The mayor of Milwaukee says he is concerned about how police acted when they arrested Bucks guard Sterling Brown in January.
According to a report, officials who have viewed the videotape of Brown's arrest said he did not appear combative or threatening after officers questioned him concerning a parking violation.
Brown was initially arrested on a possible misdemeanor charge of resisting or obstructing an office and was tased during the arrest.
"I'm going to let the release of that speak for itself, but yes, I definitely have concerns after watching that video," Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett said at a news conference.
Brown, who was not charged in the case, was arrested in the early morning of Jan. 26 in a Walgreens parking lot after police started to check on a vehicle that had occupied two handicapped parking spaces.
WISN 12 News reports that Brown plans to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city.
He played in the team's game against the Brooklyn Nets later that day and declined to discuss the incident.
Brown, a 6'6" shooting guard, played in 54 games this season, averaging four points and 2.6 rebounds a game.
