Uncoupling stupid police action from police state abuse says plenty about you too.
See how that works?

At 5:00 am a bus/shuttle hit and killed a pedestrian.
It was dark, raining and with police lights it had to be hard to see.
Scottie was coming through around 6:00 am. According to his statement, Scottie was following a police officers instructions. I don't know if there was another cop, was trying to stop him and Scottie didn't realize/understand what the cop was doing.
Cop grabbed the car door and got dragged down (brilliant move by the cop).
Scottie stops and the cops is screaming explicatives at Scottie and grabs him out of the car and slams him against the car and arrest him.
I'm normally on the polices side, but this looks bad for the police.
And how was a cop claim assault of an officer, when he gets drags after trying to grab a car?
frick that guy.

i suspect the teasip made his tee time because the louisville police probably gave him a police escort from jail house to golf course.

ESPN reported that he was indeed getting a police escort from the precinct, but no evidence of that was shown.

Scottie Scheffler on his arrest at PGA Championship: 'I was in shock.'
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – On Friday morning, Scottie Scheffler stretched in a jail cell, preparing for a round of golf he didn’t know he’d be able to play.
“I didn't know what time it was. I didn't know what was going on,” Scheffler said. “When I was sitting in like the holding cell, there was a TV there, and I could see myself on the TV.”
It was a bizarre theatre in the aftermath of Scheffler's stunning arrest Friday at the gates of Valhalla Golf Course following a horrific tragedy earlier in the morning.
John Mills, a tournament worker, was struck and killed by a shuttle bus outside Valhalla as he arrived to work at the tournament earlier Friday.
“I don't think that's getting talked about enough – or at all,” said golfer Collin Morikawa, who shot a 65 to take the tournament lead at 11 under before the PGA Championship’s 18-hole leader Xander Schauffele teed off in the afternoon.
On a tragic day that’ll go down as one of the strangest in golf history, Scheffler showed up with a jailhouse sandwich in his stomach and shot a cool 5-under-par 66 during Friday’s second round at the 2024 PGA Championship, bringing him to 9 under for the tournament.
Scheffler played in front of a massive, roaring gallery that chanted his name, shouted “Free Scottie” and offered all kinds of references to law enforcement.
Scheffler was charged as the result of an incident with a Louisville police officer that occurred as he was driving in to begin warming up for his round. In the citation report, Louisville Police said that Scheffler “refused to comply” with instructions and accelerated his vehicle, injuring an officer in the process.
Scheffler declined to get into the specifics of what led to his arrest except to say, “My situation will get handled. It was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding.”
News came as a shock to other golfers at Valhalla, since “I mean, Scottie is not one to get into trouble,” said Brian Harman, who played in Scheffler’s group.
Other golfers described problems getting into the course Friday morning. Valhalla has only one entrance, and it is located on a heavily trafficked highway. The PGA sent notification to golfers that Friday’s second round would be delayed after Mills’ death, which led to a larger police presence at the entrance. Some players – like Scheffler – were already on their way to the course.
Austin Eckroat said he got out and walked the final mile-and-a-half, asking his wife to drive the car into the club.
“It was a weird morning,” Eckroat said, “something I’ve never experienced. It was a tragedy followed by a weird incident.”
“I mean, it's dark. It's raining. Police lights everywhere,” golfer Harris English said. “It was very strange coming into the course this morning. … We had no idea what was going on. I mean, that could have been any one of us. We're all taking that same route coming into the club.”
Police handcuffed Scheffler, took him to jail, booked him – and then released him in time to return to Valhalla for his 10:08 a.m. tee time. He would make six birdies and only one bogey. A remarkable performance, given the circumstances.
"I feel like my head is still spinning,” Scheffler said. "… I definitely never imagined ever going to jail, and I definitely never imagined going to jail the morning before one of my tee times, for sure.”
Scheffler opened his post-round press conference by sending sympathies to Mills’ family: “I can’t imagine what they’re going through.”
As for the arrest, Scheffler said “I was never angry. I was just in shock” and confused at what was transpiring as he was being jailed.

The violent enforcement arm of the state deserves to be viewed under a microscope. They deserve all of the scrutiny they get and more. Don’t like it? Find a new job.

I'm not trying to be dramatic by saying this but I truly believe most every cop is playing hockey with a warped puck. They have to have at least mild mental issues and a serious lack of self awareness. They continue to make asses out of themselves and send public perception further into the toilet. Why aren't there any cops demanding that their coworkers stop making all of them look like absolute pieces of shite?

Scottie shot -6 today. Amazing to think about.
Also heard the mayor was involved in his release so that raises forther wuestikns.
Anyone giving odds on nothing more being done on this? Charges quietly dropped and everyone moves on.
I'm sure, much like the fbi, there are a few good ones but for gods sake there are so many bad ones that the herd needs to be culled

Scheffler's Defense Team Responds To Charges:
…Scheffler's lawyer Steve Romines said: 'They will either be dropped or we will go to trial, because Scottie didn't do anything wrong. So we're not interested in any sort of settlement negotiations or anything like that. It was just a big miscommunication.'
The police report said Scheffler failed to comply with instructions and then drove away from an officer, Bryan Gillis, causing the latter to be dragged along by the two-time Masters winner's car.
The charges against Scheffler were listed by local police as second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer.
It remains to be seen if the charges will be dropped, though the mayor of Louisville, Craig Greenberg, has stated there was no body-cam footage leading up to the 6.01am arrest.
'The officer did not have body- cam footage turned on during the incident,' he said.
'We will release footage that we have (but) to my knowledge, we have not yet discovered any video of the initial contact between Officer Gillis and Mr Scheffler.'
The mayor declined to comment on the possibility of Scheffler being cleared. 'Right now, the case is in the hands of our county attorney and I will let the legal process play out,' he said.
While Scheffler has refused to discuss the specifics of the incident that led to his dramatic arrest, and necessitated him warming up for the second round in a jail cell, Romines has offered fresh details.
He said: 'There had been a traffic fatality down the road and so there were different traffic directions going on and traffic control officers were advising different things. Scottie was advised by one officer to go around the traffic and turn left into the facility.
'But the officer who charged him obviously didn't know that. So, that's where the miscommunication occurred.
'It was kind of a perfect storm. One thing needs to be clear — he didn't drive through any accident scene, or through any investigation. None of that happened.'

Unless the DA can provide evidence otherwise, we should assume this is EXACTLY what transpired:
'There had been a traffic fatality down the road and so there were different traffic directions going on and traffic control officers were advising different things. Scottie was advised by one officer to go around the traffic and turn left into the facility.
'But the officer who charged him obviously didn't know that. So, that's where the miscommunication occurred.

There was some reporting today that the charges will be dropped, as was always going to be the finale of this, and everyone will move forward and try to put it behind them. Scottie wants it to go away, the LMPD wants it to go away, it will go away.

There needs to be harsh punishments for cops like this but unfortunately the 8th amendment prevents it. Pulling all of his teeth (without anesthesia) to match his empty brain would be fitting.
