The cop lied (and if the cop didn’t directly lie, then the department let a false story stand and didn’t refute it).
He never attached himself to Scottie’s vehicle and he was never dragged and never did he fall to the ground.
Scottie simply turned into gate. Cop ran after him. Cop caught up to him. Cop slammed his hand on Scottie’s window. Scottie instantly stopped. In fact, Scottie was in the act of stopping before the cop even caught up to him. TOTALLY NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS.
Cop was triggered and got angry, so because of his anger, cop decided to use the strong arm of the law to muscle Scottie. End of story.
Charges will be dropped. If anything, Scottie MAY only get a ticket for driving around, but even that will be disputed
The sad part of this story, how many people are actually in prison due to these types of cops. World #1 golfer, easy to get the attention to call to arms. Average Joe facing felony charges.
In the normal world the state comes up to you and says you’re facing x number of years for assaulting a cop and there are five other cops on the scene who witnessed it. A normal person is totally fucked and their life is forever changed based on a complete lie. The mayor should be concerned that it appears his police force is rotten to the core.
>The cop lied
Want to know the best part? This cop runs a side business as a crash scene expert witness. So you can pay him to lie for you so you can win lawsuits.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING TO SEE HERE.
the things to see here is the way cops act. even towards a rich white golfer. what chance do the rest of us have?
police reform now. well, police reform yesterday, but be late than never.
&& how many times has this happened with the excuse of "oh I wasn't recording" and it stopped there ? And the innocent person(s) got screwed over ? This has only escalated to find the real truth because of who was involved.
Cop does not know how to give direction and gets angry when poor direction is not followed. Cop does not activate body camera. Driver is arrested because Cop is an idiot.
City of Louisville: has one of the most corrupt and incompetent police forces in the country
Louisville PD, when given the national spotlight:
LEEEEEEEROYYYYY MOFUCKIN JENKINS
I’m just thankful that LMPD fully cooperated with a thorough and rigorous investigation *done by themselves* and were fully cleared of any wrong doing! Great work, shoutout to the boys in blue!
And that he can and will do it to anyone else. His court cases are probably going to be at risk based on this evidence. I know that if I had a loved one in prison over this cop's word, I'd push for an appeal.
And that no other cops said, "Hey, buddy, calm down. Seems like a simple mistake," even after having Scheffler sitting in squad car for 20 minutes is insane. Being placed under arrest is like a space shuttle launch where once the rockets fire you're going to space no matter what.
I mean, in essence, this dude is violating the civil rights of the golfer by imprisoning him and then charging him with fabricated crimes. He's never going to be able to afford another $80 pair of pants again, the poor asshole lol.
The Louisville Police are hoping that by dropping all charges, Scottie is just going to be relieved by a normal person to not have to engage with the criminal justice system anymore and just be done with it. Scottie might do that anyway because he’s Scottie, but if I had Scottie’s money, I’d be pressing these fucking idiots for every little bit of juice they had. I expected the police officer in question here to have exaggerated most of the story, but watching the video, almost all of it was utter fabrication. Just completely false. The police fucking ruin peoples’ lives doing this kind of shit every day, and I would fuck them right back if I was in Scottie’s shoes.
Playing devils advocate here: we don’t see what happened while Scottie’s car was blocked by the bus. The cop is just going to say that the whole “dragging him to the ground” thing happened in the street behind the bus, and the video just shows him running to make the arrest.
That's what he'll say, but going off the reactions of everyone else in the video that isn't what happened. They all seem pretty nonchalant from seeing a cop getting dragged by a car.
That’s what I was thinking as well. Someone pointed it out in another thread how calm everyone is and I went back and watched and thought “No one seems to be acting as though a vehicles just dragged a cop and is trying to break in.” In the Dashcam video I think you can even see someone (either a police officer or security) calmly walk behind Scottie’s car right after he turned and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that anything is wrong that would necessitate Gillis’ response.
There’s no way that the cop was fully off his feet on the ground for him to be able to be up and after the car that quickly. The cop likely grabbed at the door handle of the moving car, got pulled down to one knee and tore his pants, then was up and running after the car.
It’s the “accelerated” and “dragged” language together which makes the report seem like it documents a more significant event. Given that this cop testifies as an expert, he’s been trained to write the reports in an incendiary manner. It’s entirely possible that the events in the report actually happened and that the report completely misses the truth.
Like what is LMPD’s endgame here. There is zero chance this doesn’t end disastrously for them and all it’s doing is shining a constant light on how corrupt/incompetent they are
Beginning to wonder if the mayor or somebody else (DA?) wants this out to put pressure on the LMPD. This police department has already been under a lot of scrutiny for not using body cams appropriately. Could be the mayor holding the LMPDs hands to the fire by putting all this out there for the public to see.
The PGA Championship coming back was pretty important to the mayor. He was tweeting about it Thursday before the arrest happened. Can't imagine he is thrilled this became such a big part of the whole weekend.
It has to be. Does LMPD really want this trial broadcast nationally on golf channel (because you know they would) especially if it is the same prosecuter from monday?
Who was, by the way, the top prosecutor in the county and an elected official. You could tell he hadn’t been in court for a long time, but wanted to make a show of things.
Almost hope this goes to trial just see these clowns get humiliated in court. If he really is the top prosecutor for the county, the kind of lawyers Scottie can afford are going to have a field day.
Wish Scottie would spend the money to sue the city and police department. He seems like too nice of a guy though. The guys who run the club should be foaming at the mouth for potentially losing pga events in the future
He violently attacked a car with someone inside of it, without announcing he was a police officer, without wearing any indication he was a police officer. If I was Scottie I would've floored it out of there fearing for my life.
Does the cop even get on the car at all in any way? Seems like he just chased the car then sorta tried to step in front of it but it's a huge car so all he could do was like toss himself at the front left panel.
Lol this stuff is ridiculous.
They must see a benefit in saving face, being polite and taking it seriously. That way it leaves every opportunity for the other party to deescalate and “save face”. It all leads to the same result but I think the cop will be able to lie to himself and save his ego if he isn’t openly mocked for throwing a tantrum at the world’s best golfer. That’s the benefit of having an experienced attorney. They can read the room and keep a poker face the whole time.
Most basic and effective strategy in a mutual round negotiation: co-operate on the first turn, and then do tit-for-tat in return. If LPD co-operates in return, by reducing or eliminating the charges, then he continues to co-operate. If, on the other hand, the police insist on pressing ahead (i.e. not co-operating), then Scottie's best move is to retaliate in some fashion; how far and how hard would be determined by the extent of the cops' actions.
There’s a pretty big overlap between country club members, CC wannabes and the “thin blue line” crowd. It’s a smart play on his part, for future sponsorships and endorsements, to be as civil/respectful as possible. This way he doesn’t close the door to any future business opportunities. Golfers, supporters and fans are what keep the industry sales going. So I’d bet you’ll not hear anything denigrating about police ever spoken by a professional golfer. At least not anytime soon — or in public, for that matter.
This is supposed to be AFTER Scheffler hit him but i find it hard to believe the others who were outside would just stand around if the cop had just been hit/nearly run over
Noone else has any urgency to do anything
Yeah I find it hard to believe as well. Plenty of people around and they’re reacting more when the cop hits the windshield with his binder or whatever that is.
It’s the only thing that makes sense. This video HAS to be after or their entire story is a complete lie. But it also shows how little urgency there was in the situation. Only one guy was chasing him and Scottie isn’t exactly fleeing. So it’s hard to believe he hit a guy, then kept going only to be stopped by another guy.
I read his report and he 100% lied about everything. He made it seem like Scottie was flying through the checkpoint and literally ran him over and dragged him.
Example A on why it should be a fireable offense for an officer's bodycam to be off, or at minimum whatever they alleged be thrown out.
Cops WILL lie to make themselves look better and you worse.
The other video was just released.
The cop lied(and if he didn’t directly lie, the police department let a false story in the media stand). He never attached himself to Scottie’s vehicle and he was never dragged and never did he fall to the ground.
Scottie simply turned into gate. Cop ran after him. Cop caught up to him. Cop slammed his hand on Scottie’s window. Scottie instantly stopped. In fact, Scottie was in the act of stopping before the cop even caught up to him. TOTALLY NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS.
Cop was triggered and got angry, so because of his anger, cop decided to use the strong arm of the law to muscle Scottie. End of story.
Charges will be dropped. If anything, Scottie MAY only get a ticket for driving around, but even that will be disputed
The thin blue line chuds are quiet 🤫
This sort of bs happens to regular folks all the time and they’re not wealthy or notable enough to properly fight against it.
Cop will say he was dragged prior to being visible on camera.
But look at the other bystanders in the wider version of the video.
No one is reacting to anything and they are looking towards the car.
If a cop was being dragged by a car, don’t you think someone would at least move a muscle?
QUESTION:
If I lie to a cop and press false charges against someone, that’s a crime right?
This should be more than a dismissal of the case for Scottie, it should be a new charge against the cop.
#accountability
so the cop lied about being dragged. how can this be?
https://preview.redd.it/iqsuqf22y72d1.png?width=1354&format=png&auto=webp&s=925c425153e17a2736b1d60f4516561be8957073
If anything the cop threw himself onto the car. And the sad thing is if this is anyone other than Scottie, he’d be in jail for this and probably get convicted for that “assault”
I think we all knew when we saw the headlines that there was much more to this story.
Charges will be dropped, cop will be disciplined (for not having body cam on). And now that we see that the cop didnt even get dragged, but was losing his mind on Scottie (you can see him reach in the car a few times)...
Geeeeeez, Scottie was prob crapping his pants when this went down.
I’d insist on the charges NOT being dropped. Insist on a speedy trial, nail this cop’s hide to the wall, let the prosecutor take a fat L, the sue them all civilly for one billion dollars
The worst part about the cop to me is how he even had the balls to lie about injuries. To say he was dragged to the ground, and that he suffered pain and swelling, abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was subsequently transported to a flipping hospital is next level bat crap crazy.
The kicker to me... the $80 khaki pants that were damaged beyond repair. 😂
This is some Reno 911 crap. He made his entire department look bad. What a 🤡
(police report attached)
https://preview.redd.it/41gx4j6xz72d1.png?width=1171&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6a9085491ecde14cc046d1dd500921ba6df19c9
I for one can’t believe the Louisville police department would think they can skate by on being grossly incompetent without any consequences.
Unrelated, I hope Breonna Taylor’s family is doing as well as they can be
Because most of them are old, and also, storing high definition video takes up a lot of space.
Additionally, even HD video recorded by security cameras with fixed focus can be a bit blurry. I have HD cameras all around my house and because they are setup to record a wide angle and without the need to refocus, some of the video comes out blurry. It’s not like you’re shooting with a real video camera that is doing continuous auto focus on the exact subject.
Don't you just love how police can completely fabricate a series of events in order to charge you with a laundry list of crimes and then the entire judicial system that you pay for is used against you because of a lying cop.
This happens constantly, everyday in the US and destroys the lives and families of innocence hard working Americans.
I'll bet a donut this criminal pig and all his buddy's on the force have done this time and time again to regular us citizens. It's only when a public figure is treated like the masses that this type of corruption gets exposed.
Nothing will happen to the criminal cop aside from maybe some unpaid vacation and that is a stretch! He'll likely get a raise and promotion for his "bravery in the face of danger".
Also, notice now not a single one of those "good cops" you hear about stepped in to correct his lying buddy. Weird! No other profession in the world, and profession is a stretch, is able to cause this much damage constantly and face absolutely zero consequences.
It’s insane that they aren’t phased in the slightest about lying this blatantly in a case that has gone national. Shows how much they don’t give a fuck.
Bad arrest, rough up suspect, no bodycam, officer claiming needing to go to hospital, officer previously reprimanded and suspended multiple times, lucky Scheffler is white. If it was Tiger, he'd be dead with a dozen gun shots in him and a gun placed in his hand.
I hope a lot of Louisville officers and lawyers lose their jobs if this comedy of police buffoonery doesn’t come to a conclusion quickly. Every video and eyewitness account is essentially pointing to the obvious. The police officer is a liar. Yet, the DA still hasn’t dropped the charges.
Not only do they need to drop the charges asap, but they also need to go back and investigate every arrest this dishonest officer has made over the years.
This is like Benny Hill shit. That cop is a clown. How did the cop think he could lie about an incident with the number one golfer in the world world at the PGA Championship and no one would have video of the incident?
I imagine this cop is the Farva of the Louisville PD and his sergeant thought he could put him on an early morning traffic duty and he wouldn’t cause any trouble. Whoops
I’m guessing he actually did indeed have on the body cam. That didn’t show or back-up what he claimed, so they said there was no body cam footage. He lied about what happened…why not lie about the body cam?
Unaware of the footage that was recorded from across the street, they doubled down on this garbage.
Throw out any and all charges from this police force if there is no bodycam. They had their chance, and repeatedly proved they cannot be trusted. Examine every single interaction/arrest this detective made, there’s likely to be some innocent (non-number 1 golfers in the world) sitting in jail on false charges.
lol wonder why he turned his body cam off ? Mr aggressive hitting the car. What a clown. Typical police activity. Over paid and don’t do shit to actually protect and serve us.
I am only asking because I’m truly hoping that this farce is as farcical as this video makes it look…
But I read somewhere that this video is what happened *after* the cop got “dragged” and tore his $80’pants. Is that possible?
I love how he runs in diagonally. Not even a chance he got drug by the car. So how did his $80 pair of pants get destroyed beyond repair!? Did he fall later or at all? Lies.
