RE: Seahawk Michael Bennett vs. Las Vegas PD

Shots were fired in the casino somewhere, everyone started to get out and the police were called. Below is what transpired after that...
After clearing the casino, a team of officer's started heading toward Drai's nightclub, and while they were on the way there, they located Bennett.
"As they moved toward the nightclub, an individual later identified as Bennett was seen crouched down behind a gaming machine as the officers approached," McMahill sald. "Once Bennett was in the officer's view, he quickly ran out the south doors, jumped over a wall onto Flamingo Road East of Las Vegas Boulevard into traffic."
According to McMahill, the officers viewed Bennett's actions as suspicious, which is why he was handcuffed.
"Due to Bennett's actions, and the information the officer's had at the time, they believed that Bennett may have been involved in the shooting and they gave chase," McMahill said. "Bennett was placed in handcuffs and detained while officers determined whether or not he was involved in the incident."
In his statement, Bennett said his time in custody felt like an "eternity" due to the brutal way that the officers treated him.
McMahill said the Seahawks defensive end was in custody for 10 minutes.
"He was detained for approximately 10 minutes and released," McMahill said.
McMahill also added that Bennett told the officers that he "understood" why the situation happened after Vegas police explained it to him.
"Mr. Bennett, at the scene, had the incident explained to him by a supervisor and he said that he understood and that he had no problem with what the officers did," McMahill said.
News for everybody....I don't care if you are black, white, red, brown, yellow, or polka-dot and spots if law enforcement is investigating a shots fired call and you act in a suspicious manner like described above and they see you you are more likely than not going to be detained and probably it's going to be at gun point.
