I hope that there’s body cam footage so we can get to see the actual incident and not just rely on speculation.
I bet they had the body cam on but not recording.
@@danslaughter4358no no the law says they’re always supposed to be recording while on duty! 😂
Scottie is one of the most even tempered person you will meet
This isn’t speculation, this is a first hand account
@@mco3884 there is the law and then there is reality!!
Cops escalating a situation... shocking.
The cop overreacted and jumped on the car. Then couldn’t admit he was wrong and arrested him to save face. Unbelievable
Exactly
Typical
Is there a video of this?? or are you imagining it in your head?? I didn't see a video of the incident...its it out?
Scheffler got some money now and thinks he is above the law. Gotta stop when told to stop
Cops think they are God!
Mayor needs to make a call or PGA will never come back to Louisville.
LOUISVILLE KY. RACE HORSE capital of the World Billionaire Sheiks Little PGA golf event is chump change!
@@michaelkelly4922 sounds like they ran into mall cops
They should have not been there to begin with.
Poor Scotty, what a bad day why concern yourself about the person that died. Like most (all) ignorant golf fans if Hitler could hit a driver you would say that it was all a misunderstanding.
Drunk driving?
This is why letting police do traffic enforcement in UNMARKED cars is idiotic.
The emergency lights tend to be a context clue Sir. Lol
🤡
Must of missed the flashing red and blue lights that would suggest law enforcement….??? Maybe I missed that.
Right in full uniform and the policeman was not in a car.
@@jasonsuacidaldo you not understand that security looks a lot like police and security is used at these events to let the players in safely. Get the boots out of your mouth. It’s clouding your judgement.
This is going to go down very badly for the local authorities.
Sure looks that way. Big surprise. NOT.
They will have to save face a little bit. But as soon the publiciity dies down, supercop is going to get his.
Lmpd sucks. Remember Breonna Taylor?
@@spencerB8021Yes we remember her. She was filthy and in bed (figuratively and literally) with a criminal. She aided him. Don’t fall for the BS.
This man is the #1 golfer in the world. Imagine what happens to just a normal guy with cops like this.
I understand your point, but the police officer didn't know who he was.
In Louisville? We already know what would’ve happened. Brionna Taylor, Frank Serapiglia.
@@JohnnySaskatoon lol
@@JohnnySaskatoonyour comment is the equivalent of a hole-in-one! 👏🏿
Exactly, the fact he’s a pro athlete , let alone #1 should have no influence. He should be treated like any other person. We all would still be in jail. This is BS, One law, one people. No one should have unequal treatment under the law.
No more tournaments in Louisville.
THIS! What a failure by Louisville.
The developer is already getting shovel ready to build another private entrance.
Scottie’s street cred just went up
😂
That golf club street cred must really be worth it. Khakis and golf shoes gang gang
He'll be a regular at one of Trump's CC.
@@southeastdaygo6193 Indeed! Those spiked shoes do work. On a serious note, I wish we as a country would stop celebrating gangster culture as if it's anything but negative. Instead, we attach coolness to it, or whatever word the kids use now for coolness.
He is a friend of joe biden 🤡joe sniffed his daughter
Congratulations Louisville police department! Made ESPN this morning by 7 am. Everyone will know how bad you messed up by 10am.
This is not their first time in the spotlight.
Ya it’s LPDs fault a civilian was killed and Scheffler could t be bothered. He’s world #1. Why should he wait for police to investigate the death of a peasant?!
@@tomjones2056 the video clearly states that police were instructing people that players were still allowed to get into Valhalla, so he was actually right on par with what the law was saying.
Right on time🤣🤣
@@tomjones2056this cop snapped and went off on the nicest guy on tour. He’s said multiple times that God is more important to him than golf.
That’s a guy who belongs in handcuffs????
Whenever the police show up, you can always count on them to make a bad situation worse.
Especially the unhinged and untrained ones.
Exactly!!
There is honestly no worse police force than the Louisville PD.
Actually you’re wrong. They are plenty more police forces that are way worse.
@@ThinCrustPizzzzaagreed. This person never heard of NYPD or Chicago
@@HummaKavula-DontVoteForStupid LAPD has entered the chat and would like to have a word with you! 🤣😜😉
...and you know this how?
Amen! I live right outside of Louisville and they are a bunch of power hungry escalators!!! I hate them! Good luck getting PGA to ever host at Valhalla ever again.
The cops will not only never admit they were in the wrong here, but they'll double down and blame Scheffler.
As they should. Scottie was acting entitled and did not obey a lawful order.