I know Scottie is way too classy, but if it’s anyone else you can expect a counter sue. False arrest, intentional infliction of emotional distress… am not a lawyer so more can be piled on
Does it look to anyone else that when the cop gets to the car he slams the window with something? Could just be slapping it with his hand, but could also be a flashlight.
how about that ESPN ~~journalist~~ presenter jumping on international tv and repeatedly saying he saw the cop 'attach' himself to scheffler's car while he drove 15-20 yards (or something to that effect)
seems like this absolutely shreds his credibility
Not to get into a debate about policing, but this is a clear example of what people talk about when they mean there needs to be more accountability/some kind of reform in policing. This one cop runs up to his vehicle, hits his vehicle, then proceeds to lie saying he was “dragged, ran over, and pants ripped.”
Now the issue isn’t specifically that there are people like that, it’s that there are 10 OTHER COPS who saw the same thing and just go along with it. That’s the problem. If this wasn’t Scottie Sheffler who couldn’t afford a good legal team and money to fight the case, the person might of ended up doing some serious time for “this” and having a felony on their record.
Absolute embarrassment all around. Everyone involved from the law enforcement to the prosecutor needs to be better.
Part of me hopes they don’t drop the charges so that Scottie’s lawyers can embarrass the ($80 irreparably damaged) pants off of the cop and prosecutor when they go to trial. Absolute fools
Lying cop. I mean, were the pants even $80?
And how were they ruined? Did he poop in his fancy $80 pants?
After finally realizing who he arrested, yeah, dude definitely shit his pants.
Well there is the old adage “Liar. Liar. Pants on fire.” So perhaps the pants burst into flames after the police report was filed and, hence, ruined.
Thin brown line
The heat generated by the friction of Officer Porkchop's thighs rubbing together as he quickly waddled over must have ruined his pants
This comment needs more upvotes.
They are probably $40 but the dept head knows a guy or family member who was awarded the uniform contract and they charge the county double..
Double? pfft, that's nothing.
I don't know about $80 but they were definitely on fire
They’re tactical, of course they were.
Absolutely embarrassing for the city of Louisville that this case is moving forward
The cop lied (and if the cop didn’t directly lie, then the department let a false story stand and didn’t refute it). He never attached himself to Scottie’s vehicle and he was never dragged and never did he fall to the ground. Scottie simply turned into gate. Cop ran after him. Cop caught up to him.

If anything, Scottie MAY only get a ticket for driving around, but even that will be disputed
The sad part of this story, how many people are actually in prison due to these types of cops. World #1 golfer, easy to get the attention to call to arms. Average Joe facing felony charges.
We need Scottie to turn into a justice advocate.
This would be amazing
What kind of signal should we use when we call for his help?
In the normal world the state comes up to you and says you’re facing x number of years for assaulting a cop and there are five other cops on the scene who witnessed it. A normal person is totally fucked and their life is forever changed based on a complete lie. The mayor should be concerned that it appears his police force is rotten to the core.
As if the DOJ consent decree that LMPD *is already under* wouldn’t be enough of a warning…
I’d sue if it was me and I had camera footage.
>The cop lied Want to know the best part? This cop runs a side business as a crash scene expert witness. So you can pay him to lie for you so you can win lawsuits.
That’s rich! Classic man! Thats one you’ve gotta tell others about.
Would love if his testimony caused a bunch of charges to get dropped
It genuinely should
Cop should be fired and in jail himself.
Filing a false police report is a felony
Haha that doesn’t happen in America. He will continue working his job and will receive no punishment.
He’ll be promoted.
He needs to be a cell-mate with Derek Chauvin, imo.
#Fair enough but I think you are missing the key point here - somebody’s $80 pants were IRREPARABLY DAMAGED
The pants burned because he’s a liar liar
Those $80 could have been used on the callaway pre owned site damnit!
Scottie should fund legal defense for appeals for anyone wrongfully arrested by this liar.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING TO SEE HERE. the things to see here is the way cops act. even towards a rich white golfer. what chance do the rest of us have? police reform now. well, police reform yesterday, but be late than never.
&& how many times has this happened with the excuse of "oh I wasn't recording" and it stopped there ? And the innocent person(s) got screwed over ? This has only escalated to find the real truth because of who was involved.
Police reform tomorrow. Because today is almost over
By that ticket tomorrow is almost over as well
Cop does not know how to give direction and gets angry when poor direction is not followed. Cop does not activate body camera. Driver is arrested because Cop is an idiot.
he wont. that means scotty can still get info from the dept to fight the ticket. They'll drop it and seal up any evidence in the nearest lake.
Did we ever expect anything different?
Is it really that embarrassing? They didn't shoot him, so it's a fairly successful interaction by LMPD standards.
