    6 cops for a parking violation. regardless of if the cop only asked for one backup.....they all stayed and played a role in this.

    Wish there was better audio. The camera is all over the place. It is kind of hard to figure out what all happened and why.

    Just another isolated incident. Getting struck by lighting is still more rare than getting manhandled by police. Of course lightning is not there to protect you but that's beside the point.

    black cops will **** all over the rights of white and asian people just as quick. The solution to thug cops is being stymied by constant race blaming. Thin blue line is an equal opportunity offender.

    You wouldn’t live long as a cop. He’s brazenly parked across three handicapped spots then won’t pull his hands out of his pockets. This would have never happened to white dude in the same situation, right?

    What is wrong with that camera? Body cam need to be unobstructed and with a wide lens.

    If you park like that, I’m sure you must be part of a gang or is a big time criminal. Pretty brave to only use just 6 cops.

    It is hilarious how the cop kept pointing out the amount of empty spaces. That is kind of why you don't really give a damn about how you park.

    So if the officer had just given Sterling Brown a parking ticket what other harm would have been done? Jeez. These cops are making it harder on themselves.

    The cop is thug. They should just throw him in jail.

    They will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong after Brown files complaint.

    Then Brown can sue and likely win a sizable settlement.

    city of milwaukee has to pay that settlement. Billions of dollars have been paid out by cities for instances like this.

    cop stays on or finds another job with a completely clean record.

    Nothing changes.

    This is the course of events no matter the race. One solution (instead of screaming racism) is to have officers liable for those lawsuits themselves. Getting rid of qualified immunity, and more cameras will be an absolute game changer. One that is hard to achieve when 90% of the people demanding change are just calling everyone racist.
