This seems more like a misunderstanding than something someone should be arrested for, but remember Bennett has been very outspoken about racial issues and the cops. This happened in Texas, so you shouldn’t be surprised.
This is about trying to silence a black man by using the gang known as the police.
A Harris County grand jury Friday indicted Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett for the felony charge of injury of the elderly for allegedly injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic who was working at NRG Stadium to control access to the field at Super Bowl LI, prosecutors said.
Bennett was in Houston in February 2017 to watch his brother, Martellus Bennett, play in the Super Bowl for the New England Patriots.
Immediately following the game, Bennett shoved his way on to the field where players were gathering to celebrate.
NRG Security personnel, including the 66-year-old disabled woman, told Bennett he had to use a different entrance for field access.
Instead, he pushed through them, including the woman who was part of the security team.
The charge, injury to the elderly, includes intentionally and knowingly, causing bodily injury to a person 65 years or older. It carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Why in the world would this carry up to a 10-year sentence? If he pushed the disabled woman, which can’t be proven, he should apologize, but 10 years in jail?
Something doesn’t seem right about that.
Cops are basically admitting they are out to get Bennett. Flip the page for their statement and how there is no video of the incident. The elderly woman didn’t have her wheelchair flipped over and just the whole disgusting press conference.
