The cops entered the casino, he was crouched behind a machine, he made eye contact with the cops and then ran.

Is there anything you don't understand?

If I see cops running into a nightclub where a "shooting" happened....I'm running towards them for help, not away LOL

Vegas Police Org. Rips Michael Bennett, Offended By 'False Racist' Accusations




Nevada's largest police interest group is calling out Michael Bennett -- demanding the NFL take immediate action against the NFL star for "falsely" claiming they racially profiled him.
The president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association fired off a letter to NFL commish Roger Goodell -- saying:


"On behalf of the rank and file members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, I request that you conduct an investigation, and take appropriate action, into Michael Bennett's obvious false allegations against our officers."


"While the NFL may condone Bennett's disrespect for our American Flag, and everything it symbolizes, we hope the League will not ignore Bennett's false accusations against our police officers."


The LVPPA insists the officers involved in the August 27 incident had "reasonable suspicion to believe Bennett may have been involved in a possible shooting investigation ... and they acted appropriately.


The Org. says Bennett's claims that he was detained only because he's a "black man in the wrong place at the wrong time" is "offensive to the men and women of law enforcement."




The LVPPA is calling on Roger Goodell to punish Bennett as a result.

The data question is important because data is how we validate reality. If you don't have data to back your claims, your claims are perceptions but not necessarily reality.

Your opinions are based on your perception but not reality.

Wait what? ???????


Whattt????

I'm done with you.


My opinions are based on perception???? HOW?!?!?!??!

All I have done is provide real life experiences that I have personally experienced. OR real life video footage caught on camera. So I have no ideea what perception you are talking about. Lmfao. Wow.


HOW and WHY.

You do understand you are what's wrong with society, right?

Everything I said is fact. They don't frequent around my area like they do in the city. That's fact. Now there is a reason for that. Even though the drugs where I live are even more common and stronger around the county. Why is that? But I am what's wrong with society for speaking straight truth. That shit don't hurt me like it does yall. Bobo

Data is biased. It doesn't tell you WHY and HOW. And that is all I care about. It tells you in a sentence how. But doesn't show you how. You are so quick to run to it because it makes it look like not that many black people are dying from cops. So in return you guys are going to be like omg black people are complaining again. But how many white people are there in this country compared to black people? I know there is more white people in the United States by a wideee margin. I don't see you posting those numbers. Probably because it doesn't support your claim.

Like I said, for white people to be killed by police.....you have to be one dumb mother fucker and not listen to anything they say. While, black people can be strangled to death, shot in the back, fight leading to gun shots. Ect... I've seen a white kid high on pcp/coke something and drunk physically assualt a cop and have nothing happen to him. If you are black you would be wrestled to the ground and maybe shot for no reason. Just real life shit.

You've stated on numerous occasions blacks are targeted by police for simply being black. I provided you stats that show less than 20 unarmed black individuals were killed by cops in 2016.

You give opinions here based on your jaded perception of reality. Most of us give you opinions surrounding fact-based statistical data. Who would you believe?

Wrong again. What I stated on numerous occasions is that police target minority areas aka poverty areas. I agree they do target them. But targeting doesn't strictly mean unarmed black people being killed by cops. Could mean many of things. Lol.

Less than 20 unarmed people of any ONE race killed by cops is a lot. That is a lot of unarmed people dead by cops.

My opinions are based on real life experiences that have unfolded with me at the scene. I was in it. I felt it. Real life experiences. Not sitting behind a computer in my home making opinions on every internet video. Nom I talk about real life shit that I have personally experienced. Yes I will believe myself over some misleading ass numbers that presents white people dying by cops more often. Well no shit, we populate this country more than any other race by a wide margin. Your facts suck.

Most likely if you were black you wouldn't do that. Because the cop would have you on the ground regardless just to make sure you weren't the shooter trying to blend in the crowd. So for safety precautions they probably put you on the ground regardless if you are black and running at them. Now if you are white and running at them, you probably are good you are right.


Like someone said in here....cops are programed to think big black guy = danger. White woman=cake walk.

Doesn't matter if they were looking for a black guy. They are way more aggressive and assuring if they see a black guy come out. They want to make sure they make it home. I get that. But just because he's black, cops get afraid and thats why black people die at hands of police unarmed. Because police are way more nervous and scared dealing with black people. So they want to make sure they make it home so they use whatever force makes them feel safest. It's just human nature. If you see two hooded black guys at night walking down the same street as you compared to two white guys with hoods walking down the same street as you....you will automatically be more scared of the black guys. It's human nature. But cops need to use the same resistance as they do with white people. They are trained professionals. It starts from who trains them and what their morals are.

Literally nothing you ever say on this forum makes any goddamn sense.

There are hundreds of black men in that casino. Why'd they pick out Bennett? Maybe because he ran?

His lawyer has already said the cops didn't profile him. What else do you want?

You are quite possibly the dumbest poster at the RX if you believe this is remotely true.

Again, where do I say anything about Bennet?

I am speaking in general. I don't give a rats ass about this one single incident about Bennett. Means nothing to me because shit happens far worse than that everyday. I don't think it was something he should have made such a big deal about personally.

Not all cops. But the majority, that is the case.

"targeted by police" is not the same as getting killed by a cop
how is your statistic relevant?
