I don’t understand why he just didn’t comply! Why didn’t he just comply
Maybe he was under the influence. People act strangely when they're intoxicated.
He normally gets routed around the crowds waiting to get in to the event to see him play. He likely didn't understand these weren't security for the event
@Erikpdx look at all of the cruiser lights, and first responders.... this was day two of the tournament and when he was routed thru on Thursday nothing like this was going on... he's a big boy... time to use your critical thinking skills and obey commands, period.
lol the opposite of why black people don’t comply, cause it’s obvious in America who’s side the cops are on. But it’s becoming more apparent the cops are on their OWN side. As the Supreme Court stated, they do not have to protect and serve… it’s been all 🧢
@@didbiddy3480 he thought he was obeying commands. If the officer was still hanging on to his car, whose fault is that?
"It's okay guys, they just didn't know who I was."
It seriously seems like the cops are being dumb here.
The arresting officer had money on McElroy
😂
😂😂
Dude just wanted to get to the course…. I don’t see why all the hate is being thrown his way.
there's more to this than what we are being fed. Typical bs.
Well guess away then Liz...
Like what 😂
Hick cops need to get over themselves and get out of Scottie's way!
Cops likes to attach to a moving vehicle instead of stepping aside to escalate shooting or arrest.
Lol that's so stupid.
Tiger and Scotty are having more and more in common now 😂😂
Difference is Scotty will get a slap on the wrist. Tiger got crucified.
I will wait for the exact full story before I pass judgment on anyone involved. May turn out he said f it, im proceeding no matter what or we could also have a very overzealous cop who over reacted. Did the cop identify himself, did he reach into the vehicle and try to put his car in Park...that would be dumb. Why grab the car to begin with. Lots of variables i want answers to first.
He has three days where this couldn't happen.
I don’t understand why he just didn’t comply! Why didn’t he just comply?
Ohhh shut up acting like he’s a thug with a gun
Unmarked cops, didn't identify.
'' OFFICER I WANT TO BE IN FULL COMPLIANCE ''. ''FARGO ''.
@MrYoungkimba I see what you did there with the scene 🎬 from the movie 🎥 Catch Me If You Can…😂
... drugs... perhaps...
Sir if you can have some patience we had a fatal traffic accident.... Where is the body so I can step over it ...I'm running behind to play golf....
His actions had no impact on the tragic event, and the traffic was there to see him play. Makes sense he needed be there ahead of them
@@Erikpdxfirst weirdo
@@Erikpdxuh…no
@@reeson1968 then you've never been to any spectator event. That's okay. We can't all know what we're talking about
@@Erikpdx guys Erik is simping for Scottie for some reason and it is shutting down the discernment lobe portion of his brain
He is no different than any other American
So he thought "he" was being directed to go around the scene while no one else was?
Those behind him were told do exactly what Scottie did. Lack of communication on the part of cops.
It looked like the the cop intentionally stepped in front just to get a reason to arrest
Priviledged. Prayers and condolences to the person who lost their life.
I'll wait for the body cam footage to be released....... What??? How did it accidentally get deleted?????
lol dont act shocked this is America
@@4rtivist a few bucks will do that.
Lol. I think I would’ve stopped being ‘confused’ after a cop is on my hood and I just kept driving.
Didn't identify as a cop.
20 yards is about 2 seconds on the gas quit playing not dumb.
@@rorytribbet6424 lol, 1.5 seconds too long. You’re talking about an athlete. Not an average citizen.
Was that his caddie filming? lol
PGA should never play there again.
When your ego gets bigger than your common sense...
This wasnt his first rodeo at an event. That cop was out of place due to another event Scheffer wasn't privy to
Kinda like how you let your big mouth get ahead of your knowledge of all the facts?
"a hole in one' means something different in prison
Lol 😆
It’s weird seeing people make such light of SA. Yikes.
More like "one in a hole".
@@Zapzipzoop16it’ll happen no matter how you feel about it so get over it.
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Sorry but if that were Tiger he would have been crucified by the press & naysayers
Lol, he did a lot worse and wasn't crucified. Get a grip
After reading some of the comments here I am inspired to cheer for Scottie. The ignorant and just plain stupid comments from so many reacting from this just displays how low life the culture has become. After watching this video NONE OF US KNOW the details of what happened here and yet he is judged and insulted at the drop of a hat. Low class folks!
Yeah the waste of real resources, tax payers love to pay for this stuff and it shows in their comments. Come on he was a golfer going to the course to play, the officer has a power trip and no brains.
