MILWAUKEE — Attorneys for Bucks guard Sterling Brown have filed paperwork to strike a $400,000 settlement offer by the city.

Brown illegally parked in a disabled spot Jan. 26, 2018, outside a Walgreens and was talking to Milwaukee Police Department officers when the situation escalated.

MPD officers took him down and used a Taser because Brown didn't immediately remove his hands from his pockets when he was ordered to by police.

Answer: (Andrade) Yes.

Question: Do you agree based on the training that you received that because Mr. Brown was not allowed to leave, his constitutional rights were violated?

Andrade was fired for violating department policy with several social media posts after Brown's arrest.