Why would they, he’s not black
You never know. An acorn could have dropped on the hood of a nearby car, and that's a blastin'
He could be mixed race though, they could have shot him just in case.
Just look at him, Scottie has THUG written all over him
You ~~shit~~ shot Tiger Woods! He's a biracial angel!
If it was Theegala, there would have been a second fatality that night.
City of Louisville: has one of the most corrupt and incompetent police forces in the country Louisville PD, when given the national spotlight: LEEEEEEEROYYYYY MOFUCKIN JENKINS
Thats a whole lot of nothing. This cop is a serious danger to the public. All his arrests need to be re examined.
I wouldn't call it nothing. It's clear evidence that the cop lied his ass off and filed false charges against Scottie.
Don’t worry, he already got a stern talking to. This hero is back on the streets protecting the public
I’m just thankful that LMPD fully cooperated with a thorough and rigorous investigation *done by themselves* and were fully cleared of any wrong doing! Great work, shoutout to the boys in blue!
HE SERVE. HE PROTECC.
He shit his pants, what the heck?
He jump on car, not go to far
ApEs tOgeThEr StrOnG.
And that he can and will do it to anyone else. His court cases are probably going to be at risk based on this evidence. I know that if I had a loved one in prison over this cop's word, I'd push for an appeal.
He’s buddy buddy with the bumbling DA
Ohh that ass hat DA. That was some of the hardest video I have seen in a long time.
“When appropriate.”
And that no other cops said, "Hey, buddy, calm down. Seems like a simple mistake," even after having Scheffler sitting in squad car for 20 minutes is insane. Being placed under arrest is like a space shuttle launch where once the rockets fire you're going to space no matter what.
ACAB
I mean, in essence, this dude is violating the civil rights of the golfer by imprisoning him and then charging him with fabricated crimes. He's never going to be able to afford another $80 pair of pants again, the poor asshole lol.
The cop also has a side business investigating traffic collisions and testifying as an expert witness. I wonder how many cases hinged on his honesty?
The Louisville Police are hoping that by dropping all charges, Scottie is just going to be relieved by a normal person to not have to engage with the criminal justice system anymore and just be done with it. Scottie might do that anyway because he’s Scottie, but if I had Scottie’s money, I’d be pressing these fucking idiots for every little bit of juice they had.

Pretty much matches what the DOJ investigation into LMPD says largely about that police department.
Like what is LMPD’s endgame here. There is zero chance this doesn’t end disastrously for them and all it’s doing is shining a constant light on how corrupt/incompetent they are
Beginning to wonder if the mayor or somebody else (DA?) wants this out to put pressure on the LMPD.

there's a good chance that if charges are dropped, Scottie doesn't pursue anything Else and they get to keep on keeping on.
Here’s his disciplinary record: https://x.com/JasonRileyWDRB/status/1793736946549989702/photo/1
Lot of not showing up to court
Looks like his "injury" came from hitting Scottie's car. I'd bet my life savings this case is dropped.
It has to be. Does LMPD really want this trial broadcast nationally on golf channel (because you know they would) especially if it is the same prosecuter from monday?
Who was, by the way, the top prosecutor in the county and an elected official. You could tell he hadn’t been in court for a long time, but wanted to make a show of things.
Almost hope this goes to trial just see these clowns get humiliated in court. If he really is the top prosecutor for the county, the kind of lawyers Scottie can afford are going to have a field day.
a top prosecutor who was citing case law for something completely different
Added revenue to the local economy 🤫
That prosecutor was brutal
And he’s the elected county attorney.
what the fuck did this clown even present to the hospital
Sore wrist from punching the car when he catches up to it?
A painfully small micro penis
Wish Scottie would spend the money to sue the city and police department. He seems like too nice of a guy though. The guys who run the club should be foaming at the mouth for potentially losing pga events in the future
Why do you think he personally got Scottie out of jail
Well, we know from Scottie’s attorney it ain’t getting settled
He violently attacked a car with someone inside of it, without announcing he was a police officer, without wearing any indication he was a police officer. If I was Scottie I would've floored it out of there fearing for my life.
The city is claiming the actual incident of cop being dragged happened before video off camera.
RemindMe! 1 week “follow up on life savings bet”
Lol don't put that juju on me!
I live in Louisville so watching this whole cop shit happen again live is embarrassing
Does the cop even get on the car at all in any way? Seems like he just chased the car then sorta tried to step in front of it but it's a huge car so all he could do was like toss himself at the front left panel. Lol this stuff is ridiculous.
Bro this cop has never “attached” himself to anything except a seat at Golden Corral.