Sounds like he had the opinion that backed up traffic and police were meant for the peasants and not for him because he’s a super important golfer
That's kinda how it usually works at these events though. He's in a car that is marked to show security (sometimes police that is helping with security) that he can go in. Pretty understandable that something could be misunderstood especially in the dark
They were backed up to see him play. He had good reason to cut ahead
He is a really important golfer actually
oh i bet these officers learned a lot about golf today
Scottie has never gotten any flak before when he asked “IF THEY WOULD MIND IF HE PLAYED THROUGH”. Sorry Scottie, that’s gonna cost you more than just a “two stroke penalty” Bro 😎…
Cops are going to get fired
Too much made out of it by the police ? The golfer was as quiet as a mouse while being handcuffed, not a good look at all for the police . Its got world wide attention now . Ridiculously handled
Every one should be treated fairly using the same rule. Kudos to police at USA. No one is above the law!
He will get off the cops didn’t know who he was…
Check out the sports subreddit on this. Clearly a case of police brutality.
The police had traffic blocked due to a fatality. Golf ball boy didn’t want to wait and drove down the median. He was told to stop several times but just kept driving. He was handcuffed and arrested as any of us would be for disobeying a police officer. Brutality? He did this to himself thinking he’s privileged.
I doubt it, it’s clearly a spoiled brat not wanting to comply with the law
Wow.
Why was he released in a short period of time? He must have very powerful friends in city hall? The police officer said he was going to jail.
His arrest was on the cross.
"Don't you know who I am?" -- Scottie
Certainly wasn’t an eagle lol
He could get a new golf ball sponsorship after this. It could be called the Titleist "Entitled"
You and I would still be in jail...
That makes the cop arresting him unjustly ok? Geez
Scottie has won just about everything else, so now he earned some silver bracelets and street cred 😁, nice guy, overreacted cop, but it happens.
Thankfully made tee time and is playing great.
It's pretty sad when cops can't even direct traffic correctly. I hope he sues them in the bankruptcy.
Crazy comment, you are crazyyyy
@@Ligmanutz back the blue till they do it to you.
Yet another “privileged” sports figure.
Or another example of an overly aggressive cop? I haven't seen all the videos and eyewitness accounts, have you?
He will be laughing about it on his yacht
Louisville police do the most
They probably asked for pics and autographs at the station..🤣
Wow! Someone rich and famous getting held accountable.. initially. I’m sure he’ll walk just like everyone else in his tax bracket.
Exactly
But what about his white privilege ????
He made it to the event on time. You or me wouldn't of. Nothing about white privilege its money privilege Tiger would of not even been taken to jail.
Sounds like he tried to use it and was denied by cops. Lol. His entitlement didn't work out.
It would have been 10 times worse Harold Varner or Tiger Woods.
“a white guy got arrested therefore white privilege must not be real”
jesus you’re brilliant
@@jd35711 - don't kid yourself, dude...its real...one exception to the general rule don't make it unreal, lol
I shudder to think what would have happened if he were a black guy. Hopefully his peaceful arrest was because the cops have been trained to avoid violence and not due to white privilege. Im sure I’m not the only person thinking about this.
Getting more like Tiger every day…😂
0:23
This athletes think they are above law and they give us there wisdom on politics at 20 , 30 years old … please
Well remove him from golf
You know once they heard the news. Judge Elihu Smails went running to that Police station to get that player back to their country club. All 32 judges.
Bullies and tyrants strike again 😢😢
Why is he playing golf today?
PGA championship.
Let him out on bond? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The usual justice system doesn't apply to rich people
Cops took it too far.. Coo jumped on his car .. ridiculous
@@SleepisforweakJust stop. He’s not a flight risk, and he posted bond.
I'm just suman. A little jungle juice was involved😅
Wow what e turn around in life
Nah this guy looks and sounds like a typical thug.
Entitlement on display.
The cops?
A pedestrian had been killed on that scene requiring the shut down of the road for investigation.... Scottie made a big time mistake. He's 27... maybe this will help him grow up a bit.
It looked like normal golf fan traffic he normally can proceed around. Easy to get confused when new factors are introduced
@@Erikpdxhow can non-normal golf fan traffic look normal... you know the type with cop cars, ambulances, fire trucks and dozens of first responders on scene?? Furthermore Susan he could have called the tournament organizers... Rule #76 no excuses... play like a champion
No one knew someone had been killed… players are given these special cars to dictate to security they can get through… the cop was dressed like the security guards for these events do… it’s pretty easy to imagine the confusion.
@rorytribbet6424 The fact that nobody knew that someone had died is irrelevant... the confusion aspect is also irrelevant... you obey commands, period. yes, he had a special car, but they didn't know who he was nor did he make himself known prior to the incident... he was trying to bypass the closure, and it appears ultimately arrested for what happened to the police detective who was injured. Scottie wasn't at his best, and I hope he learns from this mistake.
