The Las Vegas police union issued a statement calling for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to investigate and punish Seahawks star Michael Bennett after Bennett accused LVPD officers of excessive force and racial profiling.
In a Thursday letter, Steve Grammas, the president of the Las Vegas Metro Police Protective Association, urged Goodell to investigate Benentt's claims, which Grammas called "obvious false allegations against our officers."
Las Vegas police opened up an internal investigation after a Wednesday Twitter post in which Bennett accused an officer of pointing a gun at Bennett's head and threatening to kill him following what turned out to be false reports of an active shooter inside The Cromwell casino early on the morning of Aug.
