As I mentioned on here two days ago, it's starting to look more and more like Cedric Benson was roughed up by police (Lower Colorado River Authority) for no good reason. The one problem for Benson though was that the people that were defending him were his friends. Well, now there are more people joining in. A man named Toby Patch, who was simply a random guy standing around, happened to witness what happened to Benson. And he pretty much backs up Benson's claims 100%.
"It was uncalled for, it was ludicrous, no point for it," said Toby Patch.There's also the fact that Benson has apparently been pulled over six times by the LCRA for boat safety checks when he's gone out on the water.
Patch said what he saw at the Emerald Point Marina Saturday makes him distrust law enforcement. "It seemed to me they were manhandling him a little bit," Patch said. "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."
Then he said when the officers got Benson to the parking area, things really got out of hand.
"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.
It would sound to me like the authorities don't like Benson too much, and for no legitimate reason.
By the way, if I'm the LCRA, after hearing about Patch's statement, I'd be going to grab my checkbook. Because I'm about to get sued big time - and lose.
