Seahawks' Bennett says he was victim of excessive force, racial profiline by Las Vegas police

SEATTLE — Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett said he was a victim of excessive force and racial profiling by Las Vegas police during an incident Aug. 27, adding that he was held on the ground with a gun to his head.

“It was a traumatic experience for me and my family,” Bennett said Wednesday before practice at the Seahawks’ facility in Renton. “It sucks that the country we are living in now sometimes you get profiled for the color of your skin.”

Bennett was in Las Vegas to attend the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight on Aug. 26.
