FIRST WORD
This federal lawsuit reflects the fact that for too long in this city African-American men have been arrested, abused and ... killed as a result of bad police work.”
Mark Thomsen, attorney for Bucks rookie Sterling Brown, who on Tuesday filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Milwaukee police and the city, claiming wrongful arrest and excessive force during an altercation outside a Walgreens store on Jan. 26.
