Bryce Ross-Johnson from The Glee Project allegedly attempted to taunt Pittsburgh policemen into shooting him with their guns Saturday.
He claims police racially discriminated against him, only arresting him because he is black.
TMZ obtained the criminal complaint against Ross-Johnson. It says there Ross-Johnson was kicked out of a bar after he fought with a bouncer over a hat that violated the dress code.
When the Police arrived, Bryce started to become nervous and taunted:
“Hey, I’m African-American, you want to shoot me? Why don’t you shoot me, that’s what you do to black guys, right?”
Officers kept their cool and didn’t shoot; however, they did arrest Ross-Johnson for disorderly conduct, drunkenness, assault, resisting arrest and defiant trespass.
He is still convinced the officers and the bouncer, who are all white, targeted him for being black. He admits that he taunted over race, but he says he only did it because the questions being asked by the police were stupid. He claims they asked him what kind of drugs he used and when he was in prison last.
