Where do you get that nine and a half times out of ten excessive force by police is "verified"?  Any source?  Verified by who?  The courts? Witnesses in their own opinion? Your own judgement? I've never heard such statistics anywhere. 

Meeting someone once in a social setting doesn't really tell you a whole lot about what someone's capable of or how they would react in certain situations. That said, Bennett does seem like a good guy based on what I've heard about him and I wouldn't be surprised if his version is closer to the truth than the police version. 

As for your last paragraph I agree. I'm not saying you're wrong on anything but I question how you come up with your opinions.
