Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett recently announced that he plans to sue the Las Vegas Metro Police Department after being detained at gunpoint after the Mayweather/McGregor fight on Aug. 27.

Bennett's attorney John Burris told Nightline that a lawsuit was likely coming after Bennett claimed police singled him out and pointed a gun to his head during an investigation into an active shooter report at a Las Vegas casino. Bennett posted about the experience on Twitter, writing that in that moment he thought he was going to die simply for being black.

Las Vegas police said Bennett was running and acting suspiciously at the time of the incident. In an interview with Nightline's Byron Pitts, Bennett said everything happened really fast and a lot of people were running.

“It felt like a movie almost because everything was happening so fast. People were like running, people were scared because nobody knew what was going on,” he said. Burris told Nightline that they were requesting police release all the videos related to the incident that night. 

Bennett said it was hard explaining the situation to his 10-year-old daughter, and we all know "the talk" about police brutality and racial profiling is never an easy conversation no matter the age. Bennett said the incident has drastically changed him.

“Every time I see my wife, I try to kiss her like it’s the first time we ever met,” Bennett said. “Every time I play with my daughters, I try to hold them like they were just born. Because I don’t know, and that situation right there let me know that it could happen at any moment."
