The NFL will not investigate Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett after Bennett accused Las Vegas police of racial profiling and using excessive force earlier in the week.

"There is no allegation of a violation of the league's personal conduct policy and therefore there is no basis for an NFL investigation," league spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in an email to the Las Vegas Review-Journal Thursday.

Earlier in the day, Steve Grammas, the president of the Las Vegas Metro Police Protective Association, issued a statement calling for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to investigate and punish Bennett after Bennett made what Grammas called "obvious false allegations against our officers.