@@ThinCrustPizzzzaboot licker
Yep. They'll start stacking charges. Resisting, Disorderly, Interfering with an investigation, Failure to obey a lawful order,
@@ThinCrustPizzzzano he wasn’t😭 they let the other golfers through. They’d didn’t know who Scottie was. You really think that would happen to Tiger if he pulled up?
@@Richard.Cabezathey charged him with assaulting a police officer lol
Sounds like a cop should lose his job and the golfer should sue the police tbh. Total abuse of authority and it sounds like that’s what the guy is trying to say without saying it.
was there a video?? or are your thoughts based on all the comments of everyone who wasn't there? because I am confused and did not see a video of the incident...which I was looking for.
@@wolfevickery6081 did you watch the videos? Clearly one of the guys commentating here on it clearly says he was there and seen it all happen multiple times during this clip. I’m going to trust his word who has no horse in this race compared to a cop who will likely lose his job or should do to his abuse of authority from how it sounds by the guy who seen it all happen
@@wolfevickery6081wtf man this guy Darlington saw the whole thing
@@wolfevickery6081Based on eyewitness account, so there's that. 😂😂😂
Cops like this always escalate the situation. They never make it better. Scottie trying to get to the golf course is not some kind of heinous crime. Cops pull people over all of the time on traffic stops and let them go with a warning. This cop could have done the same thing. Unfortunately this cop appears to be have a huge ego and wanted to arrest the No.1 golfer in the world so he could get his 15 minutes of fame and go back and brag to the rest of his buddies in the Louisville Gestapo. It's no wonder why people are starting to dislike and not trust cops.
Correct. Its a traffic accident. They happen all the time. Its not a national emergency.
I’ll bet you support George Floyd also. Fool
Back the badge
@user-ml4jd5by5q I do, the good ones. I don't support the tyranical narcissists with the mightier than thou attitudes that use their position of power to intimidate and violate the people they swore to protect. My father-in-law was the police chief of our town for 35 years. He was a very good man and police officer. He had compassion and empathy and treated everyone with respect. Qualities you don't find with many officers anymore.
@@user-ml4jd5by5q nah. Scotty should’ve floored it 100MPH because he already got permission from the police to be there. The lo$er that arrested him went rogue to frame Scotty because he bet on Scotty’s opponent and it’s obvious.
It’s a normal sop for cops to overreact and over charge people like this. Nice police state we live in. Disgusting state of affairs in our country.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that low iq individuals often become police officers. Mandate college education and see these problems lessen
Waiting for body cam footage.
Police never show the body cam footage until they're forced to
A police officer had stopped traffic on a road I was traveling. I was right where I normally turn left onto a side road. I decided I would go ahead and turn left. The police officer screamed stop!!!! Next he was at my window, veins popping out of his neck, yelling at me point blank at the top of his lungs, lost his mind.. Two minutes later he says ok you can turn.
I believe that 100% most of these cops are out of control narcissists
@@jeffsegar3270they have a dangerous job you twit, they could die on the job every time they go to work
The Problem is that it is way to easy to become a cop. Adopting a Puppy from the shelter is harder than joining the police.
#roidrage
So many cops around this country are on steroids.
They take that job so they can scream. Psychos
Sounds like a very confusing situation which was made worse by a stupid cop on a power trip.
100%
Or maybe the rich guy was the one on a power trip?
1000%
Sounds like a confusing situation???? Sounds simple to me. The officer says stop and Scottie keeps driving. Scottie is arrested? What’s confusing?
Like always
Welcome to Louisville. The worst police department in America. I’m here and a Louisville resident. The local police has made this tournament horrible
Why?
Sounds like a cop overreacted
Like always
@@davidvanzant2019always? 800,000 to 1 million contacts a day. GTFOH.
@@davidvanzant2019 No you are drawing conclusions unfairly, at this point in time, we do not have all the information, and for you to make such a declarative statement is unfair, (and stupid).
@@davidvanzant2019 You do not know this, you are drawing conclusions very unfairly.
Naw, sounds like the white guy thought he could do what he wanted.
If you think all cops are good - you’re living in a bubble
If you think someone who claims Christianity and family importance is always a good person, so are you.
It’s the opposite
It's the bad, unhinged cops that have stained the culture. Good cops can't speak out for fear of being fired. The Blue Line is a gang.
Nobody thinks that.
It's crazy how everyone forgets there was a traffic accident in which someone died. Means paramedics, maybe firemen, tow trucks and drivers, are now extra people walking in, or around the road making traffic even worse. So maybe, just maybe, the cop was being over protective for safety. I'm sure we all want to be out in the rain, the cold, the early morning, for hours on hours, and then deal with annoyed drivers wondering why traffic is backed up. So he was over protective, no big deal. Someone's life just ended, and the lives of all their loved ones just changed. Who gives a s**t about a golfer that was late to work.
