From [HERE] and [HERE] A former University of Houston basketball star says he suffered a concussion when a police officer hit him over the head with a nightstick unprovoked and threatened to kill him.

Michael Young's accusation comes during a period of intense public scrutiny of the Houston Police Department after the release of two videos showing HPD officers beating African-American men.

"Mr. Young has come forward because he does not want this man to be on the police force to hurt somebody else," said Young's attorney, Reginald McKamie.

Young was a member of the famed Phi Slama Jama basketball squad at UH in the 1980s that included future Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. He had a brief NBA career with the Suns, Clippers and 76ers, and now serves as director of basketball operations at UH.
