The Michael Bennett Disinformation Campaign

Seattle Seahawks defensive player Michael Bennett has made himself a major figure when he claimed, nearly two weeks after the fact, that he was grabbed by police and cuffed after the Floyd Mayweather-Conor MacGregor match in Las Vegas; Bennett claims he was targeted because he is black, that an officer threatened him by saying he's "blow your f----ng head off," and that he'd obeyed officer commands when a gunman threat suddenly erupted at the area where Bennett was leaving.





The Vegas police in response to Bennett's public accusation released video evidence of the incident showing Bennett disobeying officer commands, hiding and trying to flee - in manner that one could interpret as resisting arrest - and with the officer involved using kid-glove treatment on Bennett, being strikingly careful at applying cuffs and nowhere using any force on Bennett.   Nowhere does this heavily recorded incident support any of Bennett's claims, especially with regard to his claim of a violent threat by an officer; even a claim an officer pulled a gun on Bennett is disproven by closer examination showing a taser unholstered.

And Bennett's claim he was targeted for being black was refuted by his own lawyer, saying it was not racially motivated - the cops were trying to protect an audience that was mostly black, as were the two officers involved with Bennett.


It continues a trend of dishonesty by Bennett, who sided publicly with Colin Kaepernick's anthem protest and put his foot in his mouth when he spoke out for Palestinian savages and seemed surprised when people objected.   Bennett wants to pretend he was targeted for being black - and the facts don't support him.   So his word carries no credible weight.

Already Bennett rumpswabs have made the claim the Vegas Police Department and its union - this after the Vegas police union complained to Roger Goodell about his public support of Bennett despite escalating refutation of Bennett's story - was launching "a smear campaign."   It's a sign of losing the argument on facts that his attorney claims this.

Bennett like all leftists is a waste of time and it's past time he be ignored as a liar.