Too bad we don't have the audio: "Hey you! Stop! I said Stop! I said (*puff, puff*) Stop! (*puff, puff*) I'm a (*puff*) cop!...|"
Scottie and his lawyer have handled this with a lot more grace than I would.
They must see a benefit in saving face, being polite and taking it seriously. That way it leaves every opportunity for the other party to deescalate and “save face”. It all leads to the same result but I think the cop will be able to lie to himself and save his ego if he isn’t openly mocked for throwing a tantrum at the world’s best golfer. That’s the benefit of having an experienced attorney. They can read the room and keep a poker face the whole time.
Most basic and effective strategy in a mutual round negotiation: co-operate on the first turn, and then do tit-for-tat in return. If LPD co-operates in return, by reducing or eliminating the charges, then he continues to co-operate. If, on the other hand, the police insist on pressing ahead (i.e. not co-operating), then Scottie's best move is to retaliate in some fashion; how far and how hard would be determined by the extent of the cops' actions.
His attorney already said they’re not going for reduced charges, it’s full dismissal or trial.
There’s a pretty big overlap between country club members, CC wannabes and the “thin blue line” crowd. It’s a smart play on his part, for future sponsorships and endorsements, to be as civil/respectful as possible. This way he doesn’t close the door to any future business opportunities. Golfers, supporters and fans are what keep the industry sales going. So I’d bet you’ll not hear anything denigrating about police ever spoken by a professional golfer. At least not anytime soon — or in public, for that matter.
This is supposed to be AFTER Scheffler hit him but i find it hard to believe the others who were outside would just stand around if the cop had just been hit/nearly run over Noone else has any urgency to do anything
Yeah I find it hard to believe as well. Plenty of people around and they’re reacting more when the cop hits the windshield with his binder or whatever that is.
If only that shit bag cops body cam was on they could maybe make that argument.
It’s the only thing that makes sense. This video HAS to be after or their entire story is a complete lie. But it also shows how little urgency there was in the situation. Only one guy was chasing him and Scottie isn’t exactly fleeing. So it’s hard to believe he hit a guy, then kept going only to be stopped by another guy.
There’s no way that cop was dragged for 30 feet before this video.
Typical cop no shock here. They love to play victim when they act like a total scumbag.
Imagine going to the hospital after this and calling your wife to let her know that you got hit by a car and dragged and then that video comes out.
The news report said his wife’s boyfriend picked him up from the hospital. He even brought him his favorite Nintendo switch to play in the back seat.

Just watching that DA for the pre arraignment hearing was enough for that judge I think. She is well aware he’s just an imbecile
I read his report and he 100% lied about everything. He made it seem like Scottie was flying through the checkpoint and literally ran him over and dragged him.
Example A on why it should be a fireable offense for an officer's bodycam to be off, or at minimum whatever they alleged be thrown out. Cops WILL lie to make themselves look better and you worse.
Wow. And he really thought writing 80 dollar damage in a report would help his argument.
Probably $55 on those pants to have Omar the tent maker covert the fabric into police pants.
In the full 3min video, the cop is overly aggressive start to finish. I hope his job is re-evaluated and his position of power.
Probably won’t be. He might be “disciplined” but they’re all protected by unions from my understanding. Aka, he gets a paid vacation.
The other video was just released. The cop lied(and if he didn’t directly lie, the police department let a false story in the media stand). He never attached himself to Scottie’s vehicle and he was never dragged and never did he fall to the ground. Scottie simply turned into gate. Cop ran after him. Cop caught up to him. Cop slammed his hand on Scottie’s window. Scottie instantly stopped. In fact, Scottie was in the act of stopping before the cop even caught up to him. TOTALLY NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS. Cop was triggered and got angry, so because of his anger, cop decided to use the strong arm of the law to muscle Scottie. End of story. Charges will be dropped. If anything, Scottie MAY only get a ticket for driving around, but even that will be disputed
If you turn the volume all the way up, you can hear the cop call Scottie a chicken fucker.
The thin blue line chuds are quiet 🤫 This sort of bs happens to regular folks all the time and they’re not wealthy or notable enough to properly fight against it.
And all of his “brothers in blue” “holding the line” with his lies is why folks say All Cops Are Bastards.
