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.

LOL. That’s so wrong.
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.
The police state...keeping you safe.
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.
barbara ann? sorta.
The article is written to support one point of view. I don’t believe any of it.
Who were the two ‘suits’ standing there watching the policeman trying to cuffed the man?
Must have been a Rolling Stones fan......................
Security guards......................
Cop must have been a Dick Dale fan.
The guy will be financially well off for the rest of his life courtesy of the officer in the video.
Does it take a wall to fall on you?
Yeah. This happened about 15 miles away from where I work. Here’s the local news take on it:
