Apparently, he was questioning a parking violation he received while in a Walgreen's parking lot at 2 a.m. and the officers on the scene hit him with a stun gun. It was captured via body-cam, and sources who've seen the video say he wasn't being argumentative at all. Brown has announced he's suing the Milwaukee Police Department, and now the Mayor is involved.

Just another day in the U.S., I guess.

Sounds like ole boy is pre-empting 'his people' for the unrest following the individuals involved in this incident not being charged

Charge 'em...otherwise, we know how this goes.

-The cop whose camera this is is every shitty cop in Milwaukee. I don't know this guy, but he's got an older brother in Sheboygan he doesn't really see that has two ex-wives who keeps trying to get his "business" off the ground (that nobody seems to actually know what it does) and a younger brother who lives in Cudahy and beats his wife and has a drinking problem (their whole family has a drinking problem, but he's the one THEY all talk about) so he's considered "successful." He frequently brags about the time he touched Scott Walker's arm at a campaign event in 2010 and only drinks Point Special (if you thought I was going to say High Life, he thinks that's for black people, so he would never.) Again, I don't know who he is, but I'm 99.99% sure all of this is true.

-The parking violation is parking across two handicap spaces

-"I own this" comes out of the cop's mouth in the first two minutes.

-Like 5 more cop cars show up for what is, again, a car parked across two handicap spots. The original cop keeps going "I only called for one," but honestly it's hilarious how they just keep pulling up.

-Tazing happens around 8 minutes in. You don't see much, but you hear it.

-Hard to pick up on a lot of what they were talking about before, but nothing about it looked like anything was about to pop off. Until a cop yells to get his hands out of his pocket. The short cop is basically looking to grab him by that point.

-The right wing talking point out of this is going to be how "disrespectful Brown's tone was." He's not doing the whole "yes sir/no sir" and at one point (accurately!) tells the cop he doesn't own him, so the same people who desperately want to spank David Hogg are going to turn their focus to spanking Sterling Brown now.

In conclusion, fuck Milwaukee Police forever.

how you gonna get mad at a guy for blocking a parking space then proceed to block said parking space with fiftyleven cop cars for well over half an hour.

I'm almost as insulted by the stupidity of these police as i am their racism.

Like half the precinct is out there for a PARKING VIOLATION. Those spots would've been open ten minutes ago if you would have just wrote a ticket and not called everyone you know.

Even when the extra ones left, there were still like 5 cops more than any reasonable person would think should be there.

Probably took up all the other spots in the parking lot and a handicapped person had to park a football field away.

Also this is presumably the Walgreen's parking lot, right? Shouldn't they be calling a tow truck or something? Why are the police involved at all?

all of this space, and you gotta park here

On some back of the bus like he's Rosa Parks

If there's nobody there, the fuck is the problem

I watched til the audio went out

Peep around the 15min mark where he's putting his story together

'same as last time'

that's the one for me

we'll run the same story that we used last time.

Shouts out to the lady that tried to stick around as a conscientious observer

we need to be those people

That yell...'get your hands out of your pocket'...that's the dogwhistle

Homie is LUCKY to be alive

They saw a black man in a Benz and decided he was dirty

They were salivating at the opportunity to get in that car

which is clearly marked 'courtesy vehicle'...LOL, dope boys don't do dirt in courtesy vehicles...they think he got a drop box installed that afternoon or something...SMH

Nothing is going to come of this

They'll make a statement that the bodycams are working

We're investigating

Officers will be disciplined

...and everybody gets to keep their fucking job.

Can't imagine the restraint it must take to not completely lose your shit being put into that ridiculous situation...absolutely swarmed by police for a parking violation.

Like someone said above, they saw a young black guy at 2 am with a really nice vehicle and were praying he was a dealer.

to hand my man a citation? Give dude a ticket and move on.

=======================================

Yes, legally he can give him a ticket for that but given that it was 2 AM, the lot was empty, and he apparantly just quickly ran into the store for a minute....even giving him a ticket is being a dick.

