None of this is right. Famous athlete or accountant or janitor.

Just love how the media ratchets up an already terrible, stupid, unacceptable situation with their exaggerations.
Obviously not that much. Blake at one time was ranked no 1 in the US and no 4 in the world. But as your pointed out that is besides the point.

Cops made a mistake, apologized for it. Black tennis "star" seeks media attention due to it. Even, as in this case, if it is only tabloid media. Others with agenda latch on to it like it's important because this is the level they operate at.

Nothing more too it than that.

they didnt apologize. you are making things up. you are trying to minimize and downplay what happened and attacking blake for calling out the white cops which they deserve.

Oh, so now you change the premise?

Apparently the witness identified Blake incorrectly and they moved in to tackle him.

Litigation, anyone? But how does race factor in here when the guy looks white? Even if he is black, race still isn't a factor.
Bad police work isn't racism. Neither is good police work.

you really think this wouldve happened to andy roddick?

blake is well known in nyc.

again, more minimizing the situation to try to get the white cops off the hook.
