Green Bay Packers tight end Martellus Bennett told reporters Wednesday he was brought to tears by the video of the incident between his brother, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, and police in Las Vegas.
"I didn't even know there was a video," Martellus said, per ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky. "I had to walk out of meetings because I broke down crying, just thinking about what could have happened, what could have been. It was just so close. You never know these days."
On Wednesday morning, Michael posted a statement on Twitter and said police in Las Vegas used excessive force when they detained him after responding to a report of gunshots in the area (warning: NSFW language):
TMZ Sports posted video of the incident, which shows Michael exclaiming that he wasn't involved in the apparent shooting.
