Scottie didn't throw a chair off a roof onto a busy sidewalk. He was in a well-marked PGA car that was obviously heading into the tournament. He had no way of knowing there was a major accident. It sounds more like the police were a bunch of Keystone Kops on a power trip and it was all a misunderstanding. And Scheffler is known to be one of the nicest players in the PGA. He's already issued a very thoughtful statement explaining the incident. And what kind of police procedure involves 'attaching" oneself to a moving vehicle anyway?

I am generally pro-police. I think it can be a really difficult job. But good lord they do hire some idiots.

Nobody gives a damn what sport you play, you do not get to drive thru an active crime scene investigation of a fatality, no less. And when police tell you to stop, you need to comply.

Exactly.

It wasn't an "active crime scene" morons. This was the bottle neck a mile or so away.

“Free Scottie!!!!”

You want to be mad about this but it was all a big nothing.

I’ve never illegally driven against traffic or illegally used the median to cut traffic. And I’ve never disobeyed an officer’s orders. The entitled pro athlete should have just patiently waited in line like all the law-abiding people in front of him.

He was waived through by a different officer. Barney Fife on a power trip is going to get destroyed over this. It's sad that it takes a professional athlete with resources to fight back against a cop on a power trip, but at least somebody is

Cite a source and the officer’s name who “waived him through.” You can’t. Because it’s crisis PR nonsense.

Well, since there is no body cam footage to prove one way or the other, none of it is really going to matter soon once the charges are dropped.

Bottle neck because of a fatal accident involving a tournament staffer. Someone died, little more important than a golfer getting his morning smoothie.

A smoothie? You're just making up random stuff because you don't even know what happened at all. The cops should have been doing their job directing traffic and letting the players get to the course.

He wasn’t teeing off anytime soon when he did this. Why does some entitled athlete think he gets to cut the lineup of cars and illegally drive against traffic? Better yet, why do you think it’s okay for him to do it? If you saw similar happen, you’d wish a cop were around the ticket the driver. Quit being a jock sniffer.

Are you really this stupid? He's the reason there is traffic heading to the event. Usually athletes get escorts to their events.

Usually? Not last weekend. He should have sat his butt in traffic like everyone in front of him. He thought he was too entitled and important to wait. He thought wrong. And how sad are you to defend him. Break a traffic law, get charged, it’s that simple. And he should have complied; not complying made this all worse.

He did get charged. Isn't that what you wanted? Where is the privilege you keep crying about?

His attorney says he was. The arresting cop had his body cam turned off (in violation of department policy implemented as part of a consent decree) and works for one of the most corrupt departments in the country (hence the consent decree). We're well past a cop's statement, let alone a department PR statement, meaning anything without corroboration

It’s a huge problem now.

No camera recording. Defendant is a famous, rich white guy whose reputation cannot be sullied by a plea bargain because sponsors are not going to like that.

And, they overcharged him. Including a felony. That makes it very political. The Republicans are pushing “felony charge is hold to deport” as their cornerstone immigration issue. Well - Sheppler just showed how trumped up that crap can be.

Where's the camera footage of an officer who allegedly "waived him through"? It doesn't exist because it's nonsense.

Golfers do not have police escorts to the course. They all arrive at different times throughout the day because they tee off upwards of 7 hours apart. Tiger Woods famously crashed driving himself to a course event in Los Angeles.

If that were true, don't you think it would have been quickly corroborated by the arresting, you know, who can communicate with his colleagues via radio? It wasn't because it's baloney.

No camera recording. Defendant is a famous, rich white guy whose reputation cannot be sullied by a plea bargain because sponsors are not going to like that.

And, they overcharged him. Including a felony. That makes it very political. The Republicans are pushing “felony charge is hold to deport” as their cornerstone immigration issue. Well - Sheppler just showed how trumped up that crap can be.

Why doesn't he just come clean and admit he screwed up and violated traffic laws because he didn't feel like waiting in traffic (which was backed up for a roadway fatality)? He stepped in it, bottom line. It's not cool to violate traffic laws around such a hectic and busy sporting event, as evident by a traffic fatality he was trying to go around.

I don’t think he tried to do anything wrong but he did fail to notice a cop grabbing his door which is pretty bad driving.

And how wrong was he? Arrested at about 6:10 am. He was back at the golf course in time to make a 10:06 am tee time (with a warm up).

Still charged by the police wit a felony and a misdemeanor. Does that sound like what would happen if he were a Hispanic guy working on the grounds crew?

Illegal driving maneuvers to dodge traffic are in fact wrong. He knows that.

[Anonymous]

He didn’t know it’s illegal and reckless to drive over median and against traffic in an effort to drive around a backup? And then ignore a cop wearing reflective uniform?

Yeah, okay.
