Video shared Tuesday showed the moment street preacher Damon Atkin was arrested in Pennsylvania at a recent “Pride” event.

Atkin arrived at the event with a sign, a Bible, and his Faith. Within a minute of joining a group of Christians freely expressing their views — as they are allowed to under the First Amendment — Atkins was arrested and charged with criminal disorderly conduct, according to CBN.

The situation was caught on video by a local resident who subsequently joined the crowd to preach in the street. An officer approached the resident, put a finger on him, and said, “if you don’t stop shouting insults across the street I will arrest you on the spot.”

The officer, identified by one outlet as Police Sergeant Bradley T. McClure, asked Atkins to “let them have their event” and “respect them.” But the same freedoms were not awarded to Atkins and other men and women of faith in the vicinity.
