"Sir, do you realize how black you were going"? - Police Officer
Cary Dodd no charges laid over incident.... They're still trying to write the "parking while black" statute into law....
Holy shit dude, you made me spit out my coffee
In between Wesley Snipes and Bernie Mac?
Lmbo!!
Wikkitt Klown #metoo
Suspension=paid vacation off
X Wu he needs to just shut up and comply. Not a smart move.
Compton 187 Then they would have taken him to Burger King. Problem solved.
I agree. The player from the Bucks should be suspended. Good call.
The cop seemed jealous, frankly, like he wanted to escalate the parking violation from the start. Why call for backup rather than issue the parking ticket? Why the sudden concern for his hands after 10 minutes? And his hands were visible several times while turning off his car alarm.
The first cop that approached him is blatantly lying. When he told Sterling Brown to step back, he took a small step back, and wasn't being threatening. When the cop called for back-up and all those cop cars came pulling into Walgreen's (OH GOD SOMEONE IS ILLEGALLY PARKED!) the cop that called in for back up walked up to one of the cars, embarrassed that so many cars showed up and said, "I only wanted one back-up........yeah, I told him to back up and he didn't, he got all up in my face." What a POS liar! That's what elevated this, that cop's lying. He needs to be fired. He's clearly an instigator. ALL of those cops at that scene escalated that situation. They WANTED something to happen. They could have told him, "You're parked illegally, here's a ticket, don't do this again, please leave the premises. Goodbye." and gotten back into their cars. and waited for him to leave the property peacefully. What did they do instead? Circled around him and started their shit. Tasers need to be outlawed. That's bull**** that they tased him. Sterling Brown, I am sorry this happened to you.
2 day suspension , isnt that called a weekend lmao
NBA should suspend him longer
Johnny Lee did you really think he was going to get fired we have a short memory was it a year ago 2 years ago black guy got killed for expired tags girlfriend was video taping it
Total BS! They were harassing him, plain and simple.
Lynn Deln that's a very interesting hypothesis
Lynn Deln he was disobeying a long plain and simple I guarantee you he won't press charges the same outcome that we got out of Starbucks we will get out of this
*Lynn Deln:* People in the NBA should be allowed to park horizontally in two handicap spaces when they could of just simply picked the empty space beside them and avoided the altercation all together.
The police probably thought it was just another random black dude. Now they got another thing coming for them since it’s an NBA player
"new rule guys, you can't unjustly arrest or beat up a black guy unless they are under 6'0. 5'10 just to be safe" - Milwaukee PD probably.
Elite Clinical Research he won't win shit just like that other idiot from the eagles who cried innocent for months 😂😂😂
I hope so
And that is scary for us other random black dudes
Elite Clinical Research - Believe me. If he wasn't an NBA player, he would still be in jail. There would have been drugs planted in his car and the body video would have never been found.
This is why NFL players take a knee
Now ruled illegal by The NFL.
Fred Garvin Who cares? We will still take a knee. This is why it is call a protest.👊
Exactly! Shout to Kapernick a true American Hero
Fred Garvin is only against policy if they are on the field, they’re welcome to stick around in the locker room until it’s over though 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
TracyVeronica Rolla that’s not 100 percent true. Players are allowed to stay in the locker room while the anthem is being recited if they refuse to kneel. If they’re on the field then it’s against policy
He has money. He needs to get the best law team and make an example of those officers on behalf of us common folk
He's a rookie. HE doesn't have THAT much money to be perfectly honest. However, if the owner wanted to stand up for him thats a whole new level of lawyer.
dunkindan1 his status and position in the NBA will allow him to get great legal help. I guarantee tons of attorneys around the country have already reached out to him offering support
dunkindan1 i was exaggerating about a team but he has a 3 year contract and can afford at least one decent lawyer
Dra O what do boots taste like?
Name checks out
The girl that was in the car with Brown got out and tried to deescalate the situation when she saw what it was turning into, and the main officer in question tells her "You don't need to interject yourself. Go ahead and step over here. You're gonna get involved in something you don't want to get involved in." The cop obviously knew something was about to go down.
Throughout the beginning portion of the video, Brown has his hands in his pockets the entire time and was never asked to remove his hands from his pockets. All of a sudden it became a problem? Man, these cops are scandalous as fuck.
Mike A passenger never get out of car in a situation like this
Greg You're right for the most part. These cops didn't seem to mind her getting in and out of the car though. She did it multiple times. Not once did they order her to sit in the car or be arrested, like they do with most. Instead, he just told her to "step/stand over here". Tbh, if she were black, she probably would have been tased too.
White man parks across two parking spots at 2 a.m. in an empty parking lot. - Cop: "Sir, please move along and make sure to park legally next time".
Black man parks across two parking spots at 2 a.m. in an empty parking lot. - 10 cop cars and a taser. Go to jail.
What? No drugs in the car? I'm surprised they didn't plant any.
Yes, as an old white suburban woman they would not treat me this way. There was no aggression on his part. Cop was lying to other cops to cover up. What is with muting the mic 19 min into video? What is being said? I want to see the tasing cops video and what was said in that group. Until they start throwing bad cops off the force they will never be respected. Time for Sterling to get out of Milwaulkee. But, sue them on the way out.
ra5928 did you see the video are the cops pulled over the white guy he refused to comply they put the k9 dog on him he is white the cops are white
Gregory Sweer - Let's have a contest. You post that video and for every 1 video you post, I will post 5 where it is a black man. OK? Go ahead ... you first.
Tyler Lerum - By defending him I'm smearing him. Wow. I think you are a little mixed up there fella.
All that man power over a parking spot. I guess no other crime happens in that city
It was a handicap zone - so, very disrespectful.
"Holy Ground, Highlander !" Seriously, would you like to be handicapped? How would you feel? Eh, that guy thinks we're like everybody else.
Kelly KitKat i doubt many handi cap people are out @ 2am, plus its usually more than one spot. Write a $500 ticket and move on
Lots of crime happens there. The police need to cover a lot of bases, including parking violations. Unfortunately, the NBA player tied up the police's resources for much longer than he had to. A simple acceptance of the ticket--you know, being accountable for his own wrongdoing--would have freed them up to handle more serious matters.
Also, at 2 AM in an area known for heavy prostitution, yeah there will be heavier police presence. Not all of the police were there right away, but it is common practice to always have backup.
Personal responsibility is dying in this country, and self-entitled sports people are making it 1000% worse.
Michael O no difference in whites who think their above the law, " white privilege'
This is america
jeet police be tripping now😑
AmeriKKKa
Don't catch you slippn now!!!
jeet U meant this is Amerikkka
jeet ameriKKKa ***
they suspend the officers. Sorry, but they should all be fired. Using a taser over a parking violation is completely unacceptable.
with pay or without pay? Big difference
Not just suspend them but terminate.
hey idiot thats government for you. Maybe u should stop voting for democrats and start voting libertarian. Otherwise sit down. Shrink government or eat the fruits or ur terrible decisions.
WutTheDeuce you don't understand the law you don't understand the police force they are a powerful entity he got suspended with pay it takes a lot for them to get fired
excessive force isn't "a lot"?
Wtf is with all these people in the comments saying that oh if we saw the whole video you'd see Brown PROBABLY is being reluctant and aggressive. THE WHOLE 30 MINUTE VIDEO IS ON RUclips. Go watch it yourself and see that he was not combative at all and that the cop talks down to him the entire time.
He has his hands out of his pockets at multiple points of the video but returns them either to turn off the car alarm with his keys (the idiot cops keep setting it off) or simply because its 2am in the middle of winter so its fucking cold. The cops that tell him to take his hands out of his pockets are the ones who turned up later who literally had zero reason to be there in the first place. Even the cop who called for backup said audibly in the video that he only wanted one car to show up, instead its at least 3 or 4.
Please people I get that sometimes the person being arrested can be reluctant or aggressive in these situations but this is not one of those times, the whole video is available so go get the facts before spouting nonsense.
this copper was sickening, unfit for duty. WHY! didn't he write a ticket and go.
You don't understand. Its not like Brown did something benign like murder multiple students or churchgoers in a racist rampage where the proper protocol is to give the shooter Burger King, he was parking wrongly.....WHILE BLACK!!
Everything was totes justified as would have been shooting him because this is America.
It's mostly white people who agree with what these cops did!
HlddenTalent you right about that it's not going to happen!
who agrees with what they did? Did you do a poll? The cop regardless of race has an ego and was waiting outside for the person regardless of their gender or race. He wanted to get his kicks off by bullying someone that parked illegally instead of just writing a ticket and leaving. There are alot of people in the world like that cop and the problem is he didnt know his behavior was out of line because like most people nowadays they blame their actions on others.
Sounds like America, looks like America, is America
Thomas must be a chief of police somewhere with that mouth
thomas Day nice troll bro so funny.
thomas Day ouu scary
no troll bro....straight 100...
Drox Chief of police? He could run for POTUS, and win with that mouth
Do you know what bothers me,And I’m speaking in general..These damn police officers are late to the party when a damn mass shooting is happening across the U.S...Yet they have all the time in the world to rough people up over small shit like a parking situation.
