Did you see Benson's mug shot?

Believe Benson here. Friend from Texas told me a few months ago how he can't fish in lake travis (same lake Benson was on) anymore due to the fact police just harass you.

Weird coincidence.

This is exactly why this league should have some sort of rookie salary guidelines. How much has Benson made in the last 3 years and he's done what? A total of about 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns and has probably robbed the bears of about $20 million plus? Granted he got hurt last year, but the team has paid out top dollar for a guy who has proven time and again he does NOT belong in this league. ......

Roc, you're absolutely right; the league needs a rookie salary cap BADLY!!!

Tony Patch, who was not a passenger on Benson's boat, told WXAN-TV in Austin that he saw LCRA police "manhandling" Benson.

"As they were taking him up the dock, they stopped. He said, 'I am fine, I can continue walking,' and they put their legs behind his knees and knocked him over his knees and started hog-carrying him," Patch said, according to the report.

"They ended up -- I don't know why -- but laid him on his back, I heard him say, 'Please don't pepper-spray me, please don't pepper-spray me,'" Patch said, according to the report. "It was uncalled for, it was ludicrous, no point for it."

hopefully these cops get fired and thrown in jail for assault.

Take what Benson's buddies say about the incident with a grain of salt.

What I think is funny about the whole thing is the picture that Benson's friend gave to the newspaper. If you look at that picture, you see a bottle of vodka in the background, and beer. I don't know about you guys, but when we boat and have some drinks, we at least keep it halfway hidden.
