    Pause this at :06. He clearly has his credentials in his hand. He shoulda slapped the cop with them..

    And I'll bet he knows EXACTLY who Ujiri is.

    Folks in here already ready to give the cop the benefit of the doubt.

    THIS NEEDS TO END....

    Why do we assume cops are truth tellers?? If you don't trust the government, how the hell do you trust it's enforcers?

    21 weeks MAYBE (OR is 16) is the police academy. You don't get rid of your racism in that short of a time...

    I have been to 3 trade shows in the last month and every time I wore my badge I walked through security easily. Every time I had it in my hand I had to pause and show it to them so they could read it. So yeah having it in his hand means nothing unless he stopped to show it to him. I am guessing in his rush to join in the celebration Ujiri probably just didn't take the time, although "refusing to show it" was probably an embellishment as well. Respect goes both ways and I bet neither showed any in all the excitement.

    I don't think an Oakland PD officer would bother a brother for no reason. Their record speaks for itself.

    Tbh I don't know if a sheriff's deputy is part of the PD or something else. Sheriffs here are peace officers mostly dealing with traffic, court, and escorts.

    Why would he know? It's not like he was watching the game in the arena and was visible before the celebration. I had no idea what he looked like and I follow the NBA. I believe this guy was brought in for security for this one occasion.

    If the officer says can I verify that badge in your hands and Ujiri gets mad and pushes him then maybe I can see your point. A witness says it was the officer who initiated the contact and escalated the situation though. If that's true then this cop is in the wrong, period.

    Lots of speculation in this post. Because there aren't any facts here about Ujiri's interaction with the cop, just assumptions. Using your own personal experience doesn't equate Ujiri's experience.

    I agree but more than likely the officer initiated contact after Ujiri was too impatient to stop. That is what security does. If they don't stop people why have them there?

    I have been stopped by security plenty of times because either I left my credentials somewhere else or you couldn’t see it on me. They stop you, and all you have to do is show them. Wonder if this gentleman came at the cop like, “don’t you know who I am” type of thing and kept trying to walk by him. There is no way they will not let you by if you show them your pass. Shit, I’ve been on the court during warmups talking to Dame or some of the guys and had security basically rush me asking for my credentials. When they see it, they roll their eyes and walk off. I always give them shit saying they didn’t even ask for the players credentials but they asked for mine.
