NFLa s Michael Bennett alleges excessive force by Las Vegas police

Pro football player Michael Bennett is considering a lawsuit, he said on Wednesday, after he was held on the ground, handcuffed and threatened by Las Vegas police last month because he is African-American. Bennett, a Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman, said on Twitter he was headed back to his hotel on Aug. 26 after the boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor when he heard what sounded like gunshots and joined others in running away.
