Milwaukee mayor concerned by police behavior in Sterling Brown arrest video

Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett said Monday he has concerns about the actions of police officers during the January arrest of Bucks reserve guard Sterling Brown outside a local drug store.

Police video of the arrest is expected to be released to the public this week.

"I'm going to let the release of that speak for itself, but yes, I definitely have concerns after watching that video," Barrett said, according to the Journal Sentinel's Ashley Luthern, Daniel Bice, and Mary Spicuzza.

It was reported at the time of the incident that police employed a stun gun during the arrest. Brown was later released without being charged, and was instead cited for a parking violation.

One anonymous source who viewed the video told the Journal Sentinel, "This could be bad ... the player doesn't appear to be provocative at all."

Brown, who played 54 games for the Bucks as a rookie this season, had declined to go into detail about the incident. However, his lawyer Mark Thomsen told the Journal Sentinel on Tuesday that he plans to file a civil rights lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police Department.