This is America smh over an parking ticket
King Darious it was more than a parking ticket and you know it and this is happened before unfortunately people's memory doesn't stretch that long
Gregory Sweer Ok let's say it's for more than the parking ticket. In the video the cops asked him to take his hands out his pocket. He informed them he can't because he had something in his hand please keep in mind he just came out the store. Now the reasonable thing to do would be to let him put his things down, and then proceeded to arrest if necessary. Instead they act like a bunch of untrained thugs, and wrestle him to the ground and tased him. Now if he was in the wrong why did the police department apologize, and disciplined the cops involved?
thomas Day Edgy
King Darious I understand where you're coming from and I'm glad you didn't call me a dumbass like this other guy but you have to understand that's not how they're trained the way that we think they should have that's not the way they're going to act but they tell you to take your hands out of your pocket just take your hands out I have no family in law enforcement but people lie to the cops every time they get pulled over about the registration driver's license they are not trained to shoot you in the leg they are trained to shoot and the upper body but I value your opinion and I respect it
Only black people say smh
Wow just for a Parking problem? I believe in enforcing the law but hell this is abuse of power
Gabriel G with a Taser? yes. How many Police are there? they can easily apprehend him without the use of Taser.
The proper consequence for illegal parking is a parking citation or ticket. A stun gun isn't involved in penalizing parking violations. Those cops stunned a man who was cooperating because he was a 6'6 black man and they were scared.
4 cops for a parking violation is too many. You knew they were up to no good or were scared. Same when 4-5 cops broke Thabo Sefolosha's leg outside a NY Night club. Thabo was a 6-7 black man.
All these cops who react contrary to their training need to be released. You can't do your job being scared when it is your job to ensure the safety of the populace. I'm an army veteran and during our training it was easy to spot those scared people. They should never make it to the point where they directly interact with the enemy or the populace with weapons in their hands.
Every commentor deflecting from the real issue by mentioning the parking violation are just operating under Standard Trump Operating Procedures ( deflect deflect deflect and maybe we will forget another atrocity committed against black and brown people). Everyone who says just follow commands are just oblivious. When does issuing a parking citation involve get your hands out of your pockets? Normally you don't need to leave your car to receive a ticket. Even if he was leaving the store, the police only needed to notify him of his wrong doing and issue the citation. Take your hands out of your pockets (Translation- he made a quick threatening move and we felt our lives were in danger). That may not be your reality but that is definitely the reality for black and brown people. Complying isn't the same for all of us.
Enough said. You are On the money
I don't believe a full scale revolution is necessary. Small steps need to be taken before a larger change can take place. The first step in change is always education and for police education would come in the form of training. Policeman isn't a job in which if someone applies and completes the training that a job should be given. A specific temperament and mentality is required to be a policemen or civil servant. People without the proper personality to fortitude to work with people and negotiate difficult situations should be disqualified in the hiring or training process.
The second small step that needs to be instituted is accountability. As a soldier, if you shot an innocent bystander in warzone, you could be jailed. Police get put on paid leave and come back. Soldiers must adhere to Rules of Engagement and Escalation of Force protocols. We as soldiers even put our Escalation of Force basic guidelines on the back of our vehicles in Arabic so Iraqi citizens didn't violate them accidentally. In America, normal citizens don't even have an idea what Escalation of Force or Rules of Engagement protocols are for the police protecting them.
Nicolet, what you are saying is true for the most part, but doesn't have a simple solution. The unemployment rate can be described as 4-5% but in reality if you haven't worked for a prolonged amount of time or haven't attempted to find a job you aren't counted as unemployed which is just semantics. I hesitate to say any part of our nation's bureaucracy belongs to an specific ethnicity. There is a system in place where the powerful and wealthy keep people in place in government to enhance their interests.
I recently received my degree in business management and was extremely disappointed in my degree choice. Business is a good career field, but the operation of business is corrupt in my opinion. While in class you learn about loopholes and work arounds for specific issues. The problem is if something can be described as a hole; then that hole should be fixed. Loopholes are kept to benefit those who know about them, but the imbalances made by the constant use of loopholes shows up years later and the common people suffer the consequences.
This is far from the initial issue of obsessive force, but a system is in place currently where people in power don't have an issue with what is going on in America today. Our voices seem loud because their are many people voicing regrets, but in the end I'm a random voice in an ESPN RUclips comment section. My voice won't reach someone who can affect change and those people who can affect change don't deal with our problems and have less empathy than we think.
95-97% of Americans fall into two camps. One is that they know absolutely nothing, and two, they know enough, but choose not to do anything that matters. So, which one are you?
It is hard to change the world with one voice. Like minded individual on a large scale are needed to affect change. There are too many conflicting opinions on the answers for our ills. Conflicting opinions in government equals to stand still and deadlock. If I personally saw an avenue in which I could personally affect change I would participate, but I would have to agree with the methodology to lend a hand.
Semi I couldn't agree with you more well said
I'm a Milwaukee native, and find this abuse of power by the Milwaukee Police Department to be absolutely disgusting!!! Unfortunately I am not surprised.
Douglas Jones This reminded me of the other Bucks player that was racially profiled in a Jewelry Shop.
