Las Vegas Police: Video Undercuts NFL Star’s Racism Claims [VIDEO]

DC: The Las Vegas police department released video footage on Friday which it says contradicts NFL star Michael Bennett’s claim that he was detained by officers last month because he is black.

Bennett, a defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks, was detained early on the morning of Aug. 27, after reports of shots being fired outside of the Cromwell casino. Bennett was in town for the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor boxing match.

After the incident, in which police were looking for a person who fired a gun, Bennett released a statement claiming that he was targeted by police because of his race. He also said that he one of the officers who apprehended him pointed a gun at his head warning that he “would blow my fucking head off.”

“The Officers’ excessive use of force was unbearable,” Bennett wrote in a Sept. 6 statement. “I felt helpless as I lay there on the ground handcuffed facing the real-life threat of being killed.”

But footage from a casino where the shooting occurred, along with police body cameras, showed that the officers were justified in apprehending Bennett, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said at a press conference on Friday.

“I applaud those officers that night who did not wait to see what was happening. They instead went bravely in,” Lombardo told reporters.

  1. Was I the only one who heard a high pitched whiny little bitch in the video?

    Gee Man, no wonder he stooped so low and played the racist card, I’d do anything to cover up all that whining of this big bad defensive end.

    Michael, the next time they play the National Anthem, keep your whiny ass seated, you aren’t worthy to stand with the men and women who served this country and has allowed you to whine, allege racism and degrade the US.

  2. Bennet and his lawyer having been shown to be liars will now double down on the lie while tossing the race card again. The NFL is just a sewer mostly filled with under-educated, privileged haters. By the by, I’m sorry to say that Kevin Glenn and some other US players given a home in the CFL is starting to bring that crap up here. Maybe we ought to get some owners and a commisioner with guts and change to rules to max out US players to 50% from the current 70%.

  3. Um, he is a Nigger. Noone cares who he is or what he supposedly does. If ANY cop on this Planet stops him, he better suk a dik and be glad he is allowed in the USA, Fooking Nigra.
