If there's one lesson we all learned yesterday, it's to look both ways before you cross the street.
OT-PGA Tour
- Thread starter BlueMist24
- Start date
Here’s a wild and crazy thought. Cops deal with jackasses each and every single day and have a terribly tough job. And some law enforcement officers have absolutely no idea how to do their job and make situations way worse by their actions. Both of those can be, and are, true.
There's no bodycam footage, but (from the link you posted):
"Greenberg said he didn't have certainty on whether Gillis was wearing a body cam at the time of the incident, but added that there was a 'fixed camera' across the street during the arrest and footage will be released in the coming days."

Not having the body cam on is another epic police fail here.
The camera across the street will tell more of the story though if good quality.
Still suspect this ends up with a sweet deal for the rich guy and he probably makes a large charity donation to the charity of Lewisvilles choice.
If this happened to any of us we would already be buried beneath the jail no matter what really happened. Lifestyles of the rich and the famous indeed.

The PGA, Valhalla, Louisville Metro PD, and city of Louisville are extremely lucky Scheffler is enough of a stand up guy to stick around and play. Instead of withdrawing from the tournament. I would have been gone the second i got out of jail and would have been making a list of who i was gonna sue and or get fired.
I agree. However, by taking the high road, Scottie is doing what’s best. The lone cop will come out looking like a prick.
If he blew past a cop that was partially in front of or holding onto the side of his vehicle telling him to stop....the cop that got sent to the hospital will be much more likely to sue Sheffler and he will be coming back to the Ville against his will. Sheffler's lucky they let him out of jail in record time considering the charges.
Time will tell where this goes.
The cop fell and busted his *** trying to be a hard ***. He should have backed off but was too embarrassed and tried to save face. The charges will be dropped. You’re gonna be wrong about this like you are about so many other things. Makes me feel pretty good about my view of it actually.
5 out 5 cop haters agree with you. Nothing to be proud of.
Just remember that next time you need a cop....Call a golf pro instead.
The first link has two videos, but neither are very clear.
Louisville PD: Scottie Scheffler Incident

They are clear enough to see that the cop didn't get dragged. He ran after that vehicle pretty well to have sustained the injuries he claimed. We also can plainly see the vehicle is marked as a PGA courtesy vehicle which debunks all of the claims that Scheffler wasn't in a marked vehicle.
These charges need dropped ASAP. Otherwise, I expect the lawyer to make the case that Scheffler may have won the PGA had it not been for this incident. Shot over par for the first time in a long time on Saturday, and only finished 5 or 6 shots back. Replace Saturday's round of 75 with 69, and there it is. Not to mention Louisville's reputation and ability to host major golf events in the future.
To me it is also pretty telling that Gillis was the only one running after the vehicle after he was allegedly dragged. To me that makes it one of 2 possible scenarios. 1.) He wasn't actually dragged. or 2.) His coworkers do not like him enough to come to his aid after he was "assaulted".
I wonder if any of the people in this thread who laughed at those of us who refuse to give cops the benefit of the doubt anymore will come admit they were wrong. This has played out exactly like we said it would. The cop escalated the situation, didn't get dragged by the car, is responsible for his own "injury", and lied on the police report.
"Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground. Detective Gillis suffered pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knee...Detective Gillis' uniform pants, valued at approximately $80 were damaged beyond repair."
Give me a goddamn break. And this wasn't just one bad cop. Every single cop who was there saw what happened and went along with the fake story.
And I'll say it again. If this was not Scottie Scheffler, and was instead a random nobody, the cop would have just ruined their life by lying about what happened and charing them with felony assault of a police officer. And that happens every day in this country.

As predicted this was all a bunch of BS. Another Louisville cop who got mad his authority wasn’t adhered to, and made a huge spectacle out of nothing. Of course the video shows that he wasn’t dragged, he entered the vehicle and grabbed him illegally. That’s why people have less respect for cops anymore because of officers like him. That’s why he didn’t turn his body cam on.

His record already shows he probably should have been dismissed but like usual the bad ones stay too long before something terrible happens.
Damn right especially someone who couldn’t afford to defend himself like he can and have the news on it all day either. POS.
He’s wants that $80 so bad he even lied about them in the police report. How did they even get ruined when he didn’t get dragged?
I’m guessing he tripped on the median chasing after Scottie and got embarrassed/butthurt and that set the whole thing off.
I can see that. I figured he was butthurt he didn’t listen to him. That’s really why he arrested him.