Ok...62nd & Congress, 47th & Burleigh
I just don’t get why the cop just didn’t write the ticket give it to him and move along with the night all this could have been avoided
That is all/what I keep thinking. Write the ticket, leave.
Because he was disrespectful the whole time. He got what he deserved
A black man with a nice car.
A LOANER CAR parked in a odd location in an odd position.......was the store being robber and the car positioned to quick exit. A good officer IDENTIFIES all of his contacts in order to insure that he is not releasing a known felon for a parking violation.
He got what he deserved. A million dollars settlement and asuspended cop
hahaha
"to serve and protect" =D

To observe and collect
Mark Norris u mean search and harassed
Police brutality... what a shocker 😱.... not
"We realize the need for greater transparency....But please no questions, and know that we disciplined the officers but won't tell you how."
-Milwaukee PD
Apocalypse3434 I'm over in Oz & haven't seen too much of the coverage just spots on espn etc... Is that a legitimate quote from the department?
The temerity and audacity of this black man. Looking up from the ground and speaking. You know he had it coming.
/sarcasm
The United States of Apartheid.
Take your hands out of your pocket, now.
Nah, officer, I have stuff in my hands. What a joke.
Rich D,
Congratulations! You have the privilege of being oblivious to your own privilege.

You're also an abject failure at respecting yourself or having a clue about public debate discourse.
Freeman Waters unfortunately your opinion is not reviewed by all
Freeman Waters No, it was his stupidity in keeping his hands in his pockets. I'd have tased his ass, too.
on the rocks with salt,
If you watch the entire 30 minute video, you see that at multiple times Brown took his hands in and out of his pockets. Hello it's January in Milwaukee! Why do you immediately blame the victim?? Why are you not questioning the actions of the police? Why did the first officer call for a second squad car over a parking violation? Why did 5 officers surround him over a parking violation? Why was he tazed while on the ground in handcuffs?? Oh but no, none of that matters to you! He didn't immediately pull his hands out of his pockets while standing out in below freezing temperatures for several minutes, while surrounded by 5 cops for parking in handicap spots at 2am in the morning. What in the world is wrong with you?? Are you human?
They all need to be fired
WadeWilson so you think that'll solve the problem
Gregory Sweer No its what should happen in this instance.. The majority of cases where police are accused of excessive force are false. This wasn't. The police that acted inappropriately should lose their jobs and be charged with assault.
Sounds about white.
“I have something in my hands” if he wasn’t a nba player I guarantee u the cops would of shot him soon as he said that.
King James #facts
King James they had no idea who he was bruh
They didn't know who he was till after the arrest
Facts💯
While he was on the floor you can here one of the cops saying they remember his name.
This Is America
Nerds And Cool Kidz durr durr
Nicolet Johnson then go back to wherever u came from and shit in the dirt and drink water from the river. America is awesome and I think ungrateful uninformed people like yourself are running around not realizing how bad it is in other countries. You can drink water that is CLEAN from the tap for fucks sake. These simple things idiots that don't work or provide take advantage of and don't even know what REAL struggle is. A late SSDI payment is NOT a struggle
Rich D and the angry mayonnaise presents itself. So because there is clean water we should appreciate the oppression of police officers? Be grateful you live in a country that has concrete roads that police can beat you on!!! Oh and the SSDI comment was the cherry on top great job asswhole. 👍
Nerds And Cool Kidz police oppression is not real
Wikkitt Klown u mad and yes that is America. No need for nsme calling sir
come on bruh they tried to get him for parking in a handicap spot at 2 am come on no one is at walgreens at 2 am they should of let that slide
You should HAVE stayed in school.
Here's the thing... this would not be a thing if one simple thing happen. According to reports, he was parked taking up two handicapped parking spaces AT 2:30 am! In the video you can see the parking lot is almost empty. BUT he was guilty of a parking violation. Not that he didn't know, but the cop should have said your are parked in a handicapped parking space and I am going to ticket you because that is a violation unless you have a handicapped placard or license plate? No? Then I need your licensing, registration and proof of insurance please. Write the ticket and send his on his way. How many of us have EVER BEEN ARRESTED FOR A TICKET OFFENCE ???????????? He was arrested because he did not show proper deference to the cop that initially started this. They were taking, but the cop called for back up..... for a ticket? And in some of the video as many as 6 police cars some with 2 police answered the call. But then the cop who should have been writing the ticket and sending him on his way just walked away from him and went from car to car explaining that " I just needed one care bla,bla,bla. When he got back there were 3 or 4 other police standing around the man. And in the video, I saw nothing that the man did other than stand there and have an intelligent conversation. I thought that this was going to be much to do about nothing. But then the initial cop kind of walked back up to the man, the started backing away. I see one of the cops to the mans right get his attention and the SMALLEST cop there tries to grab the man's left arm and the other 2 join and take him to the ground. That was not an arrest, that was a mugging. If they were going to arrest him, then you would have heard them clearly telling him to put his hands behind his back! But what were they arresting him for?? Parking in a handicap parking space at 2:30 in the morning??? REALLY? At the worst he should have been given a ticket and sent on his way... But nope! What was he charged with? Resisting arrest?? Well they had no reason to arrest him to begin with. And at 2:30 am the cops in that town are so diligent that that enforce parking too? This conversation should not even be taking place. Ticket, go home.. Bye. The report say that he is going to file a law suite, and I hope he does. I do not understand police any more. They use to tell you what they were doing and why. It was not an argument. I clocked you at 67 in a 55. Licensing, registration and proof of insurance. If they found you somewhere that you should not have been, they would ask " What are you doing here?" And no matter what your answer was you knew and they knew that you did not need to be there and they would send you on your way if you had broken no laws. There are still a few "real police " out there, and you will know them by the way they carry themselves. They believe in the old adage " DON'T START NO SHIT, THERE WONT BE NO SHIT". They have a job to do, protecting us day and night, risking their lives even single time they put that uniform on. But the guys that we are seeing in these video, they aren't the real police. You will know them if you even encounter one.
