The Las Vegas Metro Police Dept. says body cam footage absolutely justifies why police took down Michael Bennett at gunpoint during a search for an active shooter ... saying it was NOT about race.
Bennett had claimed he was racially profiled in the early hours of August 27th -- when cops detained him outside the Cromwell hotel following the Mayweather vs,. McGregor fight.
The footage shows a 3 man police team -- made up of 2 hispanic officers and 1 black officer -- identify Bennett as a suspicious person who did not get down to the ground as ordered during the hotel sweep.
