This is really a horrible look from front to back for the ACSO
- The cop wasn't remotely professional in any sense of the word. You hire police officers at events like this because they're supposed to be security specialists of some level. Part of being a professional at an event like this isn't just being a rage monkey when people have the wrong credentials. It's understanding who the VIP's are and understanding that events like this have certain people who are kind of a big ****ing deal to them. If the cop didn't know who Masai was, that's on him, regardless whether Masai had his credentials or his cock in his hand
- This nonsense over Masai not having the right credentials. Sort of a carry over from my 1st point. He had legitimate event credentials in his hand and he's not a random, he's Masai ****ing Ujiri. Masai doesn't have the right arm band? Oh, no worries Mr Ujiri, this way sir, enjoy your victory congratulations. The thing that undercuts this entire line of excuse from the ACSO is that almost ****ing nobody of any value was wearing an armband during the ceremony. None of the Raptors front office, none of the NBA head office, none of the media. Literally nobody other than true randoms who know someone important enough to get them floor access.
- Masai presented his credentials in a "very threatening way"...near the officers face, who it has been reported by bystanders, was yelling at Masai "aggressively".
- It's also been reported by eye witnesses that people in the ****ing crowd started shouting at the cop to tell him that Masai was the Raptors GM. People in the ****ing crowd knew who he was and this cop didn't. The cop responded "No" and pushed Masai (according to our favourite racist police spokesperson, Masai was in the cops "personal space" and this of course required a push because police training). Just to clarify the pushes, according to the racist, the cop pushed Masai at "a level 5", and Masai pushed the cop "at a level 10".
- The only public video shows a completely unhinged cop and a calm but rattled Raptors President. Completely unhinged rage monkey. Literally needed to have multiple people put themselves in between him and Masai to stop him from assaulting Masai in front of the cameras of the ****ing world.
- ACSO is called the day after the incident and a reporter is told that the Officer is fine and sustained no injury....woops, now he's concussed from a strike to the jaw a couple of days after that.
- We're going forward with charges and we have "damning" footage from the body cam and arena cameras. Uhhh...about the body cam footage, the force of the push turned the camera off. We're not releasing the arena camera footage yet either.
- The cop has retained a personal injury lawyer. ****ing seriously.
- The police spokesperson is the same guy, as HL was kind enough to show us the other day, who was reposting white nationalist tweets on the ACSO official twitter page. Managed to keep his job as their actual spokesperson too.
Just a ****ing joke of a situation, the ACSO is a clown show.