James T Not to mention that a proper officer would’ve gave him the option to park his car correctly before giving him a ticket. That has happened to me before. Telling Brown to back up multiple times and then continuously stepping back into him is a clear cut case of police intimidation, not to mention calling for back up bringing out 6 officers to help “arrest” him without asking him to put his hands behind his back and just jank his arm from behind then taser him. Clearly deliberately done, they do not get trained to handle a situation like this, they abandoned that training.
Wow dude writing a novel much ?
James T You've clearly never been pulled over at 2:30AM before. Cops are looking for drugs and/or want to issue DUI's. They saw a jack ass park like a jack ass and they were right. He was a jack ass. No status, money, or fame should give anyone special treatment. This isn't just a 9-5 parking meter scenario like you're making it out to be.
Stromtrolli ,
Maybe so, but it didn't warrant being thrown to the ground and tased either. You think it did?
I'm making it out to be a MISTAKE. Not that it makes a difference but I have been pulled over at all hours of the day and night, I have had cops try to redirect my attention while another searches my car, I have been threatened and told that they were going to " lock my black ass up because I had not business there". But this video is frightening and we are seeing more and more of it every single day. Looking for drugs at a drugstore? How cleaver, can't issue a dui to a stopped vehicle.. well I have seen it done but it's messy. There was NO SPECIAL TREATMENT ISSUE AT WORK HERE! Just an arrogant cop and a black man who was not afraid or intimidated, because I can almost guarantee you that if he has acted like some black people I know, this would have went sideways and he would have ended up shot and killed. This entire event was bullshit that none of need. And it makes ever cops job harder.
Sue the abusive Milwaukee cops.....
He is about to double maybe triple is NBA salary
At the taxpayer expense.
Tony Crowe you think so
15,10, and 2 day suspensions for this!!!!! Unbelievable
I watched the full video. The officer stepped in between Brown and his car, and pushed brown back as he tried to reach for the door. Later he tells the other officers Brown came out the store and jumped in his face. Smh.
It was never about the parking violation, that officer was looking for action. Bored and was looking ignite a confrontation with this young man,he assumed was without means. Someone posted if he was white this wouldn't be a story. Truth is , if he weren't rich and "famous " this wouldn't be a story. This happens everyday in my community, harassment, intimidation and unnecessary violence toward an other wise non aggressive individual. One step further rule , if you are calm being. They will be aggressive, this done to try and make a minor offense into a major one. Bigger time, bigger fines win win for department I guess. Resisting arrest, assault ect. Once an individual's natural instincts kick in , to try and protect or defend themselves. Well then it's on , results are usually fatal. Old news to us , new to the world due to the use of cameras.
I can't do anymore. I love this country but we have a problem. It obvious law enforcement has targeted aggression towards black men especially young black men. And it's clearly phycological. I want to believe that all cops are good. But I know better it racism. It's sad because black people can't fix this. It's going take a heroric effort by brave white Americans that love this country and are not racist.
Jason Robinson Don't hold your breath waiting for white people to do the right thing. They benefit from this system why would they ever change it?
THAT1827GAL How do white people benefit from it? Show me the video where a white guy parks his car fucking stupidly in handicap spots during bar hours and the cops just have a joyous time with him because he's white. What you fail to see is these situations ALWAYS happen when it's black people questioning authority like Sterling Brown when he clearly broke the law. Or Walter Scott, running from the police at a traffic stop. Why the fuck do black people just try not to break the fucking law and this shit wouldn't happen.
