Dark cloud over Raptors' win

Today we’re talking about Raptors president Masai Ujiri and why so many people are calling what happened to him an incidence of racial profiling. While the team and fans celebrate, Ujiri may be charged with battery against a peace officer for an incident that took place right after the game at Oracle Arena in Oakland on Thursday.

Over the weekend, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department told the Associated Press it was recommending that Ujiri be charged for allegedly shoving a sheriff’s deputy while trying to get on the court to celebrate the win with the team on Thursday. There are competing versions of the event and it’s still unclear what happened. 

We speak with Greg Weiner, a season ticket holder who saw the incident go down, and with Toronto-based human rights lawyer Anthony Morgan.

The incident has triggered an intense reaction from fans, and many see this as a clear example of the way black men are mistreated by police.
