James Blake arrest video released

James Blake arrest

Video of James Blake being handcuffed and taken down by a police officer on Wednesday in New York City has been released.

The former tennis star has said all along that he does not want an apology from the NYPD over the incident, but he wants a change regarding the unnecessary force he believes was used in the matter.

Blake was arrested as part of an attempt to capture some people who had purchased cellphones using fraudulent credit cards. He appeared to resemble the wanted man, though as he complained, the force seemed excessive as he was not resisting.

The undercover officer who used the force in the arrest has been placed on desk duty. He is the defendant in two other lawsuits alleging he used excessive force.

Side note: Isn’t it crazy how many people just casually walked by without really thinking anything of what they saw?
