Yeah the cop fricked up by arresting the wrong guy, but that sure in the hell was not excessive force.

If I "roughed" up somebody and in this job it happens I guarantee you I had a good reason. Protection of myself or my guys.

I also understand that dishonest people find it hard to believe that people can do a job honestly. I feel bad for those people

The witness ID'd Blake as the suspect. The officer had reasonable suspicion to detain him.

Do they teach you how to fight? I don't mean bullshite joint manipulation but do they teach you basic skills like how to stop a low single or how to defend off your back? The guy in the video did all kinds of things wrong. If that tennis player knew anything at all he would have been on that cop like stink on shite and there wouldn't have been a damn thing the cop could have done about it.


Most departments do not teach this enough honestly. The academy touches on it, but a lot of police officers are terrible at hands on. If someone has any type of training then they can not only whip most people but most cops. Some officers are very good fighters, some are just tough.

Since the video had no audio, how do you know the cop didn't identify himself as he was taking Blake down and Blake just didn't hear it?

He should be fired... I'd be a little more lenient if it wasn't for the officer having a reputation of using excessive force. Also, the fact that he didn't show any remorse after he realized his screw up.

The witness ID'd him wrongly. Not the officers fault

Would still like more info. It just makes little sense. It's not like the guy was already running from them. How does an eyewitness I'd a credit fraud suspect in person?


It doesn't add up, to me....

blake was cool.

he didn't resist at all.. not sure how you can remain that calm being tackled out of no where with no reason.

he said he was telling the guy he would cooperate 100% but he didn't know what was going on immediately.. while on the ground.

y had a ID, although a bad one from a witness, and had enough reasonable suspicion to detain him.


They held the dude for over 15 minutes before even asking for Blake's id

I can guarantee if a cop fricking tackled you out of nowhere in front of the Biltmore because you "looked just like" some guy you'd think it was a big fricking deal. This k about that for a minute. No questions. Just a fricking tackle while your talking on your phone.

I have detained people many times where it turned out they were not the suspect but I had reasonable suspicion at the time. Whenever I got through with the investigation and it was determined that they were not the right suspects I would explain why I did what I did and then I would apologize for detaining them. I was right in my actions, but it didn't hurt to explain after the fact to them and to give to tell them, I'm sorry I had to do this. To me it doesn't take much effort and it kept them from filing complaints on me. If these officers had done this we probably would have never even heard of this incident.


shite happens. How many of those times did you start off by tackling them?

Would the officers have even contacted Blake if the witness hadn't pointed him out and said that's him?

I can remember one time for sure, I knew the suspect very well. I had fought him in the past and how also had to chase him. I jumped him out on him and we tackled him pretty quickly. We were plain clothes, but we had jackets on with POLICE all over it. The suspect also knew me and as soon as I jumped out he knew what was up.

It appears to me that Blake attempts to resist arrest by shoving or possibly trying to disarm
if some bald headed white dude rushes you with no badge or identifying marks of a cop, what exactly would you do?