Scottie needs to play in his orange top
Naw, that's Rickie's gig
@@PavlovsBobso Ricki plays in jail tops?
That would be hilarious but not comfortable for Scott
We allow every person and their dog to squat, shoplift, and vandalize, yet when we accidently drive into the wrong area 25 cops come down on you. What an absolute joke.
Feel better
Buddy kentucky ain't new york. Go take geography again
@@thekidfromcleveland3944it's worse
He got physical with a cop, you moron.
One of his charges is assaulting a cop. 🤡
So, what are the odds that the cops body cam wasnt turned on😂
They'll lie and say it was accidentally deleted.
does matter, ESPN media was there and have plenty of witnesses. the POS cops are toast
Million to 1.
I'd laugh if it wasn't so predictable! These thugs are meant to protect and serve people.
The world has officially gone mad….. this bloke wouldn’t know how to get angry
This is WILD!
This is the craziest story.
Yep, anyone who's see Scotty play knows he is not this type of person, he is the most calm, cool and collected person on the course. You don't get as many wins as he's got by losing your cool under pressure. If I were a betting man I'd put all my money on a cop who overreacted!
@@iamme123jb People tend to be quite a bit different when they are behind the wheel.
@@cobra7282 yeah I'm sure he becomes a raging maniac behind the wheel!🤦
“There’s nothing you can do, he’s going to jail. “ Really? The Scheff? Passive, confused… hopes he’s uninjured and that they let him go with a full apology.
Whatever department this was is fucked 😂
How many times do they say they don't want to speculate and then they speculate.
Lol have you ever turned on espn before
@@BennyRobinson duh, that was my point
Hope Scottie did not get arm,shoulder,wrist injury from the police officer.
If he does the Louisville PD is going to be out millions of dollars.
And by Louisville PD you mean the citizens of Louisville
Stupid comment. Scottie should be going to jail for assaulting a police officer. But he’s a spoiled white man so charges dropped most likely
Oh and it’s okay to ignore the police and cause them to be harmed. Let’s not harm some entitled golf player. Heck golf isn’t even a real sport.
Yes, who always pays?
Why are all of their cars unmarked? Unreal
Becoming a police officer should require a 4 year college degree OR a 2 year degree combined with military experience. It's too easy to become a police officer.
They just need to actually be held accountable.
Exactly!
The standards are lowered in this place.
They want order takers. Not critical thinkers. Standards have gone way down!!
hey jerkface have you applied to be an officer of the Law? if not Shut the F**k up!!!
Can you imagine being the Chief of Police arriving to work this morning, YOU GUYS ARRESTED WHO? .... Secretary: Chief, I got the Governor on line #1 for you. 🤣🤣🤣
@@eddieh3580 From all accounts the cop overreacted to simple mistake. Did you see this video? Cletus!
@@eddieh3580 You are the same uneducated idiot that must insult people to get your point across.
The charges that were written up are ridiculous. It was a misunderstanding that could have been resolved easily. Scottie trying to get to the golf course is not some heinous crime. Cops pull people over all of the time and choose not to write a ticket. This cop could have done the same thing. More than likely this cop has a huge narcissistic ego and just wants to be able to brag about arresting the No. 1 golfer in the world to the rest of his Gestapo thug buddies.
so are u saying cops should never arrest anyone who is rich and famous?? I am confused.
You think the governor should call in for this white golfer you people think you can get away with everything out in the open wow
What is going on in this world when you can’t even go anywhere without some type of chaos
Did the cops inadvertently screw up his wrist or shoulder during the altercation?
That was the plan all along.
Sounds like your suggesting Scottie partake in fraud and fake an injury. 🤔 America
Hope he gets fired and has to go on welfare then he can only watch the games on Sunday because he can't afford cable 😂
The fix is in. Wake up!!!!
@@robtritonthey need to investigate to see if the cop had money on someone else to win.
So the cops weren’t wearing anything to identify themselves as cops. Scottie is litterally less than 20 yards to the opening - where the players yes even world number 1 have always circumvented security, and he circumvents what he thought was security. Only to have his vehicle attacked and surprisingly straight to jail.
I love people blaming Scottie and clearly knowing nothing about the situation..
Love fatality and shefflers name in opening when CLEARLY by the end of the story he was NOT the cause of the fatality. NEVER mentioned by the reporter!
@harrybaldman3437
Amen!! 👏👏👍👍
Sounds like the cop overreacted big time!
Tbis could've been de-escalated with a few minutes of conversation.
