Masai Ujiri shoved and struck cop

The officer went to the hospital with "soreness in the jaw". Unless Ujiri cold clocked him, that alone screams CYA/power trip.

Unfortunately, while the majority of law enforcement officers are great people, there are way too many hot heads in the ranks. Modern LEO training is too focused on "us vs them" mentality and combined with militarization of the forces is really eroding trust. Law enforcement is a dangerous job, but it is made more dangerous by not using any common sense. A guy in a suit walking onto the court doesn't exactly call for hyper-aggressive action whereas a little "Yo, sir, can I see your credentials?" would have been far more effective. Dollars to donuts says this guy has a long history of citizen complaints.

So unless I see video clearly demonstrating Ujiri was an aggressor, with that witness statement, I'm going to make the assumption that Ujiri was shoved and may have shoved back without even realizing that it was a deputy. The deputy then went ballistic feeling his authority was challenged. You look at the existing video and that surely seems likely. You have a calm Ujiri and a furious deputy being held back by others. Most cops I know would just let this go but the hotheads/authority trippers never do - and the department is pretty much forced to back them up.

 

Pretty sure the officer tried to tip him $5 and Ujiri gave him a dirty look first

 

look at his right hand in my post:

He had his credentials in his hand before he even stepped on the court.

 

he's clearly holding his credentials as lowry who has no idea what is going on, yells at him to come celebrate on the court with them

 

Police caught lying again as usual?

 

i kinda feel bad for Masai, his team finally won a title and he was so excited. And that cop incident happen and took the joy away from him. You could see his reaction when Lowry pulls him for a hug. He didn't look happy. He couldn't enjoy the moment with Lowry.

 

Sure looks like it.

 

Cant really blame the cop here for being overly cautious with all the Nigerian scams out there.

 

End of thread. No discussion

 

Another classic racist Zboy comment

 

Oakland is Butt hurt. What sorry asses

 

delete. Wrong thread.

 

Grow up man it’s 2019. No room for racism

 

Checked your mail lately?

Time to learn geography and what Nigeria is great at exporting.

 

Arrogant? He's GM of the team that WON the championship & being told he doesn't have the credentials to be on the floor. I'm sure the cops knew exactly who he was. This type of foolishness is a part of America history. Never stops

 

Bay Area full of assholes what’s new

 

Oddly enough, isn't he about the same height as Morey?

 

You're so smart I underestimated your intelligence. Shame on me man

 

Ah yes, that police have a terrific record of policing themselves, I’m sure that’ll help
