What if? What if? lol I bet this cop has a ton of arrests. I bet he has more arrests than 99% of the job with his time on. So complaints and lawsuits come with the territory doing what he does. Lastly if he was a problem his supervisors would not risk their plain clothes details by keeping him around!!!
There is resisting arrest and then in most jurisdictions there is resisting arrest with violence. So, if you decide to MMA some plains clothed cop who doesn't identify themselves or have their shield on display guess what...
By the way, the picture of "Blakes" erstwhile doppelgänger shown by Bratton to exonerate his department, he wasn't involved either. Apparently the picture was pulled off the internet allegedly by the company that made the complaint.

I said it before, the guy has 4 years on the job and 150 arrests and has handed out god knows how many summonses; probably 1000s. He's plainclothes which means he's probably Anti-Crime and deals with Felony arrests.
The fact that he has 5 complaints (4 of which are unsubstantiated and 1 of which for not properly identifying himself) and two unsettled lawsuits speaks to his credit IMO.
The cop apparently has a history. He'll be off the force and then become a paid police consultant, kind of like the military does. Although, the suspect and Blake do look very similar. Wrong place, wrong time and wrong tactics.
No he won't.
Guaranteed he stays and has his gun and badge by Octoberish.

So, would you approach a "suspect" like that?
Especially, one suspected of a non-violent crime?
Just take him to the ground without saying a single word?
Doesn't sound like good police practice to me.
BTW, I'm pro-police, but I wouldn't wanna be treated like that.
I like Jame Blake; I'm sure glad he didn't try to defend himself.
I agree with everyone. This has to stop. Blake should sue the NYPD for sure. The officer should be fired, NOT modified duty?, that is pure BS.
We hear about this crap all the time.
When is it going to stop?,
is it going to stop?
will it ever stop?
either way, it is unacceptable for the NYPD to do this.
Then they wonder why we have zero respect for police officers???????
OK, lets see what Bratton will do about this.
but, but, but, they're having an "internal investigation"! Are you suggesting the police can't be trusted to police themselves??? Are you suggesting there should actually be an objective, unbiased, external investigation???
If this wasn't James Blake a public figure would we even be having this discussion? Or would it just be whitewashed and swept under the rug as usual? Why was that thug cop with a history of violence against people who pay his salary (that would be the residents of NYC) still on the force??? For once I hope Blake does NOT take the high road and sues the carp out of the NYPD gangsters.

The cop is indemnified. It costs him nothing. As far as the above poster wrote there were plenty of times I disagreed with police training. I know of a person who is a black belt in BJJ who is an instructor at the Academy and he is over ruled by a Sgt who knows 1/10 of what he knows!!! Lastly James Blake got taken down in a controlled manner. He wasn't body slammed like the media would like to make it out to be!!

Typical cop out, white wash, cop apologist. Everything's justified, everything's excusable if it's a cop. NYPD gangsters need to understand they're NOT above the law, they need to be held accountable for their actions by the citizens who pay their salary. They work for US; we don't work for them. They cannot be allowed to brutalize, kill and assault whenever they feel like it because they know the brass will cover up for them. That's exactly what's happening today and exactly why the NYPD needs to be fumigated from top to bottom. What a pity our "liberal" mayor doesn't have the ba!!s to stand up to them.

Yeah, but why? Without so much as "hello?"
