The Milwaukee Police Department has apologized to NBA player Sterling Brown, after a newly released police body cam video showed Brown’s violent arrest on January 26. Brown is African-American and a 22-year-old rookie player on the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team. The body cam footage confirms Brown was not “combative”—as police initially claimed—in a dispute over a parking violation, before a group of officers tackled him to the ground and electrocuted him with a Taser. Brown was then arrested, but charges were later dropped. Brown has since said he plans to file a lawsuit, writing in a statement, “What should have been a simple parking ticket turned into an attempt at police intimidation, followed by unlawful use of physical force, including being handcuffed and tased and then unlawfully booked. … This experience with the Milwaukee Police Department has forced me to stand up and tell my story so that I can help prevent these injustices from happening in the future.”
