It was clear from reports that Bennett was running from the scene of a shooting, or from the sound of gunshots. Obviously this doesn’t mean he was in any way involved in the shooting. But just as obvious is the fact that police arriving on the scene would want to stop the fleeing Bennett and question him. When blacks have these little contretemps with the cops, they bear 95% of the blame when things go poorly.
And now the head of the Las Vegas police union is demanding an apology from the player.
“Now more so than ever,” said Steve Grammas, president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
So the police union is looking for an apology from the NFLPA union ... go ahead and hold your breath until you get one.
I had know idea the officers involved in this incident were Hispanic and black, but again it doesn’t make a difference.
There were reports of a shooting and they arrive to see a man disobeying their orders to get down and fleeing the scene. Of course he would be detained....white, black, Asian, or pink. And of course any police officer, white, black, Asian, or pink would have detained him.
By the way, I don’t Blame Bennett for fleeing the scene. He thought a dude with a gun was out and about and he didn’t want to be around if the bullets started flying. He probably didn’t listen to the police because he was in a panic. I totally get all of it. Everything in this scenario is reasonable until Bennett stars crying racism. It just gets so old.....
Exactly, who wouldn’t be running away from gunshots?
Was every runner stopped though?
