An individual later identified as Bennett was seen crouched down behind a gaming machine as the officers approached, he said. Once Bennett was in the officers' view, he quickly ran out of the south doors and jumped over a wall into traffic.

hmmm, Sounds like the basically just picked him out of the Pew during the Our Father and cuffed him on the ground...fucking racists.

That's the kind of reckless, maximum-effort play that Pete Carroll cultivates in Seattle, and why the Seahawks are perennial defensive leaders in the NFL. Hope TT is paying attention.

So when he heard gun shots he ran like everyone else...what a thug!

Didn't see anything about gun shots when they approached him and he knew they saw him he ran.

Was waiting for someone to post this...of course the arresting officers body cam was turned off and now the cops are trying to play victims.

now the cops are trying to play victims.

I bet they win. Victims don't have a good QB.

So in a case of he said/they said, you side with Bennett automatically? I'd be more interested in the camera footage from the site.

Oh for fucks sake, stop trying to find 'the truth'

Either embrace your racism or your victimhood.

[mraynrand]

Did they beat him up real good so he can't play Sunday?

[Patler]

Can he really make his eyes do that? One up and one down?

Both of the arresting officers were minorities. Changes the perspective just a little bit.

Not to the whiners, they'll still spin it to fit their narrative.

Yes, because different minorities cannot possibly hold biased or racist attitudes about other minorities? Training and peer modeling don't have any effect?

Funny how running away from a slot machine and leaping over a road barrier makes sense if there were gunshots and seems more suspicious if he was running away from police. The statements don't really conflict. But I wonder how many were running through that room to the outside? How many were arrested?

Video would help, but we just have the aftermath since the two directly responsible didn't have on their body cams. Funny that they malfunction more often than radar guns.

I can tell you a couple things. First, if you jump that barrier, you will be tackled and probably kicked by the police. It won't matter your color. Any night of the week!

Second, I agree 100% with the body cams. But they don't malfunction. In the early days of "voluntary" cams in Las Vegas, the officers were instructed to turn them off during heated situations. Apparently they still do.

During the Cliven Bundy BLM (Land management, not Lives matter) standoff the 2 Federal officers testified on the stand that they turned their cams off because "things were getting heated". And they wondered why they can't get a conviction. (but good liberal troopers, they keep trying since its a bunch of white guys who have had 2 hung juries 11-1 in their favor). OOO....see, racism works both ways. 3rd trial is awaiting a date.

I saw the cops pass a LOT of black people in that video. Wonder why? Also, if Bennett had such an issue why did he tell the officers at the scene he understood? He was not actually arrested btw, just detained. I didn't see the excessive abuse Woodbuck makes up...er alleges. I hadn't heard of Bennett alleging any such thing.

Imho this is just another attention whore who makes EVERYTHING about race. He had nothing to say at the time, but figured if he waited til the next day and made a bunch of allegations he could get even more attention than he gets for sitting during the anthem.

Final note, the LVPD has penned and sent a letter to King Roger to investigate thou thoroughly and take appropriate action for the blatant lies Bennett told. I hope Roger does. Maybe he can find the video of Ray Rice and take action BEFORE he gets egg on his face this time.
