Raptors president Masai Ujiri vindicated finally by bodycam footage of his cop attacker.

I wasn't aware of this story that happened until yesterday. Last May (2019) when the Raptors beat the Warriors in Oakland for the NBA championship, Ujiri attempted to enter the court after the team he built had just won the championship, an over aggressive cop shoved him back as he was attempting to pull out his credentials to show who he was. He protested verbally and the rogue cop shoved him again. He shoved back and then bystanders moved in and separated them.

The cop lied and sued saying Ujiri had assaulted him, punched him in the face and given him a concussion from which he's been off more than a year, being paid mind you, while recovering from the alleged "assault".

The bodycam footage shows the cop just lied his rotten ass off. No wonder black people don't trust cops. Too many cops lie to cover their unwarranted aggression towards POCs.
