Another bullying arrogant cop. My cousin is a cop and one of the best people I know. But there are way too many like Detective Gillis, who should not be allowed to wear a badge or carry a gun.
I live in Minneapolis; a few years ago an Australian woman was gunned down by a dumb as rocks Somali cop who killed her from inside the cop car. Shot her in the guts. Her crime? Approaching a cop car with her lingerie on. The idiot cops “ panicked” at the sight of her and killed her. In a beautiful neighborhood with million dollar houses a block or two away.
What mistake was that? The mistake of "someone jumped on your car while it was moving and you stopped 20 feet later" crime? Perhaps consider this -- DON'T JUMP ON A MOVING CAR
@@miketeare8254 He disobeyed a cop? A cop yelled something at a car in the dark and rain from the passenger side of the car with the windows raised and the car continued driving slowly down the median when he was instructed to drive when said cop suddenly jumped on the side of his car -- and Scheffler disobeyed a cop? Wouldn't you have to first establish that Scheffler (or any sane person) understood what this jackass cop wanted him to do?
@@mrbarahona78 He wasn't he went around as they are told to do as pro golfers/media personal/ and other PGA members. He went pass and a dude jumped on his car, the fact he was able to stop that soon the officer is lucky he didn't slam on the gas thinking someone was trying to rob him. The events of the morning had everyone on edge, charges should be dropped, this was the police mistake. Own it, accept, say sorry, and let them move on
so you drag a law enforcement agent with your car? I have never been confused by directions of an officer, I'm sorry to hear you don't understand English.