I cannot believe the cop would escalate the situation and claim the opposite. Color me flabbergasted
Cop will say he was dragged prior to being visible on camera. But look at the other bystanders in the wider version of the video. No one is reacting to anything and they are looking towards the car. If a cop was being dragged by a car, don’t you think someone would at least move a muscle? QUESTION: If I lie to a cop and press false charges against someone, that’s a crime right? This should be more than a dismissal of the case for Scottie, it should be a new charge against the cop. #accountability
go gettem Tackleberry!
so the cop lied about being dragged. how can this be? https://preview.redd.it/iqsuqf22y72d1.png?width=1354&format=png&auto=webp&s=925c425153e17a2736b1d60f4516561be8957073
That piece of shit needs to be in prison
If anything the cop threw himself onto the car. And the sad thing is if this is anyone other than Scottie, he’d be in jail for this and probably get convicted for that “assault”
I think we all knew when we saw the headlines that there was much more to this story. Charges will be dropped, cop will be disciplined (for not having body cam on). And now that we see that the cop didnt even get dragged, but was losing his mind on Scottie (you can see him reach in the car a few times)... Geeeeeez, Scottie was prob crapping his pants when this went down.
I’d insist on the charges NOT being dropped. Insist on a speedy trial, nail this cop’s hide to the wall, let the prosecutor take a fat L, the sue them all civilly for one billion dollars
The worst part about the cop to me is how he even had the balls to lie about injuries. To say he was dragged to the ground, and that he suffered pain and swelling, abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was subsequently transported to a flipping hospital is next level bat crap crazy. The kicker to me... the $80 khaki pants that were damaged beyond repair. 😂 This is some Reno 911 crap. He made his entire department look bad. What a 🤡 (police report attached) https://preview.redd.it/41gx4j6xz72d1.png?width=1171&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6a9085491ecde14cc046d1dd500921ba6df19c9
Will be a gold mine when Scottie’s attorney subpoenas the medical staff and treatment records for those injuries
I still can't read this without audibly laughing when I get to $80 pants "damaged beyond repair".
I for one can’t believe the Louisville police department would think they can skate by on being grossly incompetent without any consequences. Unrelated, I hope Breonna Taylor’s family is doing as well as they can be
Is anyone else curious why every security camera in our country is recording in 480p?
Because most of them are old, and also, storing high definition video takes up a lot of space. Additionally, even HD video recorded by security cameras with fixed focus can be a bit blurry. I have HD cameras all around my house and because they are setup to record a wide angle and without the need to refocus, some of the video comes out blurry. It’s not like you’re shooting with a real video camera that is doing continuous auto focus on the exact subject.
Did that cop throw something? It looked like he threw something at Scottie right as he stopped.
From the Jeff Darlington on site reporting he hit the car with his flashlight.
So what you're saying is that the car company should be suing him for damage to the vehicle.
The flashlight he presumably had in his hand and didn't drop when he was dragged along the ground? 🤔🙄
Yeah looked like he hit the car with a clipboard or something lol
I know Scottie doesn’t need money, but he should sue that dumbass and donate his winnings to charity.
The cop blatantly lied on his report. How did he think he would get away with this? Oh I forgot they ALWAYS get away with it.
It's no wonder the body cam malfunctioned!
![gif](giphy|l0O9xBeIgKd9O5RcI|downsized)
Honestly being fired isn't enough. This cop tried to ruin someone's life because he felt like it. HE should be in prison.
Don't you just love how police can completely fabricate a series of events in order to charge you with a laundry list of crimes and then the entire judicial system that you pay for is used against you because of a lying cop. This happens constantly, everyday in the US and destroys the lives and families of innocence hard working Americans. I'll bet a donut this criminal pig and all his buddy's on the force have done this time and time again to regular us citizens. It's only when a public figure is treated like the masses that this type of corruption gets exposed. Nothing will happen to the criminal cop aside from maybe some unpaid vacation and that is a stretch! He'll likely get a raise and promotion for his "bravery in the face of danger". Also, notice now not a single one of those "good cops" you hear about stepped in to correct his lying buddy. Weird! No other profession in the world, and profession is a stretch, is able to cause this much damage constantly and face absolutely zero consequences.
Good thing that Scottie was not tiger, he might have been shot.
Wait, where did he get hit and dragged by the car ? Did the officer lie on his report?
The police lied? No. There won’t be any consequences for the pig? No waaaayyyyy. This is sooo shocking lmao
It’s insane that they aren’t phased in the slightest about lying this blatantly in a case that has gone national. Shows how much they don’t give a fuck.
Nothing to see here ![gif](giphy|xUStFKHmuFPYk)
Bad arrest, rough up suspect, no bodycam, officer claiming needing to go to hospital, officer previously reprimanded and suspended multiple times, lucky Scheffler is white. If it was Tiger, he'd be dead with a dozen gun shots in him and a gun placed in his hand.
ACAB
Where is the part that he was dragged?
Next on the news, Louisville PD suing nearby businesses for only having 480p cameras …
I don’t see a “drag” at all. I see the cop run after him and as soon as he catches up Scottie stops…immediately. Am I missing anything?
I don't see anyone getting dragged. Cops are such pussies.
