Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?!), and Wes Clark Jr. hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you think his race mattered? Was this an overreaction by the officer? Let us know in the comments below.

“Security footage released by the New York City Police Department on Friday shows a plainclothes cop slamming former tennis star James Blake to the ground as he casually stands outside his hotel.
Blake said he suffered cuts and bruises from the Wednesday incident, when detectives in Manhattan mistook him for a suspect in an identity theft ring. The video shows the officer, James Frascatore, accost Blake as he leans against a wall outside the Grand Hyatt in midtown. Frascatore can be seen slamming Blake to the ground to cuff him.”
