Buddy…I’m about as back the blue as you get. I also have family that are law enforcement. So try a different angle
Holy sheet. Scheffler detained by cops
- Thread starter aTotal360
- Start date
So you’re full fledged “he’s right, no questions asked”? Not a doubt in your mind
Not doubting you, but that's a very detailed description of what happened. I'm assuming you weren't there.
Where is your info coming from?
Other players, caddies, and tour staff
Again, it may be the exact way it happened.
But you do at least see that players, caddies, tour staff and msugolf might fall on the side of the golfer??
If you jump on a slow moving car because you’re incensed he didn’t obey your orders, that doesn’t speak against testosterone filled.
I want to know how much it cost Nike to ensure that the body cam footage was disappeared?
Ditto.
Maybe the footage is deceptively edited and the "drag" occurred just before the clip starts.
But if that's it...I wouldn't be surprised.
That’s what I’m wondering as well. Did that all occur before he made it to that point where you can see.
Looks like he thought Scotty had a box of donuts in the car.
Looks like you can't see anything before he chased him down because of busses (I assume that's what is blocking most of the shot? the tops of busses?).
But it definitely doesn't match what has been said. Either the guy jumped on Scheffler's car and Scheffler kept going, the guy fell off/got drug, then he got up and chased Scheffler down.
Or the guy never got drug at all and he just lied.
I'm guessing the latter is more likely? If Scheffler had kept going after the guy jumped on the vehicle, I assume his initial story would have said something about having a random person with no clear identification jump on his car and him continuing on because he was unsure who it was. To not get ahead of that story on the assumption that you would be able to make body camera footage disappear and keep any witnesses from talking about it just seems absurd.
Seems much more likely that there is just a random drama queen cop. That scenario only requires one stupid person. The former requires that Scheffler be stupid and also having nobody with sense advising him.
I suspect that Officer Fife was involved.
I think all that is is the footage of what happened AFTER the whole incident occurred and cops were chasing him down afterwards.
The cop has been disciplined by the Louisville Police Dept for not turning his body camera on during the incident. These charges will be dropped and everyone will try and forget it ever happened.
This Yahoo article (I know) has 2 videos embedded in it of the incident. I honestly can't see anything crazy going on other than tons of confusing police presence. The first video is the unedited version of the X video. It's just not zoomed in. The bus on the left blocks most of it. I wasted about 10 mins of my life watching the second video and supposedly the incident happens 2 minutes before Scheffler is escorted away in handcuffs (25:15). Again, I don't see anything crazy, but maybe I'm wrong.

A police officer escalating a misunderstanding and over reacting? Then realizing he forked up and lying about it to try and cover his ***?
Can’t be that never happens

Not a good look for the cop. Nothing about that video would lead you to believe SS was intentionally disobeying orders by the cop. He came to a complete stop as soon as the cop appeared to hit his window and then was in handcuffs without any incident very shortly after stopping. Does not appear to the actions of someone who was not obeying commands just 30 seconds earlier.
My best guess…. This is a cop who got pulled out of bed at early hours in the morning and was not having a good day.
The story is SS was told stop. He did. Then attempted to drive off. This video looks to document the drive off. Which doesn't show the cop being dragged. It shows the cop beat the front of his car. Which leads me to believe your last paragraph.
With all that said, this will be completely dismissed. Or busted down to a misdemeanor. It Should be dismissed all together.
Yeah, like others have said, this should have been resolved on the scene. Going to end up being embarrassing for all parties. I can honestly see it being a misunderstanding on both ends.
I’ve watched the video multiple times. I don’t see this being embarrassing for SS. He should sue the **** out of Louisville PD and this cop personally for falsifying a statement (False Claims Act).
I do think it is important that he was in contention for the title of the PGA tournament until this event really started to blow up publicly.
Now knowing this cop has numerous past disciplinary actions on his record only solidifies my opinion.
How’s that apology looking for Scottie?
Scheffler: 'No ill will' to cop as charges dropped
Charges have been dropped against Scottie Scheffler stemming from his arrest as he was driving to the PGA Championship earlier this month.

Yuup. Reminds me of Cohen bringing up the Mike Leach cartoon issue weeks after it was forgotten about.
Prosecutors are loathe to drop charges that the cops don't want dropped. They know they'll wind up questioning a violent suspect and find their police escort/protection has quietly disappeared, leaving them alone and vulnerable. Prosecutors run the show a lot less than people think.
Can't sue cops personally. They have qualified immunity.
I was right, just was wrong about who was playing stupid games