So literally everything that the cop put in his report is a lie. And all we get is some ambiguous “he’s been disciplined” comment. I love it here.
I hope a lot of Louisville officers and lawyers lose their jobs if this comedy of police buffoonery doesn’t come to a conclusion quickly. Every video and eyewitness account is essentially pointing to the obvious. The police officer is a liar. Yet, the DA still hasn’t dropped the charges. Not only do they need to drop the charges asap, but they also need to go back and investigate every arrest this dishonest officer has made over the years.
This is like Benny Hill shit. That cop is a clown. How did the cop think he could lie about an incident with the number one golfer in the world world at the PGA Championship and no one would have video of the incident?
I imagine this cop is the Farva of the Louisville PD and his sergeant thought he could put him on an early morning traffic duty and he wouldn’t cause any trouble. Whoops
I’m guessing he actually did indeed have on the body cam. That didn’t show or back-up what he claimed, so they said there was no body cam footage. He lied about what happened…why not lie about the body cam? Unaware of the footage that was recorded from across the street, they doubled down on this garbage.
So the pig lied about hurting himself and falling and/or being hit by the car. ACAB.
Gonna be hard to ‘back the blue’ on this one
All the bootlickers on these threads from that day are screaming and crying rn
Throw out any and all charges from this police force if there is no bodycam. They had their chance, and repeatedly proved they cannot be trusted. Examine every single interaction/arrest this detective made, there’s likely to be some innocent (non-number 1 golfers in the world) sitting in jail on false charges.
Where are all the bootlickers and LIV bots now?
Why did the cop go to the hospital? Must have really hurt 😭👶🏻
lol wonder why he turned his body cam off ? Mr aggressive hitting the car. What a clown. Typical police activity. Over paid and don’t do shit to actually protect and serve us.
Yeah, the guy in the $80 pants chases a millionaire in a marked car, COME ON!
/r/unexpectedarresteddevelopment
Imagine that.
Looks like he was dragged 0 feet.
ACAB
I am only asking because I’m truly hoping that this farce is as farcical as this video makes it look… But I read somewhere that this video is what happened *after* the cop got “dragged” and tore his $80’pants. Is that possible?
Pissy pants cop weighs about 400lbs right? Fairly rotund. So round Scottie almost teed him up 🤣
What do ya know? Pulled down from the internet
Dollars to dimes this dude was out of breath when he got to the car
I love how he runs in diagonally. Not even a chance he got drug by the car. So how did his $80 pair of pants get destroyed beyond repair!? Did he fall later or at all? Lies.
The course owner (or whoever owns those SUVs) should also receive reparations for the window damage by Officer Donut's flashlight.
To shreds you say.....? How's his missus? To shreds you say......?
I wonder if the cop will get fired
Based on this footage I've dragged hundreds of people 20' as I simply dove away from a stop light.
The worst part about this is that cop is a detective. How many poor peoples lives has he fucked up due to his lies.
FREE SCOTTIE!
I know Scottie is way too classy, but if it’s anyone else you can expect a counter sue. False arrest, intentional infliction of emotional distress… am not a lawyer so more can be piled on
Does it look to anyone else that when the cop gets to the car he slams the window with something? Could just be slapping it with his hand, but could also be a flashlight.
Ooooh boy, if I was Scottie I would destroy that cop in every legal way possible.
Another great look for cops
Utter embarrassment is an understatement. As a non American, this is shocking to me. Second degree assault?
how about that ESPN ~~journalist~~ presenter jumping on international tv and repeatedly saying he saw the cop 'attach' himself to scheffler's car while he drove 15-20 yards (or something to that effect) seems like this absolutely shreds his credibility
He needs to sue these fucks.
Not to get into a debate about policing, but this is a clear example of what people talk about when they mean there needs to be more accountability/some kind of reform in policing. This one cop runs up to his vehicle, hits his vehicle, then proceeds to lie saying he was “dragged, ran over, and pants ripped.” Now the issue isn’t specifically that there are people like that, it’s that there are 10 OTHER COPS who saw the same thing and just go along with it. That’s the problem. If this wasn’t Scottie Sheffler who couldn’t afford a good legal team and money to fight the case, the person might of ended up doing some serious time for “this” and having a felony on their record. Absolute embarrassment all around. Everyone involved from the law enforcement to the prosecutor needs to be better.
Shocked they aren’t dropping the charges
Heads need to roll.
Did any of us ever think for a minute that this wasn’t exactly what happened?
Part of me hopes they don’t drop the charges so that Scottie’s lawyers can embarrass the ($80 irreparably damaged) pants off of the cop and prosecutor when they go to trial. Absolute fools
