Cripe next thing you know we will be deporting kids for not standing and saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school. How some people can support him is amazing.

I can't imagine why the players would protest.

Video of Sterling Brown’s Arrest Shows Milwaukee Police Using Stun Gun on N.B.A. Player
Police conduct toward black people has been a fraught issue in Milwaukee. The city’s mayor said: ‘As a human being, I am offended by what I saw.’

At one point, the officers push Mr. Brown to the ground and one officer calls out “Taser, Taser, Taser,” after which a stun gun is used on Mr. Brown.

During the video, Mr. Brown does not appear to raise his voice or physically resist officers.

“I own this right here,” an officer says at one point. “You don’t own me,” Mr. Brown responds.


In a separate statement, the Bucks organization, for whom Mr. Brown plays, said it supported him.

“The abuse and intimidation that Sterling experienced at the hands of Milwaukee police was shameful and inexcusable,” the team’s statement said.