Law enforcement is not racist. In most cases the people being shot do not comply...........the guy ran from a traffic stop.....shot and killed.....if he would have stayed there he would be alive today.....he ran because he had child support warrant. The kid whop was shot in Fla......if he had not run from the police and stayed on the scene he would be alive today......instead he choose to run in the dark from police.....he did not comply. The guy in NY illegally selling cigreattes .....had he complied with the officer and submitted to the arrest.........he would be alive today. Michael Brown would be alive today if he had followed the officer instruction. TOO many people choose not to comply and they do not choose wisely. COMPLY DON'T DIE.
Stromtrolli none of the shit you mentioned is a reason for someone to be pepper sprayed, assaulted, or killed. This country clearly has a problem with black males doing anything, legally, or illegally. A white make can murder a whole zip code of people, and cops act all docile with them. But yeah...people like you want every reason to see blacks belittled, and physically hurt by law enforcement, and anyone else none black.
Telling a story, won’t stop injustice from taking place.
I think what triggered them was Brown said to them no more sprinkles donuts available.
He about to get a big payday that’s for sure 😂
It has nothing to do with him being black. Firstly, he parked on handicapped parking space, and then he was trying to be too close and aggressive to the police officer. And then in the last minutes he was trying to say that he was an important personality. At least accept your mistake and be respectful to law enforcement, when the officer was being nice in the beginning, he instead started to show attitude. His arrest was completely valid.
G Hossain yep cops don’t have to apologize for this
ARE YOU INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED????? HE CHOSE TO INSTIGATE ANd WAIT FOR THE OFFENDER TO COME OUT OF THE STORE WHEN ALLLLLLLL HE HAD TO DO WAS LEAVE THE TICKET - ACTUALLY TWO BIG FAT HEFTY TICKETS BECAUSE HE TOOK UP 2 SPACES AND THEN MOVE ON TO PATROL THE AREA. IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN TO A COMPLIANCE STAGE PERIOD
roldon7273- how do you know he waited?And so what if he did,id fckn wait if i saw some prick parker over 3 disabled spots,id fckn deck that scumbag,people that park in disabled spots are total scum
Who are you to direct how the officer should investigate. If he feels it necessary to investigate beyond the giving of the ticket, especially the way the car was parked so strangely on two disabled parking spaces, when almost the rest of the whole of parking lot was empty, he was acting completely mildly and logically. Even black people should not support this Sterling Brown arrest case, because it makes their positions look blind and biased, almost exploitation of the history of other incidences.
And go check out the video released by Milwaukee police, then you will know who was at fault here.
They put the guy through all that, because of a parking violation. OMG I'm afraid.
they couldve gave him a ticket and this whole thing would be over you dipshit they didnt do it once
If your an idiot and would act like him...........be afraid.....because your an idiot.
He complied and ASKED for the ticket you moron. At least watch the whole body cam before speaking
Why don't you show the entire video?
I read a headline that said some of the officers would be disciplined..I didn't bother to read the article cause I figured that discipline would be "paid leave"...like that's even a punishment.
The taxpayers will be disciplined when the $100 million case is settled.
Suspension is not payed leave it is leave without pay and notation in the officer file.
Brown should have compliant with the Office in the first place. Then this wouldn't get out of hand. Black people need to learn to listen to the Officers orders regardless of the circumstance.
I should give you a thumbs up for ignorance. Just on your generalization alone. I'm sure my black grandmother would have complied within reason, but like most people would have asked for her ticket and gotten pissed if he kept her out in the cold at 2:30 am without reason.
See key component being Complied. You don;t see foreigners facing this problems. Question being Why?
d-low ali - stop it. Has nothing to do with him being black. He has pride. He was tired. He didn't feel like all the drama was justified. It doesn't matter why he did anything. The job of the Police is to enforce the law, that means put the ticket on his car and keep it moving. That's it. That's all.
Why didn't espn show the video in its entirety?
Why is the audio quality of this body cam footage so poor?
Am i suppose to like or dislike this video 🤔
Like it if you don't like police brutality. Disliking it will hurt the channel that uploaded the video and make the video show up to less people.
Mario Freddrick:
(Just adding my two cents.) When a cop ask someone to back up/ step aside it's because the officer feels threaten and has been trained on safety measures.
(PLEASE NOTICE) It's all based on the policemen's individual perspective of their own safety. So they can legally justify targeting BLACKS or anyone for that matter based on perception.
QUESTION:
WHAT REASONABLE DANGER COULD ARMED POLICEMEN PERCEIVE, that warrants six other officers as back up for an unarmed (Black) person over a parking violation, that results in force (police brutality)?
I remind you this person is question has no criminal history or current warrants for arrest.
Final thought... If this incident happened to another professional athlete of a different race/ethnicity would this be a BIGGER deal?
-open for dialogue.
Wikkitt Klown lmao ure a str8 out racist is this like your sixth ' cuz im black' post? Get over it. It's a real issue and no matter what, until you've walked in a African American person shoes. You cannot say shit
Good job by the police for just using the taser. Nothing good happens at 2AM
I think you should show the full video!
