Shouldn't have looked like a thug and he would have been fine.

It's not the fact they detained him, it's the fact they felt the need to rush and tackle someone who clearly wasn't trying to run away or evade them.

Sometimes in the FD and PD they tend to overkill.

Maybe we need college graduates to fill these jobs. LOL
I'm being facetious.

He was thrown to the ground for no reason. The officer that did this should lose his job. This makes 3 times he has been involved in this type of incident. Blake is pressing this issue and I hope he can bring some reason to the issue. If you are not resisting arrest?...there is NO reason to be subjected to such treatment. Hell...the fcking cop didn't even make an ID of the subject.

He was (mistakenly) identified as having participated in an illegal transaction connected to a sting operation on cell phones purchased with fraudulent credit cards.

He was American #1 and World #4. That's a pro.
