In a video published on YouTube on May 3rd, a man was seen being arrested at the Fresno Mardi Gras celebration. Although the police accused him of singing the Eazy-E song ‘Fuck the Police’, the man claims that he was indeed singing ‘Punk Police’ by Mac Dre, both of which are great songs.

Although not many details are available about the incident, witnesses are heard on the video corroborating the man’s story that he indeed was simply singing a song which caused the arrest.

In a clear violation of the first amendment, and even scarier –being arrested for simply verbally calling police punks– the man was taken away into custody in protest, accusing police of discriminating against him because of his appearance.

What is encouraging about the incident is that people seem to be standing their ground against police more often and more directly. Here is the video:
