There is video of him holding his so-called absent credentials before, during, and after the incident. Also there are reports of a season ticket holder disputing the officers version of events.

So yeah this isn't going anywhere except some laywer's billing.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
I was 99% sure this thread was going to be about how the Raptors acquired Kawhi for DeRozan. Weird, that it's actually a thing. I can't imagine this gains much traction, though.

Sorry, I can't help but think if he was white GM of the team, he'd have no problem getting on the court. I don't normally go there, but can imagine how p---ed off/ upset he was from being held back from celebrating with his team at that moment.

BS.

The police said that anyone on the floor had to have a certain armband, they were told to strictly enforce the policy, and this guy didn't have it.

Enforcing a policy means asking for the right credentials, not just putting your hands on someone. From the original post:

Quote
Warriors fan Greg Wiener said on Twitter that Ujiri appeared to be pulling out his NBA pass when the police officer “put his hands on Ujiri to stop him going forward.”

Wiener told the Associated Press he was standing next to the officer when the encounter occurred and said the deputy didn’t ask for any credentials before pushing Ujiri.

From what I've seen of the video, that Alameda county sheriff is going to cost the taxpayers some money, and the Warriors a good deal of embarrassment.
