Video released of Scheffler incident
- Thread starter 18IsTheMan
- Start date
The cop said he was dragged, at which point Scheffler stopped and he removed him from the vehicle. Video does not corroborate that.
The cop has already been disciplined for not having his body cam on.
If that is the whole incident, that cop should be suspended if not worse, and then that begs the question, what else does that cop exaggerate or embellish about, what about previous cases?
And then why has the Police Department refused to drop it? Why did the other police officers not do anything

Looks like he has a little Barney Fife in him.

The police officer who put world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler in handcuffs has a lengthy disciplinary record that includes multiple suspensions, employment records revealed Thursday.
Detective Bryan Gillis took Scheffler into custody May 17 when the golfer sought to enter Valhalla Golf Club as police investigated a nearby fatal accident.
Scheffler has maintained he was following police directions on how to drive into the club. But arresting police said Scheffler did not follow directions.
Further complicating the matter, city officials said Gillis did not activate his body worn camera when he encountered Scheffler.
The only footage, so far, appears to come from a squad car dashboard camera and a roadside pole and both sets of video don't clearly show what led to Scheffler being placed in handcuffs.
Louisville Metro Police Department released that footage and Gillis' personnel records Thursday.
Gillis was suspended for five days for "conduct unbecoming" for driving "an intoxicated civilian in your police vehicle" and "proceeding to doing 'donuts' in a business parking lot," according to a Sept. 18, 2013, memo by then-Chief Steve Conrad.
He was also disciplined for pursuing "a vehicle that did not commit a violent felony or wanted on a warrant," according to a June 9, 2021, memo by then-Chief Erika Shields.
Gillis was found "at fault" for accidents on May 22, 2021, and Aug. 6, 2019, that led to oral reprimands.
Gillis was also found to be "at fault" for a Dec. 1, 2013, accident that led to an oral reprimand and mandatory driver's training.
The officer was hit with one-day suspensions in both 2010 and 2011 for failing to show up to court. That was followed by a four-day ban in 2012 for continuing to miss court appearances, documents showed.
Gillis did, however, receive a commendation for being among seven officers who went "above and beyond" the call of duty in a "high-intensity traffic enforcement detail" that "culminated in you issuing a staggering 108 citations (114 charges, 1 DUI arrest) out of 201 citations issued during the four-hour operational period" on Sept. 16, 2021.
A representative of the River City Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 614, the union that would represent LMPD detectives, could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday.

There are too many weapons-grade morons in law enforcement. I guessing the whole LMPD could use a shake up.
The below makes me wonder how many citations this guy made up and issued to innocent people to make a quota

Yes! The not showing up for court incidents may be an indication of him knowing the charges wouldn't hold up in court. I bet that happens often across the country. If the officer doesn't show up, aren't the charges dropped? If this goes forward to the June 4th court date, I wonder if he'll show up? Then again, he may be fired before then.
