Bad Boys II

[GMDino]

I have a boss that lives in another state.  He calls multiple times a day.  He also sells so that's one reason.  The other is he is convinced he is the only person (short of Jesus) that has never made a mistake so he has to catch other people's mistakes.

He'll ask question after question until he gets to one that isn't the exact right answer.

Seems like these officers were intent on doing something until they had a good enough reason to say he "resisted".  To the point that they lied on the report.

Quote:New police video shows Milwaukee Bucks player [b]Sterling Brown[/b] being tased by aggressive cops during a ridiculous confrontation stemming from a parking violation. 


It all went down around 2 AM on January 26 in Milwaukee when cops responded to a report of a car parked across 2 handicap spaces in an empty Walgreen's parking lot. 


The cop on scene aggressively confronts Brown and begins to question him about the parking job. 


Brown remains calm throughout the ordeal -- but the police officer continues to escalate the situation ... seemingly unnecessarily ... until several more cops arrive. 


At one point, the cops order Brown to take his hands out of his pockets but Brown responds, "I got stuff in my hands."


At that point, cops swarm Brown from all sides and wrestle him to the ground. 


A few seconds later, you hear an officer yell for the taser and Brown gets shocked. 


You can hear Brown moaning in pain. 


Sterling has said he did NOTHING to warrant cops [b]using the taser[/b] and claimed the video would exonerate him. 


Brown has issued a statement saying, "My experience in January with the Milwaukee Police Department was wrong and shouldn’t happen to anybody."


"What should have been a simple parking ticket turned into an attempt at police intimidation, followed by the 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."



The mayor of Milwaukee, Tom Barrett, said he was concerned that there could be a public backlash over the incident.

 
(The video linked to the story picks up right before he is tased.  About 8 minutes in.)

I know, I know...stand there surrounded by police because it takes 5 or 6 to write a parking ticket...and never EVER speak back even in the calmest voice or "you asked for it".

btw, here's the report:

http://www.wisn.com/article/arrest-report-brown-physically-resisted-officers-attempts-to-handcuff-him/16752938

Quote:The officer wrote in his report that a man, later identified as Bucks rookie Sterling Brown, came out of the store and stood "within arm's reach" of the officer.


The officer said he asked Brown to "repeatedly (to) step back, which he refused" to do.

He said Brown "became very aggressive," and so the officer called for backup.

When another officer arrived, they attempted to interview Brown.

The officer said that's when "Brown physically resisted officers attempts to handcuff him and he was taken to the ground in a controlled manner."

The officer said Brown continued to "resist being handcuffed" and "a Taser had to be employed to get Brown in control with handcuffs."

Police Chief Ed Flynn said the officer's use of force is now being investigated by the department.

"We wouldn't be conducting an investigation into this if we were 100 percent satisfied with our application of our tactics in this matter," Flynn said. "And as I say, what we want to do is ascertain how a parking ticket turned into a tasing, and so that's what we're going to do."

Police took Brown to the hospital to get checked out before booking him in the Milwaukee County Jail, where he spent a few hours and was released.

Brown received a $200 parking ticket. The officer wanted him charged with obstructing an officer, but after reviewing this report and bodycam video, police decided not to refer Brown for criminal charges.

Quote:The Milwaukee Police Department released on Wednesday highly anticipated body camerafootage of one of its officers using a Taser to subdue Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown in a Walgreens parking lot earlier this year and said it determined members of its force acted “inappropriately.”


Police Chief Alfonso Morales said officers “were recently disciplined,” without providing details.
