    Interesting, didn't know about his story. For anybody who doesn't either:

    Bucks player Sterling Brown was arrested and tased by Milwaukee police in January 2018, after being stopped outside a drugstore. He’s still engaged in a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city, after rejecting a $400,000 settlement in October 2019. "Mr. Brown deserves more than a mere apology," Brown’s lawyer told ESPN at the time.
    “I want more than just money,” Brown said in a July post for the Players’ Tribune, detailing his experience and explaining why he rejected the settlement. “I want cops to show respect and to be held accountable when they step out of line, especially in the neighborhoods they are supposed to serve and protect every day. If they kill a man, I want them to receive the same punishment that another guy on the street would."

        Wow, I guess that is probably a perfect example of what African Americans have to deal with every day. Just wow.
