    Certainly but 5 over a few months seems like this cop was taking something out on people. I will side with the police when I think the police weren't in the wrong, but something smells really fishy about this guy, especially if Blake was just standing at the hotel and this cop gets physical with him. I have seen good cops handle amped up people without the need for a beat down even when the person was probably all but asking for one. I don't rule out that part of the problem is that we just are not funding enough officers to where they are not constantly pressured to use physical force to control situations even before they need controlled to clear a call. Either way in this case, it seems like the officer went off the reservation.

    So because he is a Tennis player the cop should of just gone ok and walked away? Again you think someone famous cant be a criminal?

    So white and black = racism to you... Careful when you use "typical" and "behavior" when describing a race it sounds well racist ;)

    Protesting innocence is nothing new, especially by those who DID commit a crime.
    They didn't jump on him because there was nothing better to do. He was ID'd, albeit incorrectly, and police took appropriate action.

    If it were a dangerous criminal that they arrested, how would you prefer it to do down? He protests innocence and they let him go? They are extremely nice to him? Consistent action is good IMO.

    Police mistreated Blake because he was black and New York police are racist.

    Don't pull that trigger. I will comply with your demands.

    It's assault and false arrest. Police do not have the right to assault people they arrest. Furthermore, it is brutality. The victim was physically injured.

    De Blasio is tired of covering for racist goon police and embarrassed and angry for having to hand out millions compensation to victims of police brutality.

    Those are completely independent events. African-American brutality at the hands of cops is unrelated to gang-on-gang violence. This argument is the equivalent of saying "But ISIS is killing thousands of innocent people" in regards to a topic about starvation in 3rd world African countries.

    Strawman much ?

    The "outrage" of liberals over this incident goes precisely to the larger argument about black on black crime. Liberals, as evidenced by the BLM movement, want to blame the cops for their plight. The rest of the sane world sees opinions such as yours for the folly that they are. If I may quote Richard Sherman, the Seahawks player, from another thread:

    James Blake is not the one whining this nonsense on behalf of the black community. It is liberals, such as yourself, and others in this thread. You can't handle the truth.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*). He's just buying votes. Like all liberal politicians. He must maintain the victim-hood theme in the black community.

    Correct, your argument is exactly that -- a strawman. In essence, you're dismissing this case of blatant police brutality by trying to overshadow it with a serious, unrelated matter.

    Good luck with the continuing BLM meme. The majority of Americans overwhelmingly reject it. And the black community is only becoming even more dysfunctional as it tries to ride that nonsense.

    Black-on-black homicides on the rise all over. Well done.

    African-American police brutality tied to black-on-black homicides: association fallacy. Good luck with continuing to rationalize your irrational arguments.

    Well, over 60% of the black community agrees with me. And 90% of the white community.

    Between BLM and support for illegal immigration, liberals are set for another ass-kicking in the upcoming election.

    Your claim was that the officer admitted he committed brutality.
    This was a lie.
    You are the ONLY person claiming brutality, and you are not involved, at all.
    The unnamed police officer has not said anything at all to the public... he is unknown.

    Telling lies does not help your profoundly stupid cause.

    You are wrong again. What I posted was "police' admitted brutality or something like that.

    You can pull the trigger now.

    What you said was:
    Has being singular and have being plural, as helping verbs go... police typically being plural... all I could derive from your attempt at English was that you were suggesting that the policemen involved had confessed to brutality, which they did not. Nor did the police department. Nor did the mayor. They mayor simply apologized for the unfortunate incident of mistaken identity. To suggest otherwise is false, by all accounts. It is a lie. You have told a lie, and are sticking to it.

    "Police" did not "confess" to brutality.
