Was Blake seriously injured? The police officer used his tactical advantage. You don't like it then go to the NYPD and change their training practices.
My concern about this behavior is injury to others. Blake could have had a bad back or other physical condition where that takedown would have seriously injured him. The fact that he wasn't seriously injured was by the Grace of God.
That is the thing, you did EXACTLY what the officer did. You did not think, you just spoke. Well, in this case, wrote out your thoughts without thinking deeper.
The issue is that there are many police that are good technically and by the book. They know every law in the book to the point where they can even write out police exams and sell them on Amazon like former Baltimore PD officer Michael Wood- aka the Fraud.
These guys are good at their jobs just like a an IT geek is great with computers. However, they lack customer service skills and social judgement. Social judgement doesn't come automatically. technical skills like mechanic work is entry level- you all learn all these same skills at the academy. What sets you apart is your social critical thinking and people skills. These skills also need to be enhanced- they don't' come naturally to everyone.
Also, the problem with many of you experts is that you don't realize that the same dude you see on your video you would call a hero if he came to save you from a home invasion. But you don't realize that their energy need to be guided because if not, you get what you did in that video. Police don't get this social critical guidance enough. Instead, it's fire them or put them on desk duty.
But this is way too much for you. You much rather HATE HATE HATE... You are no different than the police officer in that you lack social depth. Now that is deep... You can't break it down like I did, can you?
Um, what? I don't hate cops. I just want the bad ones to be held to the same standards as everyone else.
And, yes, they're held to a higher standard than an IT geek with poor customer service skills.

Exactly.
And it wasn't executed to perfection, as he used force when it wasn't necessary. Even if this suspect was guilty as sin the situation didn't call for that level of force. This meathead cop has done this before judging by his complaint history, and would have continued to do it for years if it hadn't been an athlete with an impeccable reputation this time around.
The cop is a goon and his fellow goons (including the knuckle dragging head of the PBA Lynch) will defend him no matter how obviously guilty he is of being a goon.
Looking at this James Blake incident is making me think of other incidents between police officers and Black male civilians. In the case of Michael Brown, I don't feel any sympathy for his fate.
On the other hand, I wonder about this alot.
-On the occasion that Black men resist arrest/being belligerent vs other groups resisting arrest/being belligerent, what are the rates of Black men ending up dead for it vs people in other groups?
My SIL is about Blake's age, has a bad back (genetic) and limited lung capacity due to chemo. If he had been taken down like that he would still be in the hospital.
