[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if Blake was targeted based on his race and I don't know if cop was racist. I do know the cop was over aggressive given the situation. Even if the Blake was the actual perpetrator the way the cop went about it was unnecessary and borderline reckless. I don't think the issue has to be race dominated to see the wrong here. Maybe you police brutality cop defenders can try to see it from this perspective.[/quote]

I have posted numerous challenges here and couldn't leave for the evening without telling you that I appreciate your comments![/quote]

I do too.  Blake is one of the nicest guys on the tennis circuit.  This officer was totally out of line.  Was he targeting someone because of race?  Possibly - but likely because he received a report about a black male.  
That does not justify how Blake was tackled and treated. 
I don’t know the details of the case, and I question if it was a race-targeted incident, but it is clearly a case of a police officer becoming too physical with a “suspect.”
I am a strong defenders of police officers, but when you see something like this, it tarnishes the reputations of all police officers.
Totally unnecessary.  [/quote]
