[quote=Anonymous]All I can think is that the prosecutor knows that the whole thing is blowing up and wanted to get the "public" portion of the matter over and done with ASAP.  Then he can deal with the dismissal behind the curtains.

Now -- its a problem.  Just look at this thread.  More and more information is coming out and all of it is terrible for the prosecution.

We now have:

1.  Agreement by the Police Dept that the Detective involved did not turn on his body camera and that violated Department policy.  The Detective has been disciplined for that violation.
2.  The only video the police have of any portion of the incident consists of the 2 camera views we have seen, and 2 more that have not been released publicly but which, according to the police, show nothing additional.  Think about that for a second.  Look at the camera views we do have made public.  How many cops do you see?  How many police cars do you see?  Only 3 working cameras?  (One video released comes from a pole camera and not a police camera.)  No one else had their camera on?
3.  We know the Police Chief tried to cover up a crime committed by a relative in the past.
4.  We know what is missing - there is no video of the Detective being hit/entangled with Scheffler's car, or falling down.
5.  We know that Scheffler was charged with several crimes, including a felony assault charge against a police officer.

And the huge one -- we know that Scheffler is charged with a felony for things we can see on a video.  And, we know that the Republican Party had been pushing for a major revamp of our immigration laws where we would hold any immigrant charged with a felony pending resolution of those charges.  The Republican Party knows that position is swirling the drain pipe right now, because ---- everyone can see the crap that gets charged as a felony.

Det. Gillies is not who the Republican Party wants as a standard barer for their cornerstone get tough on immigrants policy.  Republicans wanted to campaign on the position that getting charged with a felony is a serious thing so we need to be tough.  Except .... look was charged as a felony against the number 1 golfer in the world outside of the country club where the PGA championship is being held.  If cops would do that to Scottie Scheffler, they certainly would be more than happy to do that to some brown skinned poor immigrant.

There was about a 2 hour period when someone with some common sense could have stepped in at the police station and said -- we are not filling charges here.  Once that grace period expired -- huge huge huge problem.
