The NBA's Sterling Brown, who was tased and arrested
after a police attack stemming from a parking violation,
filed a lawsuit in 2018 against the city of Milwaukee,
the police chief and the eight officers involved in his
arrest, reported CNN. Noone was surprised by the attack. |
Madison, Wisconsin—When Milwaukee Police assaulted NBA player
Sterling K. Brown for a parking violation in early 2018, the Milwaukee police chief subsequently apologized for inappropriate police conduct, as though the assault were a breach of social etiquette, and not a human rights violation (
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel,
CNN,
Mal Contends).
Mayor Tom Barrett (D) (2004-present) was worse, releasing a statement reading in part: "I’m hopeful this incident will be a turning point and allow us to take those actions necessary to improve police community relations" (
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel). A
turning point.
A group of malicious cops surround, lie to, defame, threaten and tase a man for a momentary parking violation, and Barrett talks about "police community relations."
It's Barrett. In the past year, precisely what actions have Barrett and the city of Milwaukee taken to "improve police community relations" and implement this so-desired turning point?
The Milwaukee cops converging on Brown from a total of eight police vehicles knew their job.
Cops can and will do anything, like kicking the shit out of black folks, knowing
Barrett has their backs.

Google search results with key words: Milwaukee police kick man in the head. Turning points, Tom Barrett calls these attacks, lots of turning points.
Sterling Brown subsequently filed a
federal civil rights complaint. He'll win.
This long introduction is necessary because the Democratic National Convention 2020 will be sited in Milwaukee, it was
announced today. "The convention is scheduled for July 13-16, 2020, with Fiserv Forum serving as the centerpiece of the event," the
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Milwaukee is the most racist, segregated city in the worst
state to be black.
There will be massive demonstrations.
Contemplate the reaction from Milwaukee Police. Barrett's platitudes have amounted to nothing.
