I'm sure the apology is a preemptive ploy to avoid a lawsuit.

The New York Police Department commissioner apologized on Thursday for the mistaken arrest of James Blake, a retired top-10 professional tennis player, who said he was slammed to the ground outside his hotel in Midtown Manhattan after being confused for a suspect in a credit card fraud investigation.

The commissioner, William J. Bratton, said he had been trying to contact Mr. Blake, who is biracial, “to extend my apologies for the incident which he found himself involved in yesterday.”

The undercover detective who detained Mr. Blake has been stripped of his gun and badge and placed on desk duty, a tacit acknowledgment that video of the arrest raised serious questions about his actions.

Blake has always been a good guy and not one to try to bring attention towards himself especially in situations like this - see the Hewitt incident. He also never brought up the biracial thing, it is just known that his Dad is black and Mom is white because he is famous.

By the way, Blake's wife is white and very good looking.

I think his dad would be black and his mom would be white whether he was famous or not
