At about 6 seconds on the video in the article above, you can clearly see them in his right hand.
Here is a video of him watching the end of the game in the tunnel. This would have been right before the incident. When he goes to hug the other person, you can clearly see he is holding his credentials. https://streamable.com/bg3no
on the pictures of Ujiri clearly having his NBA pass on him right before the incident as well as some tweets from people who were there when it happened, it sounds like the cop was just being a jackass and created this situation. But Ujiri will be the one who ends up paying the price, smh.
The Raptors GM did have his credentials and the security guard was pissed because the Warriors lost, so he took out his frustration on the GM. He knew who he was, the guard was being an asshole to try and make Uriji look bad.
I've read that Ujiri had his credentials, but pretty much just flashed Â
just can't chalk this up as a misunderstanding and let it go? They're going after a misdemeanor? Yawn
Yeh I agree, not a good look, but they'll drop the charge. In their eyes you can't just go around pushing officers because the wronged you, so they'll charge and drop.
When a person whose job it is to enforce the rules enforces them, you have to comply. Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if the guy had a gun or a knife or anyone got hurt by an uncredetentialed person, the security guard/cop who let him through would be excoriated by the public. The whole point of a credential process is to check credentials, not to flash not to whatever. It is for the raptor’s executive safety why he is on the floor and for the protection of the players. It might be a pain and you might want to run on the court in the moment, but I have a hard time saying the guard made an error. In any event, under no circumstances should you ever put your hands on any person—let alone a security guard or a cop.

at what point can you push and hit a person?
I don't blame Ujiri. The cop wanted him to show his ID. He's the GM! Â
It's his fucking day. It's his fucking show. That cop should know who the fucking guy is who put together the winning team. He's not some schmuck who needs to show his driver's license. This seems similar to the Louis-Gates thing.

Joeyguido illustrates the white privilege take perfectly. It's ok to smack someone as the long as the white guy does it.

At what point do you choose to be a little bitch because your team lost? It’s not like security didn’t know who he was, seeing as he’s at every game home and away during the playoffs and was likely escorted to his skybox by that very same security.

Yeah before the game the cop has to memorize the faces of an entire roster of Raptors and Golden State employees before taking to the court to provide security for the team. Right..

you didn't answer the question. The answer is you shouldn't.
I can't relate, i'm a knicks fan and they never lose.

One of the more brainless takes I've seen in a while. You do know the game was not in Toronto, right?
But every security guard should know what every away team executive looks like to avoid having policies. That is why they have credentials in the first place.
And like with most cases it seems like many people don't have the whole story before determining guilt or innocence and of course it wouldn't be a story in 2019 without accusing someone of being racist.
Seems like in the end the security detail did the right thing, and my guess is this goes away. but hard to find fault based on the USA Today account
Quote:
....Ujiri is accused of twice shoving an officer and striking him in the face after he was stopped from coming onto the court to join the Raptors’ postgame celebration at the Golden State Warriors' Oracle Arena because he did not display a proper credential, according to police. Video of the aftermath of that incident was captured by NBC Bay Area, which was the first to report the complaint against Ujiri.
Ujiri appears to be holding a credential in his right hand in the video, and he also appears to be holding a credential in the same hand in a video that shows him watching the end of the game from the tunnel — before the incident occurred. However, per NBA rules, only personnel with specially designated gold armbands were allowed on the court after the conclusion of the game, and it's unclear if Ujiri was wearing one or had one in his possession...
Quote:
....“We were told to strictly enforce the credentialing policy and not allow anyone onto the court without a credential, so our deputies were doing that,” Sgt. Ray Kelly, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said. “Our deputy contacted Mr. Masai Ujiri as he attempted to walk onto the court. He had no credential displayed, and our deputy asked for his credential.
“Mr. Ujiri didn’t produce them and pushed our deputy out of the way to gain access to the court. At that point our deputy tried to stop him and pushed him backward and then Mr. Ujiri came back with a second shove, a more significant push that, with his forward momentum, his arm struck our deputy in the face.
“At that point our deputy pushed Mr. Ujiri away again and some NBA security people and others intervened and he ended up walking onto the court.”....
Quote:
...Kelly declined to name the officer and said the police chose not to detain Ujiri on the court because it wouldn’t have been in “anyone’s best interests” to do that on national television, as the Raptors were preparing for the postgame trophy ceremony.
“We decided to take the high road in light of their victory but will submit a report for complaint,” Kelly said.
It will be up to the district attorney whether charges are brought against Ujiri.
Or working private security for Warriors? If it is the latter, then there is this grey area because they allow cops to wear their uniforms while working as private security.
However, Ujiri is still a jackass and those who think he should be allowed to do that because of his identity reveal their belief in double standards.

