Greg Wiener, a Warriors season-ticket holder who says he was at the game with his son and was about "three inches away" from the officer during the incident, told USA TODAY Sports on Friday afternoon that the police's account is "not entirely true."
"(Ujiri) had (his credential) in his hand and his hand was down by his side," he said. "It looked like he was trying to get it up. As Ujiri came forward, the cop stepped forward and put his hand on his chest and basically said, 'Nobody can go past this point.' He just stopped him. Ujiri didn't say anything, he didn't get his badge up, then the cop kind of pushed him back, then Ujiri shoved him. I mean, hard.
" ... The thing that I'm pushing back on is where they're saying that the cop asked for his credentials. Yeah, he didn't ask. ... There was no conversation at all."
Wiener, who has been going to Warriors games for "about 45 years," added that he "didn't see" Ujiri strike the officer in the face and said "the cop initiated the contact, no doubt about it."
Thanks. He seems like a solid guy, so was surprised then I heard the initial report

Thanks. Seems like a solid guy, so was surprised then I read the initial report. Let's move this to the police brutality thread
There are alooooot of witnesses saying thats not what happened at all.
Well s**t. I've seen that stuff happen up close and it doesn't escalate, but you can see how it would. . Saw CC Sabathia get denied access into the tunnel at a kings game because he didn't have his credentials. He got all pissy, but these cops/security have a job to do and protocol to follow .
