Last month, Timothy Brown was violently arrested by narcotics detectives while he was trying to buy some wine in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
But cops say he was involved in a drug buy.<\/p>\n
Things quickly escalated, and Brown was severely injured.<\/p>\n
Last week, he and his lawyers announced he was suing the city and the NYPD for $100 million for the false arrest and injuries.<\/p>\n
The incident has already led to some changes and major reviews within the police department.<\/p>\n
Brown and his lawyer, Derek Sells from the Cochran Firm, joined \u201cThe Rush Hour\u201d on Friday to talk more about the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
