Did the police over react, probably, however, if he was asked six times to stop singing, and that a permit was required for musical performances in the park, it would seem he pushed his luck just a bit too far.

But it was a public park. You need a permit to sing in a public area now. I know that you need a permit in certain confined public areas such as subway and train stations in my city because it makes it hard for people to hear important announcement and the accoustics problem too. But this was out in the open...if you cant sing out in the open then you need to go around to every homeless and poor man around every town and city who is holding a musical instrument trying to earn a few buck and toss them in jail too.
