Doc Rivers Refuses to Retract 'Murder' Claim in Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Rivers' refusal to retract diverges from Steve Kerr's apology.

Overview

  • Before Bucks–Celtics on Feb. 1, Rivers told OutKick he still views Renee Good’s death as “straight-up murder” in both legal and moral terms.
  • He reiterated that ICE training is “horrible” and questioned why operations were concentrated in Minnesota.
  • Rivers said people who are “brown” should be worried about ICE and cited Tom Homan as endorsing targeting by color, a claim not supported by Homan’s published remarks.
  • He suggested NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon “could have been taken off the streets” under current practices and tied his comments to NBA Pioneers Day reflections.
  • Rivers’ stance contrasts with Steve Kerr’s recent apology for spreading “misinformation,” as DHS continues to assert that Good “weaponized her vehicle” during targeted operations.
