Tennis Player James Blake Tackled/Handcuffed By Police Over Mistaken Identity in NYC *Video Added*

[Kyle Barker]

The man on the right was the person NYPD cops were looking for when they allegedly detained and roughed up retired tennis star James Blake -- although it turns out neither was the culprit.

As we reported, Blake says he was slammed to the ground near his midtown hotel Wednesday, when he was on his way to the U.S. Open. Blake says 5 officers manhandled and cuffed him because they said he matched the description of a suspect in a credit card fraud scheme.

We don't know the name of the man on the right. He obviously has darker skin but there is a likeness between the 2.

Blake has never accused cops of racism, but he was pissed about what he considers an excessive use of force.

The NYPD has launched an internal affairs investigation. We're told cops have video of the takedown.

No badge and assaulting people, the way of NYPD.

I saw 2 plain clothes do this to this to 2 high school students for jumping the turnstile yesterday. Cop rushed off the train pushed the kid back from entering the train and THEN pulled out his badge.

I saw this on the news earlier, he's in massive denial talking about i dont know if the attack was racially motivated but i am aware of the climate it was probably based on my race...

Wake up dumb nikka.... you know why they targeted you... keep it 100...

Just in case his nikka wake-up call never came. Ding Ding muthafukka.

fukk that c00n. And fukk that racist CAC pig. Laws tried to give him a wake up call and hes too stupid to even realize it

What makes you think he was asleep?

Blake needs to sue the f*ck out of them and donate the money to Furgerson or some Police Brutality charity. Sadly we kinda needed a poster boy like this. Harvard Graduated, Tennis Player at a high level. Yes he's mixed but he got huge N!gga Wake Up Call here. He really thought cause he made it to high white society he was good. Wrong Blake, you still a n!gga bro in the eyes of the system. New York Pricks and dikks showing their true colors. LOL @ Slamming him and tackling him. All they had to do is walk up and ask for ID. But all they saw as a "Threat". WTF, since when is cell phones theif a violent crime?, SMH. Excessive Force, Racial Profiling and Blacks are always being falsing excused. LOL @ the Daily News:

I would sue their asses but I bet he's too p*ssy to do it.

Y'all don't know or maybe don't remember this, but Blake has had his wake up call back in 2001 by a fellow tennis player, but gave him the "benefit of the doubt", when a linesmen was black and Hewitt was talking to the chair umpire and said "look at him (blake) and look at him (the linesmen), you tell me what they have in common". fukk it, here it is....

NYPD how shocking

For the so called, GOAT world class city...have the shyttiest fukking police force.

Over aggressive fukks to everyone...some fat british tourist got slammed because he questioned a cop who was yelling at him,for a violation the tourist didn't know of.

Over priced shythole,and Over aggressive cops...but it's GOAT,and you can eat food at 3am

 

[BlackSuperman]

Tackled...because they thought he was someone involved in a non-violent crime. I hope they get as much jail time as that identity theft guy would have.

 

[Unknown Poster]

cops suck.

 

[MrWestGrand]

Read the article and it seems like he's torn.

On one hand he's trying to downplay the racial angle, almost on some #newblack shyt.

On the other hand, the situation was so blatant that, as much as he tries, he can't just discount the elephant in the room.

NYPD doing their bullshyt again tho

This is a case when you try to run away from your blackness, but it still has a way of catching up to you. By the way, this is him and his wife...

 

[Samori Toure]

Oh lawdy. Not the good kneegrow.

Dude's White yellow headed wife is Blacker than he is.

 

[PointGuard]

When will we rise? Nothing in life changes until you say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

As we reported, Blake says he was slammed to the ground near his midtown hotel Wednesday, when he was on his way to the U.S. Open. Blake says 5 officers manhandled and cuffed him because they said he matched the description of a suspect in a credit card fraud scheme.

Right, but the way the cops acted was still wrong though.
