I man with 3 small kids, and wife just lied about his families lives being threatened...and it's a lie?

But I'm supposed to believe "economic aniexty" for the highest grossing demographic group in the world?

These lies are crumbling before the worlds eyes every day, and it's tearing down all the institutions that have been built upon it.

The Bennett brothers are two of the loudest mouths in football, cry and whine about everything (even non-racial), and are pretty huge assholes overall.

sorry if i don't believe him. maybe if he said it he day of/next day I'd believe it, but for someone of him who speaks his mind every moment he can...2 weeks is eternity.

Yeah, pretty much. And he didn't say a gun was pointed at his kids or wife. Quit trying to paint some picture.

And of all the people to be threatened, it just happens to be someone who is so outspoken about this BS...not some random black guy.

How does he know that it was racially motivated? Or is he just making that assumption? Maybe he fit the profile of the guy they were looking for?

Were there other black folks around, and did the same thing happen to them?


Or was he the only black person in a sea of whiteys and got singled out?

Black people aren't put on this Earth to entertain you buttholes. "When a Black voice is raised in protest to oppression, those who are comfortable with our oppression are the first to criticize us for daring to speak out against it". Harry Belafonte

Some cops are assholes. I've been threatened with my life by police before. I've been sent to a hospital after getting my arse kicked by about 6 of NOPD's finest. And I'm white

In Vegas, On the night of the Mayweather fight, with thousands of cameras and celebrities around. Those annoying Paparazzi people get pics of celebs underwear, them picking their nose, what they wear everyday. All I'm saying is there has to be a photo, video, body camera, hotel camera or something.

i believe everything outside of the "blow his brains out", he'd have been so outspoken about it.

i also bet the club had a ton of black patrons as well, so how is it racially discriminating...?

While the video doesn't show the entire interaction, the video and his statement dont jive. I dont doubt that he perceived the interaction as one thing and the actuality being something different and benign akin to what countless of us have experienced.

That it appears that he may not have been running from the police, that may be the part you're missing, if I had to guess.

Both are the best humanitarians in the game and are also all pros, so you can definitely choose to ONLY HARP ON THE "NEGATIVES".


Perhaps he has the time, the money and the resources to thoroughly investigate how he would address this
