[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former prosecutor and this thread makes me laugh, but more in derision than humor.

It reminds me of all the experiences I had working in the legal system where middle and upper middle class white people argued endlessly to me - sometimes until I had to hang up the phone on them or close the door in their faces - about why the law shouldn’t apply to them or their precious snowflake child.

These same people would bray and bark if I didn’t enforce the law with all due haste and harshness on those poor white trash and brown people who were mucking up the neighborhood.

It’s the same old story, as old as our legal system.

How many of the people posting here in defense of this rich white golfer who injured a law enforcement officer have argued strenuously that all those black motorists the cops ended up shooting should have just done what they were told?

Sickening racism/classism going on in these comments.

By the way, I’m not a cop lover - especially not after having worked with them for years. Some are good, many not so much. Most of them would be the first to call me or come to my office looking for a pass for their kid’s drunken driving or whatever. My comment is not about cops, it’s about the rule of law - which so many Americans feel shouldn’t apply to them.[/quote]

Can you tell us where the golfer resisted arrest? This cop clearly needs more training about how to manage traffic, maybe he should go back to desk duty for awhile.[/quote]

I’m sorry, but you are either a moron or pretending to be one.

I am a fat middle aged white woman, highly educated and a former prosecutor AND former defense attorney.

If I drove through a traffic barricade and continued on my way despite a cop practically adhered to my vehicle, knocking on the vehicle and yelling at me to stop, my fat ass would be in jail - especially if that cop was knocked down and injured by my colossal stupidity/arrogance.

Do you have any idea how many cops get killed on traffic details in this country every year?

The only idiot in this scenario was the arrogant rich white golfer. I hope the prosecutor is not bullied into dropping the charges, because this manchild should pay the same price my fat ass would have to pay if I acted an idiot like he did. [/quote]

Did you miss the part about how the golfer was in a marked PGA vehicle? Other players have stated that they were told they could proceed to the venue and in fact, did exactly what Scheffler did to get around traffic? Also where was the cop adhered to the vehicle? How did that happen? Why aren't those facts in the police report? [/quote]

Rules, traffic laws & law enforcement officer commands don’t apply to me because I have an event sticker on my Cadillac Escalade rental.

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?[/quote]

A different cop waived him through. This cop’s bodycam was off. [/quote]

Oh really, what’s that cop’s name?[/quote]

Crickets, of course. Because it’s fake bullcrap pushed by crisis PR. [/quote]
