@1986 The Kings blew it especially Game 4 of that series.
I respect the fact that he actually got from behind a desk and acknowledged the situation, as opposed to just being passive about it and taking to social media. This speaks volumes and we could use more people like this.
Respect to the crowd for being quiet and respecting the man while he speaks 👌🏻
Class act. Well done Kings. 👏🏻

For all you commenting that it’s just empty words, the kings actually just partnered up with BLM and Build Black to find and work with the black community in Sac. Looks like Vivek and the Kings have gone above and beyond on this matter and are setting the example for the rest of sports teams.

Angel Garcia God is helping us and evil will be canceled entirely, for good. I told God I would go to hell just to finish Satan and take his soul the same way he's after my soul. Then I'd return his sad soul back to GOD. As long as someone like me exists/existed I know we're in God's hands. I'm not supposed to be thinking of awesome new ways to kill the devil. I'm supposed to be devilish but I'm not I actually want to be good. Evil is for noobs, children are evil. It's definitely a new age and a new way of thinking.

The things that are happening right now are directly caused from the lies we've been programmed to believe. This country started as a Christian country for a reason. We needed God to win and beat all our evil enemies and we prayed and we won. But somewhere along the line, we turned evil. We turned into our own depiction of Hitler. It really is time to reset.

Yeah I can't imagine how the people of Sacramento can continue on without a 3-time felon to invade their backyards at night and break their car windows..
I love their owner man....damn we need more owners who go out of their way to show they care about the people..
What a nice speech? Short, to the point and nothing overdone. But remember Vivek, actions speak louder than words. And true actions resound and serve as a model for generations to come. Hope, you show more by your actions than you did by your speech. God Bless You!
Thank you for standing up!!
That’s what I’m talking about. Much respect to the organization and the owner for doing that.
This guy is a HUGE upgrade from the previous owners.
I respect what he says. I just hope he means it
honestly respect the kings so much more for this cuz some owners wouldn't even acknowledge this nor say that powerful message
"We're so very sorry for your loss" Nobody there knew the kid or was family.
People don’t understand that all you have to do is comply with police and you won’t have this happen 99% of the time. The man was caught breaking into cars, ran away from police and was seen reaching in his pocket when told to put his hands up. If you’re a police officer you can’t risk your or your partners life like that. Even after he broke the law and proceeded to run away, if he had just laid down in the back yard or put his hands up he’d be alive and in jail right now.

Tennessean there arent such things as "black neighbourhoods". It depends on your income. America has a really weird narrative about race as well. White, black, brown... weird. We are all mixed and all the same. Its like you guys are living in the past somehow. But yea, the access to guns is easier so people do crazy shit easily. In london people are also violent but dont have access to such weapons.

I agree we should start to use a more European method. We are obsessed because America was built on laws from its founding fathers. Most Americans respect our racist slave owning founding fathers. Our amendments need to change because they where never written for everyone they where written for white Americans and now we all are Americans we do need to make a change. People are scared to change because they feel no one will turn in there guns and that’s the difference

Diogo Sena it doesn’t happen there because Portuguese people and African Americans are completely different. We all may be human. But the cultural aspects are much different. Black people are very resistant and non compliant. Not saying all of them are like this, but there are those who are. If you just follow what the office asks you to do and they abuse their powers. That’s what the court system is for. What the media fails to tell you is that the guy who died, was running from the cops and was breaking into cars and running through people’s backyards. He may have been unarmed but he was still causing trouble.
Citizens getting back what thugs been putting out for generations.Too late to be getting sad.
And the morale of this story is don't run from the police no matter what your skin color is... That's the lesson here.
The owner doesn't give a da*n about the Stephon Clark shooting. He only spoke up because it's affecting his profit. They protested at the arena, causing people to not be able to attend the game and this affected his profit. If they didn't protest at the arena, he would've been COMPLETELY SILENT.
At this point we black americans are out here distroying ourself
Thanks we appreciate it
An amazing owner.... wow ✊🏾✊🏾
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I appreciate that as an NBA fan and as a black man in America. It's crazy how so many of these situations like this has happened and no NFL or NBA owners or even MLB owners step outside the box and really do something for the community.
one of the best owners in nba
look, i can totally understand why the police in the US is handling things more aggressively. because of crime and gun violence etc.. but there was no clue, that this boy was a real threat to these officers, therefore was no need to shoot him. one warning shot would have been the better option in this situation, instead they fired 20 shots directly on him. there should be no excuse, these officers handled it poorly.
This won't stop until there is something done about it. Let's be real here, these murderous cops need to be going to jail and should never be allowed to carry a badge and gun again. This cop gets suspended with pay? He's a suspect to a murder, it's bullshit. If a civilian murders another, he won't be protected and be suspended from his employer with pay. Unreal the injustice in this country...
Beautifully said, class act

Respect to him for having the balls to say something.
There are more people outside the arena than there would have been inside the arena.
Why the fuck is the owner making an apology for a criminal who got killed
Salute to one of the ONLY OWNERS that would speak up and step up on an issue like this. Though he pretty much was FORCED to due to the protests.
You will never see a POS NFL owner do this! Salute Sacramento Kings, sincerely Lakers fan

