Mistaken identity isn't the issue.
Excessive use of force is the issue.[/quote]

OP made it about race[/quote]

Actually, I think the officer made it about race. He doesn't have any complaints against him for excessive force when apprehending white people. Only black people.[/quote]

Data on that, please...[/quote]

I can't link right now because every time I go back here from another window with the link, I lose my entire post and have to start over. This is all easily available on CNN.com and nydailynews.com.

James Blake is black. The NYT article linked above reports that Warren Diggs and Leroy Cline are both black. CNN reported thusly regarding the third lawsuit:

"Frascatore was named in a third lawsuit that alleges he and other officers and sergeants abused and unlawfully arrested a man in a deli in Queens in May 2013. The suit claims that the officers assaulted the man while calling him a racial epithet."

Leaving aside that I sincerely doubt that "racial epithet" was "cracker" or "whitey," that man's name is Stefon Luckey, and the video of Frascatore pepper-spraying him in the deli is on YouTube. He is black.

That leaves the fourth lawsuit by Samuel Pringle. He was beaten up in 2013 in Queens by Frascatore and five other officers after an arrest without a warrant. I'm SURE that HE'S white, though.  :roll: [/quote]
