The video footage of Bucks guard Sterling Browns arrest is set to be released this week, and judging by how Milwaukee authorities are scrambling to do damage control, it sure seems like itll tell a very different story from the one police first told. Brown was arrested on Jan. 26 for resisting arrest after officers say they saw his car parked across a pair of handicap spots. Milwaukee cops claimed that Brown approached them threateningly as they were writing him a ticket, at which point they subdued him with a taser and booked him for resisting arrest. A few days later, however, police dropped the charges, began an internal review, and announced that theyd release body camera footage.

That footage is going to be released very soon, per the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, and reactions from those who have watched it make it sound like the Milwaukee PD overstepped their bounds and had no reasonable case to use a stun gun on Brown. Sources who spoke to the Journal-Sentinel all agree that Sterling was not at all combative or threatening when he was subdued. One said he was not provocative at all, and Mayor Tom Barrett said at a news conference Monday, Im going to let the release of that speak for itself, but yes, I definitely have concerns after watching that video. The city has begun showing it to local officials and community leaders in anticipation of its release this week.

Theres going to be a video that is going to come out soon, in the next couple of weeks, involving the department. And Im going to be honest with you: Were going to need your support during the challenges, Assistant Police Chief Michael Brunson said at a Milwaukee church on Sunday.


Being black in this country is legit dangerous. And people wonder why we talk to our children about the police early on in life

I'm interested in seeing the video as well. It seems they skipped a step somewhere if he was arrested for resisting arrest.

Oh wait, that's the same city where a Bucks player was locked out of a jewelry store because they assumed he was going to rob the place.

They should probably stop doing shit like this then. A good way to save money would be fire every officer involved.

Yikes. When you have an assistant police chief coming out prior basically saying "Uh people, so our department fucked up pretty bad and it's likely to cause a shit storm...." you already know this isn't going to end well.

Assuming everything is racist and teaching your kids to always play victim and everything is racist is legit dangerous.

Could this be a severe fuck up by Police?
Yes. Doesnt make it racist.

Even when the police use non-lethal means to subdue someone the left still throws a fit. We can pretty much confirm that at this point, the left won't be happy unless the police just stand there andow themselves to be attacked or shot. Though this should have been obvious given how blatant their anti-police attitudes have been, particularly after they were emboldened by Obama's hatred for the police.

Being that you're black, there is a very good chance that they will consider you more aggressive and as such, be more hostile. You have to demonstrate an extra level of respect and subservience because there is a higher chance of getting fucked up if you dont. You're not going to be afforded the same leeway to say what you want during police interactions as a white person. Your safety is paramount.