He should have known that emotions would be high then he acts like a tool...
Sounds like Scheffler felt entitled to keep driving even though there was a cop attached to his car. 15 to 20 yards????? At the site of a pedestrian fatality accident??? Flashing Police Lights & Officers in Bright Yellow Reflective Jackets controlling traffic. Doesn't matter if the car was marked PGA of America. There was a fatality at the scene. He should've been asking the officers for clarification.
At 15 mph,. a car travels 15 yards in 2 seconds. How long does it take to realize that a jackass has jumped on your car and bring your car to a stop? At 15 mph, a car travels 7 yards to come to a stop -- so to travel the 8 other yards takes 1 second. SO Scheffler had 1 second to realize someone had suddenly jumped on the passenger side of his car in the dark and rain before hitting the brakes. WOW -- what a criminal
What's the misunderstanding the fact of the matter is another white privileged athlete ignored police direction barreling through a traffic control device where a tragedy took place almost killing a police officer he shouldn't be allowed to play I'm glad my children don't watch golf
FOIA the body cams of all officers on scene including others Scottie had contact with before this incident who may have waived him through. At most major events the athletes are escorted into the venue by the local police and if this wasn't the case that's a major failure of both the PGA and local police. They do this at every college & pro sports event. Every driver at the Miami GP F1 race 2 weeks ago was escorted by multiple police officers who were paid $80/hr overtime by F1. There's no reason for an officer to attach themselves to a car over a misunderstanding with the star of the show, the whole reason they are out there in the first place.
In the darkness of night, could it be reasonable to assume Schefler couldn't tell that scene and police presence were because of accident and not PGA-related?
Scheffler was told to stop. HE refused to stop. That is whyt he cfop attached himself to the car. Being the "star of the show" doesn't give him a frees pass to disregard an officer's command.
@@gloriarivera108 Doesn't matter. The cops were wearing bright yellow jackets and were clearly marked as cops. Scheffler was told to stop, he should have stopped. What happened with a previous coop is irrelevant.
Another example of white privilege sports athletes disrespecting our law enforcement officials while they're trying to do their job or a tragedy took place I'm glad my children don't watch golf
@cdl75 Cops often say "stop resisting" even when the person being arrested isn't. It's an automatic response to justify escalation. It's very much a bad apples situation but the bar clearly needs to be raised.
Shame on police officer and city which obviously exaggerated the charges. City got so much revenue and even that idiot officer’s yearly pay. Nowhere in any video Scotty is seen resisting or assaulting so called officer. Total shame to humiliate such a decent guy 😡😡😡
@jiggyv6139 I don’t know if you have followed this at all, but you are probably going to be highly disappointed if you think that’s what’s about to happen.
Let me help paint a better picture for you. Imagine a fatal death happens in a school zone. Police stopped all traffic in this school zone. And one entitled prick thought he was above the basic logic of traffic laws especially when it involves a fatality, goes into a the meridian gets apprehended by an individual. Disobeyed their commands, drags them 20 feet to get no where. Then says it was a misunderstanding. Lmao!
Someone was just killed by a vehicle, he was in a vehicle and did not follow police instructions. Why does a golfer deserve preferential treatment while police are conducting a death investigation? It's the South and police are usually a certain way there.
But if you didn’t realize he was a police officer because he already passed the accident in the scene. Somebody starts beating on your window on the side of the road at night and you don’t know exactly if it’s an officer or not you’re just gonna stop and comply that’s when you get carjack.
From what I heard earlier there’s only one way in and one way out of Valhalla. I can hardly believe this knowing the size of the anticipated crowds. Usually there’s a separate entrance for media and the golfers.
Yeah that was dumb. It's dumb when they do it for a drug dealer trying to escape its unbelievably dumb for a guy you TOLD to go through but he went a different way than you wanted him to
Golfer in a marked PGA vehicle who the cops were told were allowed to pass through. How does a cop create a felony situation for an incredible player. He drove around a bus to get through and the officer escalated the situation..Scott's lawyers will share their side of the story and hopefully get him completely off. This was probably someone's ego problem. I wasn't there but I am willing to bet it was escalated by the officer...
Perfect example of everything wrong with police in the United States of America. Incompetent. Trigger happy. Pathetic emotional intelligence. Escalatory. Underserving of the power given to them.
It depends where your at and who it is, I think. After watching a TON of body cam footage on TH-cam, you start to feel more sympathy for cops. But you ain’t wrong in some areas.
Your comment is idiotic. A pedestrian was killed this morning near the course. It was dark and raining, the police were trying to deal with a fatality investigation while simultaneously trying to manage massive traffic flow arriving for the tournament. Scheffler admitted he was confused and didn’t do what he was told. But somehow you get “trigger happy” and “pathetic emotional intelligence.”
No one is above the law ! No way you ride around a police barrier and drive off on a cop that’s literally hanging on your window telling you to stop. He deserves to go to jail like anyone else in that situation
So the cops are so incompetent that they can't even direct traffic. And then they want to put felony charges on somebody to cover their in competence. Sounds about right.
@TheOnlyCoop And what’s your interpretation? Scottie Sheffler just decided to break the law all of a sudden out of the blue? Have you seen video of that?
@@ChristopherLoupe-hh6bj my interpretation is he thought they were just rent-a-cops and he could just ignore them . He didn't realize they were actual cops until it was too late.
A perfect example of why the public don't like cops. I bet the world's best golfer never goes back to Louisville. This cop just cost the city a lot of money.
@@Stl.Cardinals Lets start with, his name is Scheffler not sheffler. Second, after listening to this you still don't get that this was nothing but a misunderstanding on Scotties part and the over aggressiveness on the cops part.
It's funny at least 2 here don't understand what the ultra rich and their attorneys can do vs what the avg black family and their attorneys can do..... If the latter can get them fired, arrested and sued, that department and cop is in due a WORLD of hurt. BIG TIME
Exactly. They said players and media can go thru then there's a bus in the meaning you have to go around but genius cop jumps on car that clearly reads PGA PLAYER on it for a " I didn't want you to go that way I wanted you to go that way"
@sandmage1950: They’re just saying that to mirror some reactions a black athlete might have gotten for being in a similar situation often people are quick to label thug, when really being arrested does not automatically make you a thug. So Scottie Scheffler is not a thug lol they are just indirectly addressing what I said earlier
He broke the law. Marked vehicle gives you a pass? No way. It is a terrible situation but maybe just waiting a few minutes may have been a good idea for Scottie.
Gotta love how they're trying their best to make him seem innocent. Sounds pretty obvious that a cop was there, and he was ordered to stop but he felt he was above the law.
@@TheLateSkeptic- Not if he was told to stop by a police officer as the bus involved in the accident was allegedly in the lane he was "supposed to be in".

