Earlier this year, Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown was involved in an altercation with police in which he was tased by officers. On Friday, city attorney, Grant Langley wrote in court filings the officers did nothing wrong, per Gina Barton of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal. In fact, Langley places much of the blame on Brown for what happened.

The written response from the city and Langley read:

“The injuries and damages sustained by the plaintiff, if any, were caused in whole or in part by their own acts or omissions.”

This is an interesting turn of events considering 11 officers were disciplined or retrained following the incident. At the very least, that signals the police realized they did not act professionally in this situation.

Now it appears Langley is attempting to throw most of the blame back at Brown. The Bucks guard was approached by an officer for a parking violation. He showed his identification and was cooperating when the officer, Joseph Grams, called for backup. A handful of squad cars soon appeared on the scene and the situation grew increasingly tense.

The situation eventually escalated to the point where officers held Brown down and tased him. At no point in the body cam video did Brown appear to be aggressive or uncooperative.

This situation doesn't look like it will be resolved anytime soon, but Milwaukee's mayor, Tom Barrett hopes everyone can move forward. In response to Langley's written response, Barrett said:

“It is my hope that this can be resolved in a constructive way for Mr. Brown and for the community. I think it’s counterproductive for anybody to turn up the heat with rhetoric like this. I’m trying to bring respect throughout the entire community, and I’m going to continue to do that.”

It should be noted, Barrett condemned the officers' actions from that night. Hopefully, Barrett's wishes come true and the city of Milwaukee can move past this ugly situation.
