NBA notebook: Police apologize for arrest, tasing of Bucks' Brown

Morales said the officers "acted inappropriately" and have been disciplined
following an internal investigation into the incident. Body-cam video of what
happened was released Wednesday. In the video, Brown is seen surrounded by
several officers outside his car. He is told by an officer to take his hands
out of his pockets, and when he doesn't immediately, the officers wrestle him
to the ground and tase him.

"I am sorry this incident escalated to this level," Morales said in a
statement. Morales did not take questions from reporters in attendance.

Brown plans to file a lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police Department as a
result of the incident, he said as part of a lengthy statement he released
Wednesday. The Bucks also released a statement supporting Brown.
