Police officer body camera video was released Wednesday from the night Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown was tased and arrested.
He is later let go with only a parking ticket. The officers involved faced an internal investigation and have been disciplined.
The video shows the moments leading up to the incident back in January.
In the video, you see Brown come out of the Walgreens. He was stopped by an officer who asked for his license.
Officer: "You don't see the issue here, hold on."
Brown: "Don't touch me."
The officer told Brown that he needed to back up.
Officer: "Because you're going to try to get in the car, I'll do what I want, alright? I own this right here."
Brown: "You don't own me."
Brown: "Well this is me, don't touch me. Though you don't own me."
Officer: "What's your name?"
Brown: "Don't touch me."
Officer: "I don't know who you are. So that's why I asked, ok? These are legitimate questions, right?"
Brown: "I ain't got no problem with it."
Officer: "Can you explain this to me, you parked across two... You have an entirely empty parking lot and you parked across two handicapped parking (spots)."
Then backup arrives. Police squad car after police squad car pulls into the parking lot. It's a big response for a parking violation and much more than the officer requested.
Officer: "I actually just wanted one."
Brown was then surrounded by police. Six stood around him in a circle and continue to talk with them, calmly, with his hands in his pockets. A minute later, one officer's tone changes.
Officer: "Take your hands out of your pockets now."
Brown: "I got stuff in my hands."
That is when officers take Brown to the ground.
Officer: "On the ground."
Officer: "Somebody got a taser?"
As Brown remains on the ground you hear the commands.
Officer: "Tase him, tase him."
Officer: "Taser, taser, taser."
After it sounds like Brown is moaning.
Eventually, Brown is back on his feet and in handcuffs. While the officer who first stopped Brown makes a candid comment.
Officer: "If the guy would not have been such a d--- I would've said, 'Hey have a nice day, ya know?'"
Officer: "And now he's like, 'I'm a Bucks player, blah, blah, blah,' so what."
