Milwaukee police on Wednesday released video of a Jan. 26 arrest and tasing of NBA player Sterling Brown, who said in a statement "situations like mine and worse happen every day in the black community." Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales apologized Wednesday for how his department handled the situation and said the officers involved had been disciplined.
Brown was arrested at about 2 a.m. in a Walgreens parking lot by officers who used a stun gun. Officers had been checking on a vehicle parked across two handicap spaces. Brown was not charged.
Officers initially claimed Brown threatened them while they were writing him a ticket. At no point in the video does Brown appear to be threatening or violent to the officers before he was tased and arrested.

The abuse and intimidation that Sterling experienced at the hands of Milwaukee Police was shameful and inexcusable. Sterling has our full support as he shares his story and takes action to provide accountability. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated case. It shouldn’t require an incident involving a professional athlete to draw attention to the fact that vulnerable people in our communities have experienced similar, and even worse, treatment. We are grateful for the service of many good police officers that courageously protect us, our fans and our city, but racial biases and abuses of power must not be ignored. There needs to be more accountability. The Milwaukee Police Department and local officials have acknowledged the challenges they are working to address, and we urge them to enact higher standards and more direct accountability. We all want to be able to trust each and every officer serving to protect us. Incidents like this remind us of the injustices that persist. As an organization, we will support Sterling and build on our work with local leaders and organizations to foster safe neighborhoods and better our community.

At least he didn't get run over by a jeep so he has that going for him.

What kind of arsehole parks sideways across 2 handicap spots when the entire parking lot is open? Maybe some professional athlete arsehole who thinks he is better than everyone else
I don’t feel sorry for that arsehole. I think the cops over reacted but the first thing the cop said when all the cars pulled up was “I only asked for one car to come”.

Dude this was bullshite and most know it. No reason to act like a fool.

Most here, but not all, will see whatever fits their agenda or bias.
Sure, Sterling Brown wasn’t parked correctly. Some would say it warranted the officer’s actions in calling for backup, and not allowing him to move the vehicle. Others might say, the officer already had the plates, and if he was concerned about the vehicle not obstructing the pathway of a relatively empty parking lot, he could’ve told the guy to move it while he writes him a ticket.
Regardless, my questions are based on whether the escalation following take your hands out of your pockets” and subsequent arrest was a means to trigger a search of the inside of the vehicle. Prior to the arrest, the police were looking inside the vehicle for items in plain sight through the windows. Prior to the handcuffs and taser, at points it appeared to me he put his hands in his pockets numerous times, with no incident. With the circumstances considered, I don’t believe the officers believed that he was a threat.

Go check out the Scorlandville thread and you’ll see why cops act different toward culchaed individuals

Am I supposed to be outraged at this video?

*Brown puts his hands in his pockets*
Cop: "PULL YOUR HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKET NOW!"
Brown: "Hold on! I have something in my hand!"