But the golfer dude got some money and they gonna do everything in their power to get the felony charge dropped…… And that’s sad because he definitely earned it.
So Dirty Harry wasn’t wearing clothes that identified him as a cop and then jumps on Scheffler’s PGA labeled car heading into a PGA event? Great police work buddy. You’re a true hero 🙄
@@shorelyfe521 And then when he stops, the cop who told him to drive arrests him. The solution is for the PGA to never schedule any events in Kentucky -- the land of the ignorant
Pauliep, Boy is you stupid 🤦♂️ I'm pretty sure that the police were not standing there without their Police vehicles near by. Like very near. & He even said that he passed a accident involving a dead pedestrian right before he was stopped buy the guys wearing bright yellow vest.... Even a dummy would have put 2 & 2 together
Same for the cop. How could Scheffler, in the dark, under the rain, in the middle of a messy scene, know that the one guy was a cop?? The cop may as well have played « do you know who I am… in anonymous clothes » !!!!
Thats the lie losers like to tell themselves. Let me tell you a secret, it really does matter who you are. You aint flying on private jets, marrying super hot blondes , driving a chrysler 300 just because . You better get up early and make real money if you want to matter
Right -- and there is no question what he was supposed to "comply" with, right? Because you know what he was able to be heard inside that car and what anyone else had told him to do.

Approaching a cop car with her lingerie on. The idiot cops “ panicked” at the sight of her and killed her. In a beautiful neighborhood with million dollar houses a block or two away.
@@PianoUniverse of course he went to the hospital. He has to play up his “injuries” as much as possible so he can play the victim.
No one is above the law. Scotty Scheffler made a mistake and got arrested.. big deal move on
What mistake was that? The mistake of "someone jumped on your car while it was moving and you stopped 20 feet later" crime? Perhaps consider this -- DON'T JUMP ON A MOVING CAR
@@mikemontana3443 How about not obeying law enforcement? Why because he is a millionaire golfer.. you aren’t anti cop are you?
@@miketeare8254 He disobeyed a cop? A cop yelled something at a car in the dark and rain from the passenger side of the car with the windows raised and the car continued driving slowly down the median when he was instructed to drive when said cop suddenly jumped on the side of his car -- and Scheffler disobeyed a cop? Wouldn't you have to first establish that Scheffler (or any sane person) understood what this jackass cop wanted him to do?
@@mikemontana3443 The cop puts his life on the line everyday and because some golfer gets inconvenienced the cop is the jackass.. you are anti cop..

The events of the morning had everyone on edge, charges should be dropped, this was the police mistake. Own it, accept, say sorry, and let them move on
What an embarrassment to the PGA cops got out of power trip
This is bizarre to me. It does sound like there was a misunderstanding here. Directions officers give in situations like this arent always clear
so you drag a law enforcement agent with your car? I have never been confused by directions of an officer, I'm sorry to hear you don't understand English.
why didn't scottie just comply?! Back the blue!!!

Defund the Police
Official vehicle and the cops still did that please sue them
Sounds like Scheffler felt entitled to keep driving even though there was a cop attached to his car. 15 to 20 yards????? At the site of a pedestrian fatality accident??? Flashing Police Lights & Officers in Bright Yellow Reflective Jackets controlling traffic. Doesn't matter if the car was marked PGA of America. There was a fatality at the scene. He should've been asking the officers for clarification.
At 15 mph,. a car travels 15 yards in 2 seconds. How long does it take to realize that a jackass has jumped on your car and bring your car to a stop? At 15 mph, a car travels 7 yards to come to a stop -- so to travel the 8 other yards takes 1 second. SO Scheffler had 1 second to realize someone had suddenly jumped on the passenger side of his car in the dark and rain before hitting the brakes. WOW -- what a criminal
I would almost guarantee the cop was on a power trip and it could have been solved with a one minute conversation that was not escalated by the cop.
what a massive misunderstanding lol. this whole thing is dumb.
What's the misunderstanding the fact of the matter is another white privileged athlete ignored police direction barreling through a traffic control device where a tragedy took place almost killing a police officer he shouldn't be allowed to play I'm glad my children don't watch golf
This is unbelievably ridiculous.
Right dumb and shouldn't never happened
More like the golfer is dumb 😂 thinking he’s above the law, hope they throw the book at him, what a bafoon
Agreed, drop the charges and move on. Play ball.
FOIA the body cams of all officers on scene including others Scottie had contact with before this incident who may have waived him through. At most major events the athletes are escorted into the venue by the local police and if this wasn't the case that's a major failure of both the PGA and local police. They do this at every college & pro sports event. Every driver at the Miami GP F1 race 2 weeks ago was escorted by multiple police officers who were paid $80/hr overtime by F1. There's no reason for an officer to attach themselves to a car over a misunderstanding with the star of the show, the whole reason they are out there in the first place.
In the darkness of night, could it be reasonable to assume Schefler couldn't tell that scene and police presence were because of accident and not PGA-related?
Scheffler was told to stop. HE refused to stop. That is whyt he cfop attached himself to the car. Being the "star of the show" doesn't give him a frees pass to disregard an officer's command.
@@gloriarivera108 Doesn't matter. The cops were wearing bright yellow jackets and were clearly marked as cops. Scheffler was told to stop, he should have stopped. What happened with a previous coop is irrelevant.
You are so right!!!@@chriskay1449

