NYPD Cops Throw Man To Ground After Seeing Him Doing Ellen Degeneres’ ‘Dance Dare’
[su_right_ad]Alexander Bok, whose fun and harmless pranks have brought him a YouTube following, took the Ellen Degeneres “Dance Dare” and had much fun with it until he danced behind a couple of New York City police officers.
BOK, posted footage on his YouTube channel of the encounter, which shows several officers crowding around BOK, with one asking him, “Are you f*cking kidding me, bro? Are you a f*cking a*shole?”…
“I challenge the viewers to sneak up behind perfect strangers, to dance behind them without them knowing it,” Degeneres said on her show. Previous “dance dares” have featured pregnant viewers, as well as viewers dancing at the Golden Gate Bridge and in front of JCPenney stores, among other settings.
BOK subsequently shot footage of himself dancing behind strangers inside Grand Central Station. In one scene, he dances behind a pair of officers without being caught, seemingly without incident.
But when he approaches the other officer from behind a police vehicle, the encounter quickly escalates. The officer approaches him and asks, “What’s wrong with you, bro?” as two more officers immediately join him. The officer backs BOK into the vehicle and places his hand on his chest. BOK is turned around and seemingly frisked.
At that point, a message appears on the screen saying, “After explaining what we were doing they kept going, insulting me … After endless attempts, realizing they cannot arrest me… they threw me on the ground.”[su_csky_ad]

NYC cops aren’t helping their cause by harassing plus assault and battery…

These shmucks have no respect for anybody, not even the mayor of New York. If you’re Black, they’ll use any pretext to assault you.

It’s no wonder people have little respect for the police.

I’m sorry but I think that dancing stuff is a bit weird. I’m surprised some civilian hasn’t decked him.

For being weird?

Not for being weird, but for being a jerk and involving some innocent person. Not all people take kindly to what they may consider being made fun of.

I think part of being a cop is embracing the “weird”. I rather enjoyed it, and it gave me great insight,

I think it is time for the NYPD to hire a PR firm, that isn’t controlled by the top 1%, to help with their image. The NYPD is turning into a public relations disaster that it may not be able to recover from.
