Jaylen Brown had strong words for the Beverly Hills Police Department on Sunday night after the NBA All-Star Game came to a close.

The Celtics star took issue with a statement released by the police after Brown’s panel discussion was abruptly broken up by the police department on Saturday night due to a lack of a permit.

Beverly Hills Police released a statement about the incident on Sunday, saying via the Boston Globe: “On Saturday, February 14, the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) responded to an event taking place at a private residence in the Trousdale neighborhood of the City. An event permit had been applied for and denied by the City due to previous violations associated with events at the address.

“Despite the fact that the permit was denied, organizers still chose to proceed with inviting hundreds of guests knowing that it was not allowed to occur. BHPD responded and shut down the unpermitted event.”

Brown took aim at that statement after scoring 15 points for Team Stripes in the All-Star Game Sunday night.

“That was not true,” Brown responded. “We didn’t need a permit because the owner of the house, it was his space. We never applied for one. I think they told the media, the statement they put out they applied and we were denied. There was no permit ever applied for.

“It was hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted for an event that was supposed to be a positive. I’m offended by the statement from Beverly Hills that they put out that we applied for something and we didn’t get it and we did it anyway. Like we were insubordinate. I know how to follow the rules. I’m smart enough to follow the guidelines. It seemed like somebody didn’t want whatever we had going on to go on because out of everybody that was doing something, it seemed like I was the only one to get shutdown. You tell me how I should feel about it.”

Brown also provided additional context about the purpose of the event and panel, which was set to include NBPA executive director Andre Iguodala.

“I had an event for my brand 741,” Brown said. “I’m also a brand partner of Oakley. The house was Jim Jannard’s house, the son of the owner of Oakley. He’s a family friend and opened up the festivities for us. He allowed us to do an activity in his space, talking about the culture, talking about the future of independence, creative control, etc. A bunch of people were there to talk about positivity in the community and it just seems like someone didn’t want that to happen.”

The situation clearly put a damper on Brown’s first All-Star appearance as a starter Sunday night.

“It leaves a bad taste in my mouth here in LA for the All-Star Weekend,” Brown said. “We should be here talking about basketball but yesterday wasn’t great.”
