An arrest warrant was issued today for NFL star Michael Bennett stemming from an incident at this last year’s Super Bowl where Bennett allegedly injured a 66-year-old paraplegic woman who was working security:

Bennett attempted to get onto the field after the game, but was stopped by the elderly and disabled security guard, whom Bennett allegedly pushed out of the way:
District Attorney of Harris

According to the report, police witnessed the shove and heard Bennett say, “I could own this motherf*cker”:

If Bennett’s name sounds familiar, it should. He was caught lying after accusing Las Vegas cops of profiling him in 2017:

NFL player Michael Bennett, who has trashed the police and America, has been charged with a felony for allegedly harming an elderly woman.
He faces ten years if convicted.

More from Clay Travis, September 2017:
Yesterday afternoon the Las Vegas police, after reviewing 193 different videos of that night, released a two minute video that proves their officers didn’t racially profile Bennett, didn’t use excessive force, and treated Bennett with respect throughout their interaction. (Bennett’s defenders, a tiny group compared to the people who initially believed him, are complaining because this video is edited, but that’s because it’s spliced together from multiple cameras to give a coherent picture of what transpired that night.)
But to Shaun King and other SJW, Bennett’s latest legal troubles are “complete BS”:
I call BS on the arrest of Michael Bennett for felony assault.
Complete BS.
I literally had to call to ask what they were accusing him of.
They are saying 14 months ago his hand touched a woman's shoulder at the Super Bowl as he walked on to the field.
That's it.

And from Tariq Nasheed:
They are putting this bogus charge on Michael Bennett to send a message to OTHER Black NFL players to stop calling out white supremacy, or they will use the system of white supremacy to target other Black players who get too “uppity”

Alrighty then! So, the NFL should send the message that large men can just push 66-year-old disabled women around with impunity?
