Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers addressed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis this week during a postgame press conference on Friday.
"What happened in Minnesota was a straight-up murder, in my opinion," Rivers said when asked about athletes participating in politics.
"It’s awful. This lady was probably trying to go home, and she didn’t make it home, and that’s really sad. The whole ICE thing is, it’s a travesty."
Rivers then accused ICE of racism.
"It’s clear to me we’re attacking brown people, and I just happen to be brown," Rivers said about the death of Renée Nicole Good. "I don’t think it should just be brown people who are upset at this. I think we all have to be."
Now, for some truths.
First, the ICE officer almost certainly did not commit "murder," as Rivers claimed. Murder is a legal term with a specific definition. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the agent acted in self-defense after Good allegedly attempted to ram federal officers with her vehicle.
Cellphone video footage released Friday from an agent’s vantage point appears to show the vehicle driving toward the officer, who shouts "whoa" before shots ring out.

Low IQ individual.
He’s always been smug and stupid—and completely unaware of that.
This guy is a real idiot
This video (which appears to be the ICE agent’s helmet cam) answers all questions.
She sought attention and pursued obstruction.
Look at the segment from the 37-47 second marks; Self defense.

She had been getting away with similar stuff for days and finally made the big mistake of actually driving into a cop. When you get way with doing something close to “the line”, the natural inclination is to raise the stakes. She needed a bulletproof vehicle but went to war without the right equipment.
Who wants to know what a racist black man that coaches in the most racist sport in America’s opinion is? I sure don’t!

Wait…what?
To a person, everyone going to a microphone and siding with the dead poet is either being paid by or blackmailed by the dems to read the script they were handed.
The democrats are going to lose in the midterms.

...and corrupt sport
mob owns it
The CCP owns the NBA.
I’m betting on the fatigue.
Our side will stay home.
Doc Rivers is an idiot, and a lunatic.
See this video. It shows exactly what happened, filmed by an Ice Officer.
"This lady was probably trying to go home"
"Low IQ individual."
Don't forget poor decision making skills.....and ugly too.
He needs a vision test if he thinks the woman was “brown”...why does he add race to the shooting?
Who cares what a washed up NBA coach thinks? And, what does race have to do with anything given that Good was white?
ICE agents should look at suing this guy for slander.
Ya kno’, ah gots dis feelin’ dat 79% of dah folks livin’ in mah ‘Merica, don’ evah git dah whole story befo’ dey open dere yaps, like dis doc guy!
Dah writer Harlan Ellison sez, yo’ allowed tuh make a info’med opinion, dah udders are all cow patties.
