But it’s just a joke you guys. Also if we stop whomever did this it’d likely ruin his life chances and we don’t want to do that. /s

You can’t be arrested for your speech. This is EXACTLY what “freedom of speech” means. Even if the government (or its agents, the cops) “don’t like” what you say, they CANNOT arrest you for it.

I said in my reply to an earlier article that it was a hell of a coincidence that Mr. Bennett was targeted out of all the Black people running. Again, with Mr. Bennett’s issue there’s no law that says you have to stand for the anthem. I don’t hear anybody complaining about motherfuckers sitting on their asses during…

He’s also a stupid idiot (yes, both). I’ve been a craftswoman, and let’s face it, we’ve all met people you just know are going to be more trouble than they’re worth... Or just rub you the wrong way. Instant dislike can be a thing.

As Bennett was not arrested or charged for any crime, we can safely assume he has not committed any crime. Why then does this letter attempt to paint him as a criminal and a villain in this scenario?

That’s chickensht of the cops to throw the flag comment in there.

“Yeah we fucked up, so let’s pull at the fake patriotic heartstrings...” Bennett can afford a high powered attorney and this is the best strategy these thugs came up with.

A literal embrace of prejudice. Again. I wish the NYT or WaPo would just use the headline “BIGOT CALLS FOR...” whatever whatever. It’s not opinion, it’s fact.

I love how the only thing they seem to care about is that their cops got called racist. Like, are they claiming it would be OK to treat people the way they treated him, as long as they’re not racially profiling? “Our cops are power-tripping thugs who shove guns in people’s faces after they’re on the ground and…

I think the comment from the NFL was weak. It should have been stronger and saying they stand with Bennett and the videotape suggests the shzt was straight racial profiling! Period! Weak!

Except, get his, there was no shooting. It was a statue that fell over, loudly.

It’s getting harder to convince me that they didn’t single him out on purpose for his own activism and support of Kaepernick.

Also, Bennett is listed on the seahawks roster as 6-4 274. His 40 isn’t great for a DE, but if he doesn’t want to be caught, they would have to shoot him.

LVPD: We can’t release anything because the investigation into our actions isn’t complete.
Also LVPD: Hey, NFL, could you investigate this guy for disparaging us for our actions...and disrespecting the flag and ‘Murica? Thanks!

Welp, as someone who still doesn’t know what happened there, let’s just hope that no more videos are released.

In fairness to the LVPD, there’s no way they could’ve known that black guy could afford a lawyer...

Cops arent even trying to hide what theyre about anymore, not that they ever did but this is a special level of arrogance. Also going to be interesting to see how sportswriters attempt to continue to find ways to criticize anthem protests after this bullshit.

That’s chickenshit of the cops to throw the flag comment in there.
