    Usually they can tell it's legit just from glancing at it. Yes.

    The Washington Wizards are rumored to be offering Ujiri $100million for 10 years.
    Look for this story to disappear in a day or two.
    In the meantine, imagine an Oakland police officer telling his family they will be putting in a swimming pool this summer.

    Cops stopped being "peace officers" or "peace keepers" long ago. They have mutated into a paramilitary organization that acts like an army of occupation in a community they no longer identify with or have any empathy for.

    Time & situation are important in the context too.
    If things are calm, it's much easier to take note and notice the credentials.

    This was immediately after the game with lots of commotion occurring. That creates a high stress situation for the security team.... it's tough to compare it to a 'normal' situation.

    Not in this instance but people in this forum give cops the BOTD all the time. I've debated with them.

    Did I use caps? What would give you any indication that I need to "calm down"?

    No need to respond so viscerally to a simple statement that had nothing to do with you...

    Finally, an eye witness account instead of message board speculation :)

    How many members of our team get to be roughed up at Oracle? One is too many and this is two. No wonder Ujiri was ready to fight him.

    We've been hearing about this. Supposedly being in Washington is a draw for Ujiri who has stuff going on with Giants of Africa/Basketball Without Borders and other endeavours that involve politics and gladhanding. But he won't leave for money.

    When he is walking down the tunnel he is only holding the lanyard part and the credentials are dangling down, fully visible. They are in the exact same position in a photograph I saw when he and Lowry walk away from the incident.

    There should be a degree program then. This is not hard. Being a cop should require a 4 year degree.

    THEN PAY THEM... 80K+ to start.

    They will do stupid things like this a LOT less.