@@didbiddy3480 you're assuming the commands were clear
A man of faith lol
Another privileged person who somehow is confused about the laws.
Well another person now knows what kind of police state we live in
Privilege at its peak smh
Dude tried to drag a cop with his car and walked away with his life and respect intact
and he didn’t even miss tee time 🤦🏾♂️
#AmeriKKKa 🫡
Rich golfers have to obey the law.
Shame on him.
Lulzville Police playing through.
Total incompetence by the police! They should be fired and charged with kidnapping! Really!
Doesn’t matter if you’re a world class golfer, rules are made to be followed no matter who you are.
Stuck throttle probs 😅
thinks hes above everyone else
Were you there? Do you know what happened?
Hope you don’t ever get arrested for following police instructions or doing something else that’s innocent. You won’t have the money to get out of
@@christopher2447 No he wasn't. Just another low class loud mouth making judgements before the facts are in. Sounds like another case of skill and wealth envy.
When Rent A Cops are hired to direct traffic at events such as this. They have no reason to take a golfer and arrest him for not letting him through as he is getting to course to prepare for the tournament.
Obviously the rent a cop, is way out of line.
Just because he’s a golfer doesn’t mean he should get special privileges,everyone should be treated equal regardless of their social status.
Thinking it was a misunderstanding on his part thinking he was above the law. Probably a bit of pushback from the cops because someone just died.
My condolences to the family... 🙏
Facts!!!!!
Who cares, he needs Jesus
So does Africa and all the children with cancer.
If his name was Breonna Taylor he would be dead right now.
I remember her boyfriend shooting at the police. Is that what happened here?
Yeah because breonna taylor is dead right now
another golfer acting like a tool… whats new?
Was it a sobriety checkpoint?
Man of white privilege FA&FO.
Glad he got arrested maybe he will learn hea not untouchable
Seriously, what is with the entitled “celebrities” that think they can do whatever they want.?? They need to be humbled. Just like Morgan Wallen. You have careers to manage. Great job guys. Smh. lol
Scottie thug life
Thinks he’s untouchable & a god so waiting doesn’t apply to him……
Hardly in trouble..... detainment then let go means .... You did nothing and your not in a bit of trouble
Paper ticket violations are nothing from uniformed outa shape freaks .....that equals nothing
He was arrested and booked. Did you not see the orange jail jumpsuit and mug shot?
Projecto 2501 quote: "theres no man made code or law I believe in honoring"
my bad...u had no context. our thought patterns don't match....have a great day however. bye now you seem cool.
FTP
I'm confident that he may have been influenced by something. People do strange things when they are intoxicated and encounter the police.
They shouldn’t let him play this tourney.
Why??
@@vegasmitch1472 punishment for being arrested.
@@rathertiredofthemess2841 i guess but you got to have all the Facts that he's Guilty of a Crime. We've almost all tried to go around a Traffic incident & I've seen guys doing wrong to get around it.
@@vegasmitch1472 he is charged with assaulting a a cop. What more do you need? He’s a baby of privilege…consequences still apply. Shameful of they allow him to play until he has resolved this.
@@rathertiredofthemess2841 Cops in this Kkkountry LIE All the time! Sm1 just reported the cop was in plain clothes & over Zealous. Like i stated people that look like Me Don't Trust 8/10 Terrorist My Bad American cops so until We Know & See the Start of this him being "Charged" can easily be a LIE!
You don’t hang on to a moving vehicle and then cry assault. I am sure they could have alerted other LE the description of his car, license plate number, etc… and they could have blocked him. Poor communication at this fatal accident. I can see holding him accountable for going around the traffic but a felony charge for assault?
When the police say stay back, stay back… dang you wanna get arrested too 🤡…meanwhile gamma radiation is here to stay 🌞⚡️⚡️👀
Dorks wear shorts at 4am!
What he do?? Looking like soft cops.
wrong skin color, crossed wrong border
lets hear his side.
This is a prime example of how the police will lie on you as well! No honor in truth and bravery!
Why are they doing this is the question?
... something is wrong here....he should go to rehab immediately...
He’s going to jail? Are you effin serious?
L
Have none of you ever been confused by police/construction workers directing traffic? They’re not always that clear on what they’re directing you to do. At least wait for body cam footage to assume he was intentionally trying to evade police instruction.
Those who walk in pride God is able to humble.
One more thing, reading the comments is sad, America is broken with all the hate towards the very Christian golfer who just had a child.
