\n Toronto Raptors president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri filed a countersuit against the San Francisco Bay Area police officer he had an altercation with while trying to make his way to the floor after the Raptors won Game<\/a> 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

The suit, which includes new video footage that proves Officer Alan Strickland was the aggressor, was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Oakland, California.<\/p>\n

In the video, Strickland can be seen grabbing Ujiri by the suit jacket and shoving him before telling him to \u201cback the f\u2014k up.\u201d Ujiri was attempting to show his credential in order to reach the Oracle Arena floor to celebrate the franchise\u2019s first championship with the Raptors defeating the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n

After the two exchanged some words, Ujiri held out his credential again. Strickland shoved Ujiri a second time, prompting Ujiri to retaliate and shove back. Once the two men were separated, Ujiri was finally able to make it onto the court to celebrate with his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter being shoved and cursed at, Mr. Ujiri did not respond aggressively towards Mr. Strickland,\u201d the suit says, per ESPN. \u201cInstead, he calmly asked Mr. Strickland why he had pushed him, informed Mr. Strickland he was the Raptors\u2019 President, and held up his all-access arena credential to show it to Mr. Strickland. Rather than trying to communicate with Mr. Ujiri, Mr. Strickland chose to dismiss Mr. Ujiri\u2019s claim that he was the Raptors\u2019 President and ignore the all-access credential Mr. Ujiri was trying to show him. Mr. Strickland then forcefully shoved Mr. Ujiri a second time.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly after being unjustifiably told to \u2018back the f\u2014 up\u2019 and shoved twice did Mr. Ujiri show any response and return a shove to Mr. Strickland\u2019s chest. Mr. Ujiri\u2019s defensive response was a reasonable and justified reaction to Mr. Strickland\u2019s use of unnecessary and excessive force.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strickland filed a suit in February alleging that Ujiri assaulted him in the moments after Toronto\u2019s win. As a result of the incident, Strickland said he \u201csuffered injury to his body, health, strength, activity and person, all of which have caused and continue to cause Plaintiff great mental, emotional, psychological, physical, and nervous pain and suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initially, Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern claimed that Ujiri struck Strickland\u2019s jaw and shoulder and therefore called for Ujiri to be charged with battery of a police officer. However, following a months-long investigation and a meeting between the office, Ujiri and his lawyers in October, the Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office declined to press any charges.<\/p>\n

Ujiri includes in his counter suit that Strickland falsified their encounter and attempted to portray Ujiri as \u201cthe initial aggressor and an inherently violent individual.\u201d The suit goes as far to call Strickland\u2019s account \u201ca complete fabrication\u201d that has been contradicted by video footage.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
