MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukees city attorney says police officers did nothing wrong when they used a stun gun on Bucks player Sterling Brown during his arrest over a parking violation in January.
The city attorneys assertion in response to a lawsuit Brown filed in June is a stark contrast to the police chiefs conclusion that his officers acted inappropriately. Eleven of the officers involved in Browns arrest were disciplined or retrained.
The Journal Sentinel reports that Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was surprised by the city attorneys response. Barrett says he wasnt briefed on it before it was filed in federal court Friday night.
Brown alleges in the lawsuit that officers targeted him because he is black and that their use of force was unwarranted. Police Chief Alfsonso Morales apologized to Brown for the officers actions.
