In this case, "credentials" means that you're wearing a gold armband or a white face. Or orange face, if you're Leo Rautins, which allows a 6-8 person to run (not walk) straight past security into a heavily enforced secure area.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Also, I love Deadspin:
Presumably an armed police officer can defend himself against a laminated piece of paper....

The superior isn't a doctor though, I'm assuming. If he went to the hospital after and he has a professional diagnosis as concussed and an injury to the jaw then that's different(the guy is now out on injury leave).
I spoke to the Staff Sargeant for the Alameda Sheriff's Office the morning after. He confirmed over the phone that the officer had been checked by a doctor and was completely fine. Unhurt with no injuries.

From Caitrin Hodson of CityNews (via her Twitter account):
Now, Kelly is the departmental spokesperson. Perhaps he was misinformed ... but if so, that is a huge mistake for a public information officer to make.

I agree with most of what you said. But let's not make this entirely a US/CDN thing, when we have black youth with a knife on a bus get shot 20X by multiple officers with no one near him or in any immediate danger...."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

"Wiener says Ujiri's credentials were in his hands and not clearly visible to the deputy when he tried to go onto the court. The deputy stopped him and Ujiri stepped back, before trying to go forward again. When Ujiri was stopped by the deputy again, Wiener said Ujiri pushed the deputy in the chest with two hands."
From all the video and photos I have seen, Masai was holding his credentials (at least eventually) and not wearing them (easily visible). There are more than a few sides to this story.

Once AGAIN, this is the eyewitness FOR Masai:

Even the cops' story has it that Ujiri presented his credentials ("aggressively"), so I'm not sure how anyone can take a stance where the officer didn't know who Masai was at the time of the shoving.

If I’m the DA’s office, I drop this. The inconsistency of stories coming out
pf that police department is embarrassing!
***If the accounts are correct***
I don’t condone the actions of the police officer, you can uphold the law without acting like an aggressive jackass. As an enforcement officer in that type of event you have to be a representative of your city as well as keeping the peace. Major fail on his part.
I also don’t condone the actions of Masai... under no circumstances do you touch a police officer. I agree with Apollo, you stand down, any action you take escalates the situation, and 10 times out of 10 you don’t come out on top.
I think we are pretty lucky to live in this country. In most cases our police officers are trying their best to uphold the law without excessive force. There are blemishes but very far and few between, nothing like south of the border.
