“Dancing while black” goes horribly wrong for Ellen-inspired YouTube prankster

In yet another incident illustrating the current environment of distrust and disrespect between police officers and civilians, a YouTube prankster attempting to mimic Ellen DeGeneres found himself sprawled on the sidewalk. 
The prank, originally created by the always fancy-footed talk show host DeGeneres, is a “dare” to dance behind strangers without them noticing, then acting totally cool if they do, while having the dare filmed. Internet personality Alexander Bok, a man of color, attempted a series of dance dares at Grand Central Station in New York on Christmas Eve. His dancing didn’t go over so well when he attempted to dance in front of a parked NYPD van. In fact, cops rushed Bok, yelling, "What’s wrong with you, bro?" before throwing him to the ground.
