As recently appointed Police Chief Alfonso Morales, city leaders and community groups reckon today with the legacies of these historical realities, they would do well to heed Sterling Brown's call to take on the systemic roots of racialized police violence in Milwaukee and invest in solutions that empower rather than continue to alienate black citizens - no matter their fame. Brown's unjust tasing and arrest demonstrate that across the country, real police reform will require constant vigilance and ever greater community participation. While releasing the body-camera video, suspending three officers involved and requiring policy review courses - as Morales did - are good initial steps, those in power know they must do more to build police legitimacy. As Mayor Tom Barrett stated, "I think it's an opportunity for us to do better. ... We have to do better."