The cop flat out instigated that whole thing because he didn’t like Brown’s attitude and wanted to “put him in his place” and seemingly because he wanted to get in that car. Pathetic.

Imagine that has to be incredibly hard to keep your composure when you’re suddenly surrounded by cops over a simple parking violation. Ridiculous.

to your last point about the frustration he had to feel with a whole attack squad called up for a fucking parking violation...I didn't watch the video, but watching Get Up this morning...Michelle Beadle said people in the comments were saying shit like "well, why didn't he just keep his hands out?" and other such bullshit. Why the fuck is this evening happening in the first place???? Why does he have to become subservient in a situation that only required at worst, a citation and a have a good night?

for the cops to take you down and arrest you. It's like we're not even watching the same videos as the other side. Really I think they know better but are just some "don't challenge the status quo" types and will find any way to not give the issue more thought. Would they react the same if it was a friend or family member? Absolutely not.

Write the ticket

Put it on the windshield

K.I.M.

He waited for Brown, in order to confront him

That's the issue

Never had a cop hand deliver a parking ticket

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

past a couple minutes.

But a cop who's just there to check it out and maybe write a ticket doesn't do the "I own this" and "you think you're a bad ass" routine to begin with.

when he's in Milwaukee!" (c) Officer Eric Andrade

Sue they asses

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23841260/bucks-sterling-brown-sues-milwaukee-stun-gun-arrest

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the city of Milwaukee and its police department, claiming unlawful arrest and excessive force when officers used a stun gun on him during his arrest for a parking violation.

Brown's attorney Mark Thomsen filed the lawsuit in federal court.

Brown had been talking with officers while waiting for a citation for illegally parking in a disabled spot outside a Walgreens on Jan. 26 when officers took him down because he didn't immediately remove his hands from his pockets as ordered.

Police Chief Alfonso Morales apologized to Brown last month when body-camera video of the arrest was released. Brown wasn't charged with anything and three officers were disciplined, with suspensions ranging from two to 15 days.

Eight other officers were ordered to undergo remedial training in professional communications.

Video of the confrontation shows an officer approached Brown around 2 a.m. When their conversation becomes tense, the officer calls more squad cars for help, and eventually eight officers stand around Brown. One asks him to take his hands out of his pockets, and a second or two later the scuffle begins. Almost immediately, an officer yells: "Taser! Taser! Taser!"

According to the lawsuit, Officer Eric Andrade later took to Twitter to mock Brown, saying, "Nice meeting Sterling Brown of the Milwaukee Bucks at work this morning! Lol #FearTheDeer

Also, after JR Smith's blunder at the end of regulation in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Andrade made reference to the incident with Brown when he tweeted about Smith. Andrade tweeted: "I hope JR Smith double parks in Walgreens handicap Parkin spot when he's in Milwaukee!"

"Defendant Andrade's post is an admission that he and other Defendant officers are allowed to engage in unlawful attacks of African Americans without justification and then relish such events without any fear of real discipline," the lawsuit states.

Police released the body-camera video of only the first officer who contacted Brown. But additional body-camera and squad-car videos, obtained by WISN-TV, showed the moments after officers used a stun gun on Brown. In one, Brown is on the ground and handcuffed when an officer puts one of his boots on Brown's ankle, holding it there. Brown doesn't mention being in any discomfort, but he questions the officer's actions.

"C'mon, man, you're stepping on my ankle for what?" Brown said. In response, the officer said he was trying to prevent Brown from kicking anyone.


Other videos obtained by WISN-TV showed an officer talking with two colleagues seated in a squad car. They talked about how they could be perceived as racist for arresting a black Bucks player, with one saying that if anything goes wrong, it "is going to be, 'Ooh, the Milwaukee Police Department is all racist, blah, blah, blah.'"

Brown told the Journal Sentinel in an interview last month that he "gave in" when police used a stun gun and that he didn't do anything to resist because he didn't want officers to "pull out their guns."

"I was just being smart. I just wanted to get out of the situation and get home," he said.