If I tased someone at my job, I would be fired
The real issue sometimes isn't even skin, it's that many black guys "act tough" and the police are used to people bending over backwards for them. Many black guys grow up in rough neighborhoods and learn to hold their own and don't bend down to anyone and that bothers cops to no end.
If you get pulled over and don't say yes sir, yes master, sorry sir, I understand sir, please sir, I understand you're much smarter and wiser than me sir, I respect your authority, please don't murder me in cold blood, then they automatically assume you want trouble. Being a confident citizen is not allowed anymore. That's the kind of policing Nazi Germany had one day, you know? I think part of the problem is a bunch of uneducated cops. Usually countries that have a 4 year degree requirement for police officers, those countries tend to have much less cases of power hungry cops. It's a power tripping and education issue as well as many other reasons we all know about.
Rant Therapist Basically. He was arrested for not being docile enough and too uppity. But in today's language that's what "not complying" (which he actually was if you see the whole 30 min video) and "being disrespectful" mean.
Yup. Acting like a human with dignity and self-respect to yourself, well to them that's offensive and "resisting." And then even when you're not resisting they'll keep yelling "stop resisting" while beating your ass to justify beating your ass. People aren't stupid. The ones with their eyes open have been watching this crap escalate exponentially from the early 2000's. It's clear that our police in America have a major anger problem and a large number of them act like tyrant nazis.
And Variety magazine had the gall to write a piece complaining about Kendrick Lamar and the N word.
sharat vallurupalli That was so dumb lol, that’s the first time a White fan got on stage with Kendrick Lamar (a pro-Black, humanist, artist”) spewed the cultural colloquialism that’s taboo to use outside the intended offendé. Kendrick handled it well though, asked the fan to censor the word and gave her another chance. I hope it was an honest drunken mistake, of course you rap along to all the words in the private of your home which is fine.
Black or whitw rich or poor it dont matter. The officer asked him to back up to remove him from potential threat. The officer was not going to move fro. The drivers door in order to protect himself as well. The officer the asked for id and was refused. In a situation like this there will be back up called.when asked to remove his hands from pockets and refused the proper action was to remove them for him. He clearly resisted the officers and got just what is expected while resisting.
For sakes of argument go put on a hoodie and pretend you have a knife or gun. Now get up close with a friend and time how long it would take you to stab or shoot your friend. Now place yourself in an officers shoes that has a family he wishes to go home to at night and maybe you will understand why this happened. I hope that the officers are on administrative leave with pay at worst. They did just what they was trained to do. Anything less is bad on the chief for not supporting the officers he trained
He has “concerns”?.?.?.? WTF!!! When is this going to end?!?!?!
I wonder what excuse racist will make for this one. Smh
Joel Paul probably that he didn’t listen. Don’t agree but that’s what they’ll say
“Shouldve did what the cops told him to do” that’s the bullshit excuse they use every time to defend cops
Joel Paul "It's not the cops, it's to the thugs to comply". Typical bigot pussy excuse...
"They were afraid for their lives"
Joel Paul This is what I have read so far in regards to the video: "Why his hands where inside his pockets?" "Why he has to park in two handicap spaces in the first place?" "He should have comply to the officers orders."
fire this main cop
1:03 Parking Spat 😂
The parking spat I’m dead lls 😂😂😂😂
Animals in Blue, I have noooooo respect
Next time you getting mugged or somebody breaks into your home give Sterling a call.
darkhorse Animals, bullies, and savages in BLUE.
Kim H Law enforcement doesn't need your respect just your compliance. You have a good day:)
Wow. Just.. Dang men. I mean, a simple ticket would’ve suffice. You don’t let him get in his car and stand in his way, he tells you his name 3 times and you tell him he’s being a badass?? Wtf!!! You comply And they still Fuk with you men. He had stuff in his hands and you yell get your hands out of your pocket?? Huh??? Just makes me sick.
You know the solution. As scared as most of you might be, we can only avoid the inevitable for so long. We are going to have to start fighting back. FREEDOM OR DEATH
Yes.....and the STUFF he had in his hands very well could have been a gun or knife.......
I watched the entire 30+ minutes and I am discussed. The naysayers go on and on about how people turn simple incidents into racism. With an incident like this, how can anyone say that this is not about race.
A parking ticket, it was a parking ticket. So many Civil Rights violations.
Smh this is so sad
#ThisIsAmerica
meanwhile the NFL demands everyone stand and praise the flag :)
Equipois3 because the flag represents our freedom dumbass and to the people who served in our military. The reason you are able to right such a stupid comment is because of our military, not the police idiot. Sometimes I wonder why I decided to serve for ignorant people like you who don’t appreciate shit
Like the freedom to kneel during the anthem?
jreddie92 it’s called respect something your parents didn’t teach you. Guaranteed you don’t have to balls to be shipped to Afghanistan or Syria . Or in any combat zone. You just hide behind a computer all day.
