'I tried to remain calm'

MILWAUKEE (AP):

NBA player Sterling Brown says he tried to remain calm when Milwaukee police used a stun gun to take him down during his arrest for a parking violation.

In an interview aired on ABC's Good Morning America yesterday, the Milwaukee Bucks player said police pinned him down and held his hands behind his back, then used a Taser on him outside a Walgreens store on January 26.

An officer approached Brown for illegal parking, and called for backup, and six squads responded.

Brown says he gets mad every time he watches the police body-camera video because he was "pretty much defenceless". The video was publicly released Wednesday.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that three officers have been disciplined in the arrest, with suspensions ranging from two to 15 days.
