That's sobering. I don't blame him for being pissed. But your subject line is misleading. It should say "For those wondering why Michael Bennett is kneeling"

I've talked to too many upstanding citizens with high melanin content who have had similar experiences to disagree. -

While we are throwing out anecdotes, my brother in law is half black and in the past two years has been cuffed and put in the back of a cop car twice for crimes he didn't commit. He's smart enough to stay calm and let them sort things out, but it's easy to see how things could escalate.dnc said:

Most black people don't get the benefit of the doubt with police. That's reality. -

@DerekJohnson thinks this is an isolated incident and that all the other negroes need to stop complaining and stand up for the anthemBrickSquad said: -
It happened in Vegas... there's for sure going to be more footage of this that comes out from security sources or others. It happened over a week ago, which means Bennett probably now knows he has the evidence to back up what he's saying.
Pretty damning overall and I wouldn't be shocked if more Seahawks players kneel with him. -
Guarantee there will be a bunch of them kneeling, if not all of them after this.NEsnake12 said:It happened in Vegas... there's for sure going to be more footage of this that comes out from security sources or others.

I don't think that's damning evidence though. All it does is confirm Bennett was handcuffed, it doesn't confirm innocence nor brutality.
But I'm chinclined to believe Bennett's story. -
I was saying that there's probably more footage besides the TMZ stuff. Security cameras and whatnotdnc said:
