slammed to the pavement, keeping “his arms so tense that I could not move them or get the handcuffs on the defendant.”
As a result, he charged Ochse with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, according to The Morning Call.
***** 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.
Already, two videos have surfaced, thwarting their initial plan to claim Ochse had touched the officer, which, of course, would given the officer the green light to pound his skull into the pavement.
Instead, the videos show that Ochse was attempting to walk away when the cop grabbed him and slammed him down on the pavement in front of shocked witnesses eating and drinking at Shula’s Steakhouse in downtown Allentown while two security guards in dark suits stood passively watching.
The guards apparently told Louisa Ranis Soos, one of the women who recorded the incident, that Osche had touched the officer. This is how she described the incident after posting her video to

If it was “Don’t Worry, Baby,” the onlookers should have joined in the singing.
awwww ROFL
As a previous PEACE OFFICER, this thug cop forked up big time. Disrespecting the badge is NOT an offense. As a Security Manager, I’d give the Security guys a raise for not getting the place sued.
Anyone walking on a public street should always anticipate being body-slammed by a cop sometime during their day, don’t you think? /s
Oh yeah, that’s EXACTLY what I said. s/
What is wrong with cops nowadays?.....They are taught the job is revenue enhancement to sustain their jobs. They are no longer PEACE OFFICERS. Lower standards (AA, lower IQ) is what is at fault. All wrapped up in “It’s us against them.”
Back around 1979/1980 the older kids in elementary school were signing “bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran”
Cop who did this needs to lose his job. There was absolutely no reason to slam him into concrete. Then the cop lied about what happened.
“If it was “Don’t Worry, Baby,”
Certainly one of their best. My personal favorite is “All Summer Long” just because it always takes me back to a much happier time in my life.
Yes, Beach Boys music has always sent me into a homicidal rage, too...
Best version of ‘Barbara Ann’: The Who, with a drunken Keith Moon on vocals!
The best song the Beach Boys wished they did.

I was thinking it might have been There’s A Riot Goin On. (Isn’t that the one with the line about “ learned how to say nasty things about Southern policemen’s mothers”?)
I’ll bet the officer would have left the guy alone if he’d been singing a Billy Joel song...
That was horrible and seemed completely unnecessary.
No need for this amount of force. On top of it that start lying about the arrest until a video shows up.
That's some pretty good sarcasm, right there.
Apparently, the song was “Barbara Ann”, so I’m kind of on the fence regarding the cops’ justification...
