Milwaukee mayor expresses concerns about actions of Milwaukee police in tasing Sterling Brown

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett expressed concerns Monday about the actions of Milwaukee police in the arrest and tasing of Bucks rookie Sterling Brown.

Per ESPN, "I'm going to let the release of that speak for itself, but yes, I definitely have concerns after watching that video," Barrett told reporters Monday.

Barrett said Police Chief Alfonso Morales had a similar reaction to the video, which could be made public as soon as Wednesday.

Police officers used a stun gun on Brown and arrested the then-22-year-old guard during questioning over a parking violation in a Walgreens parking lot at about 2 a.m. on Jan 26. Sources who have seen the body-camera footage told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Brown was not at all combative prior to officers using the Taser.

 

The officers involved in the incident are the subject of an internal investigation. Brown was not charged after his arrest for resisting or obstructing an officer.