I think it is very different. Henry Louis Gates was an older man, very professorial and walks with a pronounced limp. He was clearly not a criminal and the incident took place at his own house.
Ujiri is in Oakland. Lots of fans want to run on the court after a championship win and the deputy had been instructed not to allow anyone without ID. It's just like when Dolan went nuts and fired the security guard who asked to see his ID. Everyone blamed Dolan. This is the same situation, only the GM is black so it gets attributed to racism. Actually, this incident is not as bad as the Dolan one because there was chaos after Toronto's victory, and the deputy was right to take extra precautions. Imagine if Ujiri was actually some looney Warriors fan who got onto the court and attacked Kawhi. Everyone would be calling for the deputy to be fired if that happened.
his way into the Men’s locker room at the Aussie Open, he didn’t have it and just waited like a gentleman until his handler came with the badge. The rules apply to everyone for everyone’s safety. There is a video of the Federer incident but I am on my phone so I can’t link it now.
Ujiri was in the wrong. But he is a guy in an expensive suit who is very likely to have some official reason for being there. It seems to me that the deputy could have handled the situation better.
Also, after he got shoved the first time, the deputy shoved Ujiri back. That is completely improper procedure. So, I think ultimately the whole incident should be dropped or the trial can be adjourned with intention to dismiss as long as there are no other incidents in the next six months.

So wearing an expensive suit gets your on the floor, do you realize how dangerous that standard is if the public finds out an expensive suit is the only disguise you need to get on the floor? Show the proper credentials or expect if you don’t for someone to do their job. I am sure he wasn’t traveling alone and could have had an underling correct it in about two minutes.
Ujiri should not have reacted the way he did if true Â
it would have been an easy enough resolution regardless of the correct credentials or not. Much like Lowry coming to get him, that's likely all it would have taken
But having worked at a club on Sunset, the bouncers were implicitly required to 'know who's who' just in case they were out and about. I just did sound, and had a real goofy incident of a celeb complaining to my mgr - by the end even he was like 'she was probably pissed you didn't recognize her' knowing I wouldn't have said or done anything wrong
Hell even less high profile, I worked as customer service in a company, got a call where the guy name dropped 'his friend' who was on the board to do something abnormal for a return. Tho we were trained never to allow this kind of thing, and NO ONE had given me a list of board members, I got the slap on the wrist. Even so it was me, not mgmt, who thought to pass on a list of names to the CS team
It would behoove the security company to be sure the FOs are known entities, if not just have pictures even in digital form on phone so they could double check even without the arm bands or whatever. Also might be smarter to do so at least for the potential championship winning game since you know away FOs will be on court
The schmuck shoved an opposing player at a game.
Looks like the aftermath of the incident.
LOL.
This will go over well.
He did more than "touched"..LOL, he shoved the guy for no reason
Thank god nobody was shot
Thank god nobody was shot
GTFO

Yes my lord! Even if they are in the wrong. Always obey those with power. That’s how humanity evolves so well.
You must be a cop.
I thought you can’t call posters names on here.
You must also be a cop.
51st and Park, baby!
I think they should just chalk it up to that and let it go.
Both sides.
