Two men dressed as Black Panthers stood outside a Philadelphia polling station, allegedly to intimidate voters on Tuesday afternoon.

The two men came to the polling station at University of Pennsylvania where a student caught video footage of them holding a "night stick," according to Fox news.

A Fox reporter was nearby and asked him why he was there and replied that he was "tired of white supremacy."

Watch the video below:

Police arrived and escorted the "Black Panther" with the nightstick off the premises.

The Black Panthers, also known as the Black Panther Party, was a violent militant group that as active in the late 1960s and 1970s espoused a Marxist/Maoist philosophy as a means to further black liberation and black power.
