Maishe Dailey and seven friends were walking around the downtown area in his hometown of Cleveland on June 4, looking for a place to watch their beloved Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA finals.
They suddenly were confronted by eight police officers, who slammed them to the pavement and searched them. They were kept there for 40 minutes and were searched several more times before finally being released.
“They let us go and said ‘We thought you guys had a gun,’’’ Dailey reported in his Twitter statement.
The soft-spoken Dailey isn’t inclined to provide a lot of additional details.
“I don’t want to talk too much about it, but it was like a scary situation,’’ he said after playing in a game in the Prime Time League recently. “When I posted on Twitter, I just wanted to share with the world that it’s real and it happens. It was scary for me.’’
Within 20 minutes after tweeting the news, Dailey got a phone call from Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery, who spoke to him for 10 minutes and warned him to be prepared to answer questions about the incident and his tweet.
But McCaffery also expressed his support for Dailey’s decision to go public, which made the 6-foot-7 guard feel pretty good.
“It really did because it’s just hard to imagine why someone like Colin Kaepernick … he’s taking the punishment for speaking out and doing what he thinks is right,’’ Dailey said. “So it’s good to have my coach behind my back no matter what decision I choose.’’
Dailey said he and his friends filed a formal complaint, and now just plan to let the system take whatever course it takes.
