A Philadelphia man was arrested at the outskirts of an impromptu Barack Obama victory rally Tuesday night for mistakenly believing he could express an opinion different than the one held by the jeering revelers.
A YouTube video shows the unidentified man appearing to be roughed up by police officers before being cuffed and shoved into a patrol car to the delight of the unruly crowd which encircles the arrested man jumping up and down and chanting “O-Bam-a.”
The video depicts officers holding the man’s chest as he says, “I’m not trying to cause any trouble.”
The police then shove the man as the Obama crowd jeers.
“You know what? Don’t tell him no more. Don’t tell him no more. Just lock him up,” an officer states.
While the man is standing off to the side of the celebration, two officers grab him and shake him up, twist his arm behind his back and cuff him.
The crowd circles the man, chanting, “Oh-Bah-Mah! Oh-Bah-Mah!”
