    That’s hilarious! Ujiri didn’t even have to physically have sex with the cop’s wife to cuckhold him. That’s freaking Alpha as hell.

    I will say this, the cop was completely in the wrong and was overly aggressive, but why wasn't he wearing his credential? As someone who attended games for three years with credentials, and seeing the same people over and over at security checkpoints, I still had my credential on and completely visible. And when I made eye contact with security I could see them look at my pass and move on. And that's not in a hectic environment like a championship winning game in another arena. I think Ujiri was in the wrong for not following protocol. But the cop was a tool and should be fired/charged with assault.

    I don't honestly think we can criticize Ujiri for this... (Not trying to be rude or anything).
    If the security officer didn't see the credentials or they weren't visible, then ask. I say the same stuff to my little kids, use your words... I know you agree with this part, there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to get physical at all, at the most just stand in his way for a second and ask.
    Security, police, etc., need to learn to de-escalation tactics, use your ability to communicate peacefully, that's literally it. It has basically nothing to do with if Ujiri followed protocol or not.

    The cop massively overreacted. 100%.

    But if dude was wearing his creds this doesn't happen. He should know better than that. He had them stashed in his jacket. I'm shocked he got that close without them on in the first place.

    He was wearing his credential. It was around his neck and tucked inside his coat. It could have slipped inside his coat or he could have put it there. Moving through a pissed off crowd like that in an opponent's arena I'm not sure I would be putting my credential on open display until I got to where it was actually needed. Which is what it looks like he was doing. Someone could easily rip that from his neck and either used it to get down onto the court or even sold it on ebay because people are stupid like that.

    Ujiri wasn't the one with any authority in the situation, security is there as the "gate-keeper" so to speak of who can get on the court. If they didn't see the credentials for whatever reason. They are in a position where it's their responsibility to communicate effectively and peacefully that hey we can't see your credentials. If Ujiri tries to push past him without showing the credentials ok that's a different story.
    It's on the security guard to get a view of the credentials peacefully because no matter where Ujiri puts his credentials he can't guarantee what the security officer is or isn't going to see.
    I get the thought of, well Ujiri should've had them more visible, but still, it's 100% the security guard, not Ujiri IMO after watching the videos.

    He wasn't... it's literally in his hand. He pulled it out of his coat.

    I think the biggest takeaway here is that a Sheriff Deputy in Alameda County makes $244,000 a year plus benefits?!

    Is that accurate? Jesus Christ, good pay for a sociopath with an insurance fraud history.

    The audacity of them continuing to double-down should be shocking but who can be surprised?




    Should also be noted that Adam Silver basically said that Ujiri exacerbated the situation and was unprofessional. Silver loves bootlicking.

    Here's the thing... if it was a simple little shove when Ujiri was a little too close, okay whatever, but the dude shoved him hard twice. For no reason. He wasn't being aggressive. Dude should have had his credentials on, but the officer grossly overreacted and I really can't help but think it's racially motivated.
