NYPD, again!

NYPD Officer Placed on Modified Duty in James Blake Case

James Blake is a well respected black retired tennis star from the US visiting New York City for the US Open tournament. He is misidentified by a witness and subsequently manhandled and arrested outside his hotel as he was awaiting his ride..

Fortunately a retired NYPD cop identified him and he was soon released. Kudos to Commissioner Bratton in being proactive and strip the offending officer of his badge and gun, and ask their IA to open an investigation.

James Blake identified himself and offered to cooperate, yet the cops proceeded to manhandle him, throw him to the curb. This one is going to sting internationally since tennis is a worldwide sport.