Everyone is correct & mentally ill
Sounds like the police totally over reacted to the situation. Scotties luckey he didnt get shot.
Overreacting seems to be the name of the game for kkkops in amerikkka
"i did not know you were a police officer... i only disrespect security "
The blue line.... where cowards go to hide.
This was a misunderstanding. Ironically, if it were Tiger, cop would have recognized him and let him go. Most people have no idea who Scottie is even though he’s the number 1 golfer in the world.
Police told him to stop but he didn’t stop he needed to get arrested
@@michaelyoung9628just another loser clueless cop.
If it was Tiger it could’ve been worse.
@@chancemackwait does tigers half Asian cancel out his half black or does it double it 🤔 woke math is hard 😂
@@tomjones2056You seem to be the most woke one here! LOL Tiger is the most well-known face in golf, he prob would have been let go. Even more likely after Tiger's past accidents he prob wouldn't break the traffic rules, and how authority respecting he is because of his father he likely would have followed instructions.
Scheffler was just exercising bratty entitlement.
We see it from school. Total geeks become science professionals, great jocks become athletes and bullies become cops. They are what they are, I’m not surprised.
On God but if that don't work for jocks and bully's they become no lofe crackheads 😂
Police states like Kentucky should be avoided in entirety.
That would be nice. Unfortunately this is every state outside of major cities.
You sound Libtarded as F.
oh. and lets see how the chief of da police spins this to make it look like 100% cop was in the right. silly
Oc course they will defend the unhinged behavior.
50 police cars seem excessive.
Overreaction, escalation, hurt ego, and misuse of authority. This crap will all be dropped by the state attorney! You’re good Scottie!
Honestly I don’t think he over reacted lol
@@LuisZepeda2318 Well, you're wrong.
@@LuisZepeda2318honestly same. Like just bc the cops said all golfers can get in and scottie being an official PGA tour car doesn’t mean scottie is above the law. I agree. I think that cop should also kiss you bc why not he’s cop. Stooge!!!
Yes, Police State.
Seemingly, he refused to comply with a lawful order.
We don't know what he said to the cop either.
@@apc3036 Good point, we do not know this.
All he had to do is comply.
How about just stop and make sure you identify who you are when going through security.
Abuse of power and people wonder there is so much chaos
Kentucky will never get another pga tour stop
"I'm officer McIlr... McMillan" 😂
Underated comment
Looks like the police officer had a power trip
i would never hold another sporting event in that state again do to fear of overreach by these clowns. i cant wait to see how the politicians spin this one. should be good. guarantee you not cops fault whatsoever is what these clowns will say.
They need damage control.
I bet this cop is already regretting his powertrip badly.
@@tol4095 Nah, most unhinged cops are narcissistic and don't see things this way. They blame everyone else.
Let's pump the brakes until we get the full story. Someone died right before that.
They should have them all at your Mom's house since they're ending up there anyways.
Those cops knew who he was!! Those cops are a disgrace
The policeman sounds like the kind of cops that need to be suspended. Instead of letting Scottie explain the confusion, the cop went off on him. This will be on the police department when it’s all said and done.
Sounds like a power trip
Yeah Scottie was on a power trip.
@@ThinCrustPizzzza Including the reporter.
It sounds like one cop lost his cool and ruined it for everyone
Prayers to the family of the pedestrian.
No more golf fo= lousivle they just lost lousivle 400million dollars in revenue way to go
So sad and that’s why I never ever go to Louisville Kentucky
No common sense applied here.Cops overreacted and escalated the situation unnecessarily.
Do you plan on disobeying police orders when you go to Louisville or? What are you talking about
The entire state of Kentucky is TRASH
Love the way he recounts the “going to jail and there’s nothing you can do about that” comment as if it’s some massive injustice and in a fair world golf reporters should be able to step in and veto police arrests.
The cop was saying that to him and the cop seemed to think he was a buddy of his and so he told him he was media … cop seemed unhinged and on an ego trip
People who are supposed to protect us are the ones who are abusing us and that breaks my heart
If i were players, i would just not play to make a point, this cop over reacted majorly no pun intended
What a joke Louisville PD
Release the bodycam
Meanwhile, someone died in an incident.
Finally after 8 minutes they offered prayers to the family who lost a loved one
I would never drive myself to the tournament if I were in his position.
I'm with you but most of them do
It was a misunderstanding. The charges need to be dropped immediately and get Scottie back to the course, then put this misunderstanding behind everyone....
Is the body cam footage out yet?
These are the people who we got protecting us and don't even know who the number one golfer is in the world bunch of idiots😅😅😅
Total misunderstanding from the cops
It’s too early in the morning for this
Terrible job by the golf course and the cops.