Respect‼️
I missed the part where he said that all the fans that were blocked from the game would get a full refund.
I literally thought the title was about fans protesting of the team being so bad lol.
Amen brother
He speaks so slowly, the King's player got cold, missed all their shots and lost the game. Thanks a lot Vivek!
You NEVER hear owners standing with the people like this owner, most of them could give a damn about blacks getting murdered by police. Props to the sac kings organization.
Can someone please tell me what has happened (i live in australia) and live under a rock

Glad this was addressed. The players, owner and some fans seem to be in agreement here. That was a unjust killing of a young man. Those bum cops that did it. Need to be held accountable. No, cops likr that are needed, not period. Facts.
The police prevented ticket holders from entering the building any further hence the empty stands, homeboy lost a lot of money that night damn
Why can't Trump be as compassionate, genuine, and caring as the Kings owner Vivek. Trump should take notes on how to deliver speeches from Vivek Ranadive.

I thought they were protesting that the team should leave Sacramento since they have been straight trash for well over a decade now.
My brother is a policeman And he wants these 2 officers in particular tried for murder as we do also. Not all police are corrupt we think the police should be bonded before they are hired. Because this way their backgrounds are very thoroughly checked for any extreme affiliations as well. There are other problems he admits however there is no excuse for murder.
Wow, I feel like a lot of owners wouldn’t do this. But then again how many protests go on at sporting events .im not sure

qiushi hu their literally giants. Watching a game on tv is not the same thing at all.
I don't think it's about racism, i think they just hire anybody in the police. They should hire better men and train them better. You can't give a gun to any idiot. The recruitment process is very bad.
This the same dude who said he wanted to play 4 on 5 defense 💀...
Simply put; YES! THIS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT! OUR ABILITY TO GROW AND LEARN! We may never be able to "like" everyone nor everything but we all can work with one another and love this country which we call America! Good morning.
I like this dude. Not preachy at all and it’s important to include everyone. I get tired of the demonization of “the man” which is always white men they are referring to even when they don’t realize It was another race that was actually in power in certain instances.
Can someone please give me their point of view on how the Sacramento basketball team has to do with the shooting? Genuine question not trying to be rude.
What is it that the owner of the stadium is going to work at preventing? Stopping some criminal from breaking into vehicles at night? Seems the end result was another criminal not listing to authority and then a community jumping on the bandwagon and feeling sorry for the person after they suffer the consequences of their own actions.

How to not get shot by police: Don't be busting your neighbors sliding glass door. If you stay off your neighbors property and don't vandalize their home and potentially break and enter, you won't have the cops called on you. When the police are called on you, own up to it. Don't peek and scout for the police and then run from them when they tell you to stop and show your hands. Don't continue to run after they repeat STOP, SHOW YOUR HANDS, THREE TIMES. Don't turn around and square up or charge the police. STOP. HANDS UP. COMMUNICATE. My best guess for the officers seeing a gun is the criminal was squaring up to them and possibly recording video. Could be just running with his phone in his hand. Could be using the phone as a fake gun to maybe scare the police away long enough to hop the next fence and run. It's dark, it's hard to see, it'll be hard to tell what he was doing with his phone. Regardless, don't break windows that aren't yours. Don't scout for the police and then run form them. Don't disobey their orders. don't try to run at them. Don't try to square up. Basically, don't be a low-life criminal trying to evade the police and you should be safe. I have never broken into a home or car. I haven't had the police called on me. Also, I call bullshit on him being a innocent man in his grandma's yard. He was breaking windows and hoping fences. That's NOT innocent.
That's a Class act right there S/O to the Kings Organization this is bigger than basketball 👏👏👏✊✊✊✊✊💯

Mistakes are a part of life. If you break into someone’s house and they are home, that is a home invasion. You can never prevent accidents when you put the cops in a lose/lose situation. They are coming into a situation(possible home invasion and chase) that is very dangerous for them. Cops are killed all the time chasing criminals. To pretend otherwise is purposely ignoring facts. Should this guy have been killed? Of course not. But sometimes accidents happen when you get into a situation that turns into life and death all the time. When the cops chase you, don’t run, and especially don’t turn and then run back at them after fleeing them to begin with. Horrible things happen when you put yourself in a dangerous position. Look at the Uber pedestrian death. It’s tragic but you have to be smart and understand accidents happen when you get into a dangerous situation, like this guy did.
God Bless our law enforcement!!
Well written speech
respect this guy
So what do you want the Government to do, i see a lot of people complaining yet no one has brought a solution that can be put into law. The people you block are not the one's writing legislature.
the protests were not peaceful. intimidating people is not peace
This man earns mad respect!!!!! Suck it NFL
this is a great guy.
Hopefully he & the organization will put some action behind those words !!
Translation... Please do not protest us again because we are losing out on a lot of money I know you guys are going through a hard time but please understand that has nothing to do with us thank you enjoy your day Kings owner statement
My heart goes out to Sacramento, California
