‘We’re trying to protect ourselves .. because he plays for the Bucks, and if he makes a complaint, it’s going to be f****** media firestorm.
‘And then any little f****** thing that goes wrong is going to be, “Ooh, the Milwaukee Police Department is all racist…. blah, blah, blah,”” one said.
Another was later heard calling his shift commander and asking to be put on the overtime board.

At one stage, one of the officers places his foot on the basketball player’s ankle.
When Brown asked why, he replied: ‘So you don’t kick us.’
He answered: ‘I don’t got no reason to kick y’all.’
Brown was taken to hospital afterwards and was then briefly put in custody but he was never charged.
In an interview last month with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brown said he feared he would be shot if he did not comply with the officers’ demands.
‘I gave in so they didn’t pull out their guns.
‘I don’t see what I could have done different,’ he said. In a separate interview, he said he felt ‘defenseless’.
