7:33 am
i was standing there just waiting and i saw someone coming from the street running directly at me and as naive as i am i thought it was maybe i didn't recognize a high school friend to mess with me and give ee a bear hug and turned out quickly that is wasn't. he picked me up and body slammed me and put me on the ground and told me to turn over and shut my mouth and put the cuffs on me and i told him the first words out of my mouth were i'm going to 100% cooperate. i don't want any incident, just out of reaction from what i've seen in the media i don't want any miscommunication. >> you were communicating this with him as you were -- >> those are the first words out of my mouth. >> i'll cooperate. i don't know what happened but i will cooperate with you and he put the cuffs on me. at no time did he let me know he was a police officer. he put the cuffs on me and said stand up and i asked what was going on he said we'll tell you soon. that was it. >> so you didn't resist at all. >> no. >> you were -- >> no, i feel lucky i didn't.
7:34 am
because i'm happy that my reaction was i was smiling at the person because i could see how if i put my airports up or did anything it could be a sign of showing some sort of resistance and instead of having a little bruise on my leg i might have broken bone organization actual injuries because it didn't seem like he was slowing down and he was going to continue that tackle. >> plainclothes police officer. >> t-shirt and shorts. >> he never identified himself. >> didn't have a badge in any way showing, not around his neck, not on his belt, anything. the police officers that walked up later i saw a couple badges on bells but none were really displayed and no one identified themselves. i did didn't get one name out of anyone. >> and when -- how long were you held like that? what were you talking to them and telling them and asking them? >> i was held for about 15 minutes and about five or ten minutes in i admitted i said, look, officer i'm scared. so if i say something wrong i'm sorry but i want to know what's going on. i think you have the wrong
7:35 am
person and i had my credential for the u.s. open in my back pocket. i said, please, check that. you can tell i'm a former player. it's the final eight badge. it means i did well at the u.s. open. i'd hike to clear my name and just -- i told him that and he wasn't having it. he said we'll see. we're running your license. you're running my license? the worst you'll find is a speeding ticket. that's the most trouble i've been in. >> you never been in trouble and as we said you were reluctant to come forward. you just wanted to put this behind you. why did you change your mind? >> well, it was -- immediately after it happened i was just -- i didn't want to talk to anyone about it. i was so shaken up i just didn't want to hear anything or talk to anyone and i immediately talked to my wife. she was the first i talked to and she said, you know, what if this happened to me? and immediately i was fuhr use because i thought about what i would be thinking if someone did that to my wife. if someone tackled her in broad daylight paraded her around in a busy crowded sidewalk in new york city with handcuffs with her cuffed behind her back and
7:36 am
taking away her dignity and i just i couldn't accept that and i know that a lot of people have no voice to have any recourse and i'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to be sitting here with you to be able to tell this story and let meme know this happens too often and most times it's not to someone like me but someone that has no way -- >> no resources to get their story out like this and you really believe this was a case of excessive force. you're not making about racial profiling. you feel it was use of excessive force. >> yeah, and i probably wouldn't even be so clear, be so indignance if it wasn't so obvious. it was so blatant. i was standing there doing nothing, not running, not resisting, in fact, smiling. if the video ever does come to the media, you can see that i'm smiling. and just minutes earlier a reporter happened to be walking by and recognized me and asked a few questions. the police officer could have easily asked and said can i see
7:37 am
your license. >> have the police reached out to you since? they say they've been trying to contact you. >> no, i haven't heard anything but i mean i'd be surprised if they were making that concerted of an effort since i've been contacted by a lot of media sources who found my number. >> what do you want from them. >> i'd like an apology. an explanation for how they conducted themselves because i think we all need to be held account football or our actions and police as well. they're out there going a very difficult job and i seen said thaturing the 15 minutes, i know you're doing a tough job and i respect that, i appreciate everything you do to keep us safe but i think you have the wrong person here and they didn't want to hear it. didn't want to listen to that and i do think most cops are doing a great job of keeping us safe but when you police with reckless abandon you need to be held accountable and i think i'm hopefully going to let people know that some of them need to be held accountable and these that are doing police work the wrong way need to pay for those actions and be shown either the
7:38 am
door or whatever retribution -- whatever they need to do to punish them. >> right, as we said the vast majority do it the right way. it's those that don't that we need to put that to an end. hey, james, thank you very much. again for coming out here. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> all the best to you. > thank you. >> george, what a story he told. coming up here "gma on the lookout." a plane catching fire on the runway. passengers rushing to escape. abc's nick watt goes to the experts to find out what you should do in an emergency.
