My man, it seems like you're not having a good experience in this thread.
Why is that? You guys declared victory around 8am Friday morning and there still hasn't been any evidence in this thread that he's completely innocent except some hearsay from bystanders.
The Espn reporter Darlington has even collaborated the police story. He specifically said, " A police officer tried to flag him down, but whether due to darkness, misunderstanding, or something else, Scheffler kept going. That's when things escalated".
"The officer started to yell obscenities at him then hung onto the side of his car in some way. The drivers side. The car continued some 15 yards before he pulled to a stop".
So let's put all the pieces together, pedestrian has just been run over, its dark and rainy, police are probably on edge already from seeing a guy die, he's trying to instruct a car on where to go, car just ignores him and blows by. So let me ask you what is an appropriate police response taking all that into account?
I also don't understand why people think he was "targeted". Like I said before, nobody has any clue why the cop wanted him to stop which is a key point in the whole case.
To me it's similar to after a football or event like a concert. Light turns green but the cop has stopped traffic for whatever reason. So if the light is green you can just ignore what the traffic cop is telling you?
At the very least he's culpable for not being aware of his surroundings, which is still not good.
I personally think they'll drop the serious charges and he'll probably pay a small fine for reckless driving.