Matthew Chapa fucking idiot
20 16 another uneducated comment . Who can only say idiot lol. It’s ok us brave men will keep you keyboard warriors free to type all the uneducated comments you want . ✌️
For more than 10min. They had to argue with the guy over seeing his ID. WTF? Just show them your fucking ID. They're doing a Job. You don't have to be an asshole just because a police officer talks to you.
(Just adding my two cents.) When a cop ask someone to back up/ step aside it's because the officer feels threaten and has been trained on safety measures.

January? Mf it’s May! Why is this getting attention now?!
OGMillyMillz Probably tried to cover it up or not make the incident trend
this is why i laugh when i turn on the news and see that police got killed
always remember, it was most likely thugs like these
Gabriel G yep. Sad world we live in bro. Sick
What happened before that video? Too short
Wow ...this is messed up !!
Honestly I didn't see him as a threat at all, now I don't know what the actual conversation was, but it looked more like the officers initiated the contact, the guy didn't even move he kept his hands in his pocket the whole time. no way should a tazer have been used in that situation.. Its shameful that people don't look fully into detail.
Did you see how tall and dark that guy is??
Plus he was hogging the parking lot.
What most don't understand is that when you are detained, ie stopped for a parking violation, cops can give certain orders, such as "stand over here", "take you hands out of your pockets", or "identify yourself." They can also handcuff and sit a suspect in a patrol car during a detention.
If cops are asking other questions, invoke your 5th, but refusing to comply with lawful orders or to give your id during a lawful stop will only justify the escalating of force. That's what your lawyer can address in court. The tazing just seemed unnecessary with 5 cops there.
just comply and be on your way. but no... bet he shows his hands next time.
I can only imagine what those cops did before having to wear body cameras.
Unreal
This is what former Baltimore cop, Michael Wood, refers to as a "Humble". It happens when a cop feels he is not being properly respected. There is no crime on the street more dangerous than Contempt of Cop.
How come we only hear about this now???
Why are people getting tased and arrested for a parking violation?
EDC elephant because he refused id and wouldn't take his hands out of his pockets
Facts as I see it,
*BAD FOR BROWN -- Yes, Brown was a little intimidating when talking to the cop, He was too close, invading cops space, there is no need to talk that close and considering it is 2 AM in the morning and Brown is 6'6 I get it.
*BAD FOR THE COP -- Cop is probably too scary to deal with brown by himself and makes a big deal out of it, when other cops arrives he just loses time "blah blabbing" instead of dispatching Brown with a ticket or avoiding a misinterpretation of the situation by the group of cops.
People usually don't understand how easy cops get shoot too and how scared they are, sometimes we believe they are trying to scare us when actually they are just protecting themselves, I mean, why couldn't you show your hands, was so important that thing you were grabbing in your pocket? or maybe you felt untouchable and you were begin the police made the mistake to attack you so you could make a big deal?
why don't police get prosecuted.
How about a compromise. All players, including Kapp, will now stand and salute the flag during the anthem, but the stadium screen has to show clips like this Sterling Brown case and other cases of injustice by the state against people of color.
What’s a parking “spat”
The protocol of what there are saposed to do in situations should be released to the public so we would have a better understanding as to what's going on in that situation and as another way to defend are selfs.
Things like this is why I dont have sympathy for cops when assaulted. The "bad" ones do this while the "good" ones turn a blind eye. Them and there code of silence can all go to hell. Internal Affairs are the cops I appreciate.
Damn over a parking spot at 2am??? Pretty sure there is more priority crimes than private property parking violations at 2am. 🤦🏻♂️
You should sue the terrorists sad part this will not be the last time this happens every day it's a new video or footage of racism daily
6 cops for one man for a parking spot. It's like this is the 1930's.
The Milwaukee community should be outraged of the vagueness of that news conference. Like what does "Discipline" even mean?
Serve , not protect
How many cars responded 5?
Too many cops have a quota for arrest and ticket requirements..and are angry this takes away time from their donut eating sessions .
That much manpower for a parking violation? How is this real police work? No threats to the public no threats to the officers yet excessive force was used to "defuse" the situation.. This is America.
And people got mad when a coffee shop refused to serve a cop. Smh
Boy, Mr. John Bar found a way to answer that question without reflecting his personal feelings and views lmbo..."No John, I asked you what do you think..." Lol
If those officers aren’t fired, vote Alfonso morales out of his office! Hire a police chief who will hold officers accountable. People of Milwaukee stand up!!!
So only 1 officer had their , body camera on? Is either they turned it off or their footages wont be released.
the press can't ask questions?
Suspended!!?? Every single cop on that scene should be Fired! No exceptions.
