Quote:“A police officer ordered me to get on the ground,” Bennett wrote. “As I laid on the ground, complying with his commands not to move, he placed his gun near my head and warned me that if I moved he would ‘blow my [expletive] head off.’ Terrified and confused by what was taking place, a second officer came over and forcefully jammed his knee into my back, making it difficult for me to breathe. They then cinched the handcuffs on my wrists so tight that my fingers went numb.”
Can we please stop pretending that this is not an issue we need to have a serious adult conversation about?
Quote:WATCH: New Arrest Video Shows NFL's Michael Bennett Lied About Why He Was Detained
Bennett claimed that he was the victim of racial profiling when police officers detained him outside the Cromwell Hotel following the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight as they were searching for a possible active shooter.
TMZ previously reported that everyone in the club was told by the police to get down and not move, at which point Bennett reportedly took off running.
On September 6, Bennett said that police “singled me out and pointed their guns at me for doing nothing more than simply being a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
However, newly-released footage shows that Bennett did not tell the truth about why he was detained.
"Nah. I'm Michael Bennett. Seattle Seahawks. Look it up."
What a *******. You mean to tell me he goes out partying in Vegas without ID? Doubt that.
Anyways, the police were about as respectful to him as it gets in this situation and then his racist ass tries to double down and gut them in the media.

So this ******* decides he is going to make up this story to rile up the masses - Brilliant. Everybody is bent out of shape and lining up with pitchforks. But now that it is proven to be a complete fabrication, there is not one mea-culpa, just move on to the next injustice. People suck - they really really suck.
People would rather ***** and stir the pot than do something constructive and correct...... Let the bad people be bad and the good people be good, then we can take care of the actual problem children rather than paint the broad brush (and inaccurate) perceptions of "everyone" in a particular group.
