Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett has accused Las Vegas Police of racism and excessive force during his detention after a report of a shooting in a casino.
The NFL star was in Las Vegas on Aug. 27 to see the Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor boxing match. After the fight, Bennett stopped in at the Cromwell casino.
Bennett had the bad luck to choose a casino where guests heard and reported a sound similar to gunshots. Police were called at 1:30 a.m. to respond to an assault and battery with a firearm, and with an active shooter in the casino.