He dragged the cop with his car and he went to the hospital.
Why aren't they screaming "Get on the ground, get on the ground, quit resisting, get on the ground"?
Because if he’d just fled the scene like rashee rice the charges would have been dropped
Because he's not resisting.

Get out of jail and head to the golf course….. I’m jealous
Shame on police officer and city which obviously exaggerated the charges. City got so much revenue and even that idiot officer’s yearly pay. Nowhere in any video Scotty is seen resisting or assaulting so called officer. Total shame to humiliate such a decent guy 😡😡😡

Let me help paint a better picture for you. Imagine a fatal death happens in a school zone. Police stopped all traffic in this school zone. And one entitled prick thought he was above the basic logic of traffic laws especially when it involves a fatality, goes into a the meridian gets apprehended by an individual. Disobeyed their commands, drags them 20 feet to get no where. Then says it was a misunderstanding. Lmao!
Not sure I'd want my tournament played here after this nonsense tbh
The PGA Championship will be played at Quail Hollow next year , , ,
Agreed, never again
Agree
Louisville does seem to have a cop problem
Someone was just killed by a vehicle, he was in a vehicle and did not follow police instructions. Why does a golfer deserve preferential treatment while police are conducting a death investigation? It's the South and police are usually a certain way there.
It does not matter who he is , no one is above the Law. Having said that it seems the officers over reacted as usual.
He thought he was above the law, typical smh

But if you didn’t realize he was a police officer because he already passed the accident in the scene. Somebody starts beating on your window on the side of the road at night and you don’t know exactly if it’s an officer or not you’re just gonna stop and comply that’s when you get carjack.

Golfer in a marked PGA vehicle who the cops were told were allowed to pass through. How does a cop create a felony situation for an incredible player. He drove around a bus to get through and the officer escalated the situation..Scott's lawyers will share their side of the story and hopefully get him completely off. This was probably someone's ego problem. I wasn't there but I am willing to bet it was escalated by the officer...
That was a professionally prepared statement.
Seems like he thought he was above the law.
Seems like cops are thirsty for conflict and escalation.
Talk about it
You can tell by the behavior of the cops that they instigated the whole situation
You're interpreting that because Scottie is white
Perfect example of everything wrong with police in the United States of America. Incompetent. Trigger happy. Pathetic emotional intelligence. Escalatory. Underserving of the power given to them.
It depends where your at and who it is, I think. After watching a TON of body cam footage on TH-cam, you start to feel more sympathy for cops. But you ain’t wrong in some areas.
Obey the law . He's a THUG 😅😅
Very embarrassing police reaction from my hometown. Mayor, Governor etc better be apologizing big time!
Totally agree. Seems like a brilliant example of police incompetence and overreacting.
Your comment is idiotic. A pedestrian was killed this morning near the course. It was dark and raining, the police were trying to deal with a fatality investigation while simultaneously trying to manage massive traffic flow arriving for the tournament. Scheffler admitted he was confused and didn’t do what he was told. But somehow you get “trigger happy” and “pathetic emotional intelligence.”
No one is above the law ! No way you ride around a police barrier and drive off on a cop that’s literally hanging on your window telling you to stop. He deserves to go to jail like anyone else in that situation
Do you actually think Scottie is going to prison in Kentucky?
He white … u see how much they trying to justify his actions
You do when other official PGA cars are going through!
Stupid. Uneducated comment.
@@BB-nw3mj jail and prison are two separate things. And no he will not go to prison. A ride to the jail house and charged is fair enough
So the cops are so incompetent that they can't even direct traffic. And then they want to put felony charges on somebody to cover their in competence. Sounds about right.
Gotta love how they throw a bunch of ridiculous charges at people so that they have to plea bargain out of a douchebag cop lawsuit.