Is there any clearer evidence that the police in this country are out of control. Think of all the people who have been arrested/detained with bogus charges because of a police officer's ego and power trip. Before the world of video, we were told encounters like this were isolated incidents, you don't hear that anymore, because incidents like this are commonplace. It's time for police reform, citizen oversight and limited qualified immunity. Until police officers are made to be personally responsible (like everyone else) for their actions, episodes like this will continue as police have no reason to stop bullying the citizens they swore an oath to serve and protect.
I’m sure the officer in this situation was in the wrong or overreacted but by no means are police, “Out of control.” Look at the cities. Crime is rampant and in many cases police aren’t allowed to stop crimes anymore thanks to libs
Might have been a good idea to stop when the cop told him to
Where’s the “Just Comply” crowd
We need the body cam!
It sounded like this cop that went after Scottie only arrested him to save face. Lets not forget there was a fatality that was tragically. Scottie got caught up in that traffic and this happened. Jeff Darlington did a badass job reporting on this. Micheal Collins, Americas favorite caddie reported other golfers and caddies werent having an issue getting into the course. Clearly this cop was on a power trip and is now trying to save face. Thats my gut reaction right now.
That's what happened. He probably won't back down on this either. Rather than admit he came unhinged, he'll lie to save his job. Either way, he should be fired.
@@Richard.Cabeza Amen that 2nd degree assault on a police officer is a felony charge believe it or not.
This is so stupid. He's being charged with assault because he went the wrong way down a road around the course that had a confusing traffic pattern, so a cop decided to JUMP ON HIS CAR. He pulled over immediately. They keep saying "10 yards" but it takes 1 second to travel 30ft in a car so let's drop that "being dragged" narrative. The cop was doing typical pig stuff and acting like a huge snowflake after the fact. This is clearly a made up charge. They even threatened a reporter with arrest just for asking questions. The only good thing that hopefully comes from this is that we can ALL see how cops lie, overreach and try to ruin lives. This is seriously criminal on the cops part. Period.
oh so you were there and saw the entire thing? yep thought so.
Cop made a mistake and refuses to admit it. Civil suit incoming.
no one is above the law there was a fatality
can’t wait to buy an old row scottie mugshot shirt
IT JUST DROPPED
Absolute garbage cops.
Um no. It’s not the cops fault, it’s Scottie’s fault.
@@ThinCrustPizzzza
99% of cops are nothing but ego filled militant constitution hating trash. They need to identify the cop that arrested him. He has already been released and is on the way to the course.
That power trip is one helluva drug. And to be fair I don’t even think the arresting officer knows who he is. Once he is told by his chief he dun goofed with a world number one golfer he will 💩 himself. He’s going to get sued big time.
@@ThinCrustPizzzzawrong. He has a marked car has to be somewhere for work. This is on the officers 100%. He talked to the officer and the officer was in a mood and acted like a child
Like who is this cop? A nobody just some loser that woke up someday and decided to be a police priced.
And law enforcement wonders why more people are turning on them........
Louisville PD at its finest
Imagine having to go back to the precinct and tell the boys you got beat up by a pro golfer.😂😂😂
My question: why is Scheffler driving himself anymore?
Idk some men full of raging testosterone like to drive nice cars…
Probably because he is a regular guy and humble.
Most PGA pros get courtesy cars to get back and forth from their hotels to the course…my nephew in law drives his own car to some pga events otherwise drives cars the tour provides when not playing in his hometown events.
"NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" So saying he's the number one golfer in the world DOES NOT MEAN CRAP to police officers and the LAW!!!!!
Scotty needs to call Tiger for some advice on how to get out of this trap....
Please help me, the police didn't move out of the way when I was trying to get through?
This is the same police force that killed brianna
Don't do that completely different situation.
@@joegalloway9011 There is undeniably a tyrannical culture in this police force. This is far from being their first unnecessary escalation of force.
Don’t want to speculate and then they speculate. Awesome.
LMPD is a joke. Just last week three cops shot and killed a guy with a knife. If they thought Scheffler was using his car as a weapon, he's lucky to be alive.
He should've followed police instructions 😂😂😂
Darlington is talking like he had money on Scottie
Like he's missing a Nooner with him.
Cop thought he was Harry Callahan jumping on MY car!
So the cop tell him to stop and he didn’t. He drive with the cop on the car for 10 yards. But he didn’t do anything wrong😂😂😂😂
Still don’t get it, did he drive over the body? That’s the only way this would make sense.
The accident where the guy got hit by the bus was down the road from where this took place. One has nothing to do with the other. Hope this helps.
