The NFL says there is "no basis" for a personal conduct investigation against Michael Bennett after the head of the union that represents Las Vegas police officers asked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to investigate and "take appropriate action" against the Seattle Seahawks defensive end for alleging officers racially profiled him in an incident after the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight on Aug. 26.

The letter written by Steve Grammas, president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, on Thursday comes a day after Bennett said he was detained "for doing nothing more than simply being a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“I hope to have a discussion with Commissioner Goodell so we can have a conversation about these allegations that our officers are racist and racially profiled Mr. Bennett,” Grammas said in a phone interview with USA TODAY Sports. “We don’t like players from the National Football League making false allegations, which, I feel, is a violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy.”

The NFL concluded there was no cause to launch any probe.

"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 USA TODAY Sports.

NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said in a tweet that there are "no grounds" for an investigation.

Las Vegas police undersheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters at a news conference Wednesday that his officers responded to a report of an active shooter situation at The Cromwell Las Vegas Hotel & Casino around 1:30 am PT on Aug. 27. Bennett was detained by officers --- one with a handgun pointed in Bennett’s direction --- because McMahill said Bennett was seen "crouched down behind a gaming machine" before Bennett ran and hopped fence.

While the police later confirmed no shooting had taken place, McMahill officers’ actions were warranted based on "the information we had at the time.”

“Our officers had reasonable suspicion, which is the constitutional standard, to detain Bennett until they could determine whether he was involved in the shooting,” Grammas wrote in the letter to Goodell. “Our officers, who are both minorities, had the legal right, an obligation, to detain Bennett based on the nature of the call and Bennett’s unusual and suspicious actions. Our officers did not detain Bennett because he was, 'a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time.'"

In a statement on Wednesday, Goodell said the league office “will support Michael and all NFL players in promoting mutual respect between law enforcement and the communities they loyally serve and fair and equal treatment under the law."
