Doc Rivers Ignores Facts, Race Baits, Calls The Minneapolis Shooting 'Murder'

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.

This big boohoo, is the dumbest hoodoo in the NBA.

But I have the receipts and the Schadenfreude ready to go.

During the BLM riots, Rivers broke down and cried, well, a river of tears like a woman at a post-game press confab.

The pathos was, and is, still palpable.

“It’s amazing to me why we keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back.”

Got nothing to do with race, Duck. You're just a shitty pimp, a geniunely bad coach, a terrible role model, and a weak human being. And you wonder why life has smacked you around. Grow the f--- up.

Well, she was leaving her Dyke Chippee behind. So, guess again Dog... I mean Dok.

He’s just saying what his wife told him to say.

[dfwgator]

It’s the CCP money talking.

Showmealiens from Africa, they be darks.

[Glad2bnuts]

Grow TF up.... agreed.

Lesson to be taken from this encounter: When law enforcement officers carrying loaded weapons ask you to step out of the vehicle, comply immediately and do not consider making a break for it.

“Freeze, turkey!” Catchphrase from “Charlie’s Angels” (TV Series 1976–1981)

Regardless of the demeaning labels that are joyfully tossed around in these FR posts, eventually someone is going have to plead to a judge & jury who will then need to litigate at least four arguments:

1) The LEO was clear of the vehicles tires when he fired the first shot.

2) The vehicle continued to turn to the right and did NOT move in a direction that supports the "intentionally tried to kill the LEO" theory.

3) The LEO continued to fire into the drivers side window when he was on his feet completely clear of the vehicle.

And finally...
4) The LEO had a telling "hot mic" body-cam moment when he called the (dead) woman a "fucking bitch".

Sure looks like Doc Rivers is a charter member of the Illegal Alien Mafia.

Considering his Wisconsin and NBA fan bases, if Doc Rivers believed he absolutely, positively had to speak out about it, he needed to stay with the program.

“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.”

He’s right, what he is adding is a travesty. He didn’t obviously see the videos when she drove her car right at ICE agent, hear the witnesses, know why she blocked the path of the ICE cars with their blinking lights on and refused to move, and when the other ICE agent tried to get her out of her car she refused to bail from while identified as law enforcement and she tried to escape wildly on iced roads...there’s more.

Rivers is nothing more than a user of people. He attended a Jesuit college (catholic) where he graduated after he used the college team to get a job in the NBA in, surprise, political science. He couldn’t get into a Baptist college as the only one with a serious basketball team was Baylor. So in his religion that he doesn’t attend church but claims he prays at home, he took his chances with a catholic school for the team that is seen on TV. He obviously is to be trusted.

Not that I'm a regular fan anyway, but the NBA is now dead to me.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Doc, there’s a saying about staying in your lane.

[dfwgator]

Lane Violation!

[FlingWingFlyer]

So, he also believes that Jeffrey Epstein was “murdered” too, right? WTFU Doc? Get a life bigot.
