***Scottie Scheffler Arrest Thread***

Jumping on to a moving vehicle was a bad response. No one should jump onto a moving vehicle.
He obviously lost his cool, most likely from someone just getting run over by a giant bus and cars doing stupid **** that was threatening his safety.
Just curious. Why does this reflect badly on the DA? Scottie's team wanted to delay the hearing, the DA objected and wanted it tomorrow.
A DA with his brain intact would have dropped the charges already and there wouldn't need to be a hearing.
Glad you can admit the police officer was in the wrong. That's some real personal growth!
It sounds like the DA has agreed to drop the charges; they haven't formally done so yet.
So, devil's advocate: The DA wants to use the hearing to drop the charges as they know the media will be covering the event. They may even offer a formal apology in an attempt to lesson the public relations nightmare. If they drop the charges today, there wouldn't be the formal court setting with the media present.
Scottie is playing in Fort Worth this week starting on Thursday. Expecting him to be there just for them to drop the charges is silly.
I agree the charges should be dropped immediately. But I was trying to provide some perspective from the DA office as to why they still want to proceed with the hearing.
The DA?\/policw rep could call a press conference, guaratee the media would be there
they might call a press conference, guarantee media would be there
Yes - But Scottie would not be there. It's one thing to have a press conference; it's another to apologize to the victim in person and where the cameras can capture it - again, just speaking for a DA/PR perspectiveThe DA?\/policw rep could call a press conference, guaratee the media would be there

if I were Scottie (he just won half a mil) and they charged me with anything, I'd get the best defense attorney I could. (Hell, there would probably be a few would do it pro bono) demand my right to a jury trial, and put the whole LPD and event security planners on trial. He already said he was confused by the chaos, and thought he was doing the right thing! LPD probably told the PGA it would take care of planning traffic flow, egress to the club etc etc. Well the result of that planning was a vendor died and the worlds number1 golfer was arrested. A total failure by those that planned and executed the plan. Plus Scottie didn't assault the cop, he injured himself by jumping on a moving vehicle. Scottie will have the whole traveling card PGA as character witnesses, not to mention his buddies, plus the other golfers as well as the media are witness to the cluster f**K traffic control and egress to the facility, and a good defense attorney will air out LPD laundry. But Scottie is probably too nice a guy, he'll pay a couple of bucks fine on a trumped up charge and move on

What's the difference between Jesus and a Louisville police officer?
Jesus doesn't think he's a police officer.
I'd be very surprised if there was an apology. That's basically admitting wrongdoing and asking for a lawsuit.
Yeah you were our knight in shining armor who was waiting for facts to come in. Remember when you wrote these things at 8:30 ET as the event was unfolding. You’ve been full of **** on this entire topic and continue to be full of ****
What a loser. I'm sure there's a zero percent chance he pulled out the "do you have any idea who you're dealing with?" line either.
So it's ok to lay your hands on a cop as long as you can hit a golf ball well? JFC
Blatantly obvious what happened. Dude was worried about missing his tee time in 4 hours so pulled the " " I don't have time for this ****", pulled out to go around everyone else disobeying police, then tried to pull the " Do you have any idea who I am?" card, then likely got physical with an officer.
Yeah they’re not going to apologize. They shouldn’t either as that would be admitting fault and open themselves up to a lawsuit.
I am surprised the charges haven’t been dropped yet. Feel like that is inevitable.
