    Have you ever seen a white professional athlete tasered by police over a parking spot? Or even surrounded by them? That Sterling Brown of the Milwaukee @Bucks was surrounded, tasered, and assaulted by police here isn't just wrong, it's criminal. They should've been fired.pic.twitter.com/V7DCIIeMvf

    Milwaukee Police Taser an NBA Player over a Parking Violation
    This is infuriating. Nothing that Sterling Brown did here, from start to finish, deserved him being tasered and assaulted by the police.

        It took that many officers to address a parking issue or were they told it was ‘a black guy in a nice car so it must be stolen. Go get him” issue? It was 2 am and chances of the handicap spot being needed was unlikely. I understand it’s still breaking the law but the response...

        It's a ticketable violation, not a criminal offense. No way was a takedown necessary.

        I count 6 officers in the shot. Why in the hell are there 6 officers at a “crime scene” when the alleged crime is a parking violation??? These guys weren’t doing their job as officers. They were acting as a gang of thugs.

        It was 2 am so they were probably bored af and needed to release some donut energy. It could also be they get paid extra on calls they respond to. Or they heard it was a black guy. Which one is most likely you think

        It's amazing to me with all videos that we continue to see of Police officers all over the country treating Poc like this. It has Not seemed to deter officers from this type of behavior. Because it's a cultural thing in Law enforcement for them to treat Poc in this manner.

        It’s because we are docile... if white officers started being shot one by one all over the US... brutality against POC would end... QUICKLY!

        Unfortunately, i think if that were to happen the Police would target Poc even more. They would use the weak argument that Law enforcement is under attack to justify it. I believe we Not only need Prison Reform, but Reform in Law enforcement as well.

        Rebellion is something to behold... things change when people have had enough and physically take action. Casualties occur yes, then results

        True, but the casualties is the problem that i have with it. We don't need more Black folks to die. I just hate that part.

        That's why i said laws and legislation have to be changed. As long as Police officers are not held accountable for their actions this will continue to happen. We need to vote at the State and local levels as well, which impact on the elected DA's and again Law enforcement Reform.

        Legislation, state and local laws have failed POC for centuries, the police all well aware, so this nonsense continues but you’re optimistic
