Myerstown,PA dairy farm

As farmers raced to evacuate cattle from a burning barn in Myerstown, one man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer who attempted to stop the rescue effort.

Yep - That is what i read also.

Probably hit the trooper in the knuckles with his face... Those attacks on police happen from time to time.

IMHO, the assault on the state trooper was more than justified.

Disclaimer: I own a farm and livestock, and consider it my duty to protect my livestock and give them a good, healthy and safe environment to live in.

Trooper overstepped, he could have suggested the farmer vacate for his own safety. But his barn, his cows. his choice.
I pity the cop who tries to stop me from entering my burning house to save a family member. My house, my family, my choice.

It generally proves unwise to stand between a man and his family or to stand between a man and his livelihood.

Well, this is an unfortunate case. I am very sorry for these animals, on which the roof collapsed, and they died. Fortunately, nothing happened to the people.
I am afraid to imagine what losses the owner of the farm suffered. Especially if these cows were a good breed.
My uncle is a farmer, he has a big business, and I understand it using his example. About six months ago, the competition grew very much in this area, and he even bought Angus ' embryos. This breed is called business. As a rule, their meat is considered the most delicious. Thus, he managed to maintain a leading position in this area. In fact, it is much more complicated than it seems.

On Wednesday, Feb. 19, a hearing was held before Lebanon County Judge John Tylwalk who ordered the charges be reduced to obstruction of governmental authority, according to Steven Breit, WGAL-TV analyst and attorney for the Getz family.

As a result of the reduced charge, Getz has been given 90 days of unsupervised probation.

Good to read they are recovering.
