James Blake is pissed at the NYPD, and he probably should be. Even the NYPD police commissioner agrees.
The former world top-5 tennis player was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by members of the New York Police Department. Blake was erroneously believed to be a suspect in a credit-card fraud ring, and someone in the NYPD got quite too zealous about it, as many police officers are getting in this day and age.
The officer mainly responsible for the physical violence has not been fired, but simply reassigned to desk duty, probably because the NYPD's position is that Blake is a dead ringer for the suspect, who was apparently caught.
