If it was a ‘misunderstanding’ between the different directions officers might have been giving, that would be understandable and forgiveable both on Scheffler AND the police.

Problem with that is all those people were telling the truth, but the government covered it up to protect the PGA in a quid pro quo with the governor. Guaranteed if the police did lie there would be charges.
Only if he takes this opportunity to hold the system accountable. If he walks away then he has failed. He has been given a platform to fight back against the system. Of course he doesn't need money. What about that detective that lied? What about the officers that tried to get him to admit to a crime?

The officer who lied about being "dragged by his vehicle", needs to be placed on the Brady list, as a known liar on sworn statements! The video clearly showed the officer ran into his car, to stop him, out of angry for a perceived idea that he was being ignored! Then, to harm the reputation of a very good man, he lied about being dragged by his vehicle, likely wanting to fleece the taxpayers out of money, for injuries he didn't receive! He also may have thought he could sue Scotty, and take money he did not earn!
The sad part is if that was a normal "citizen" who got falsely arrested for the same incident. The outcome would have been different and their whole life would be ruined because of some lying cop.
Amazing what happens to an officers statement of what happened , vs the actual video of what happened. Makes one wonder how fabricated and jacked up police statements and reports are. Without a lawsuit things don’t change, aren’t exposed and others with less means suffer.
Spot on when he says the tax payers pay and the police don't change their ways.. Why would they, they all keep going on their merry way towards a tax payer provided pension...
great point that he doesn't want to pursue civil litigation because he would be taking tax payer's money! thanks, Scottie. Unfortunately, our money will get spent on 1000 other stupid things instead.
Louisville has paid out 4.5 MILLION dollars over the last 5 years. Near the date of this event they paid out another 650,000 dollars due to a lying detective. Corrupt LMPD continues to violate citizens civil rights ...with NO meaningful repercussions or prosecution. The lawyer is spot on!!!!!!!!! END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!
He also could have sued Valhalla Country Club and the PGA of America. Trying to continue the tournament in the dark and rain resulted in a death. They did not have adequate lighting, traffic control, instructions, etc. And the suspension of activities clearly should have been longer. Trying to rush everyone in caused a needless traffic jam, resulting in all of this.
The Mayor of Louisville promised the PGA that they would provide security for the tournament for free, which would include directing traffic at the event. They couldn’t fulfill the promise and had to write the PGA a check for 140 grand to hire private security. All of this is the city of Louisville’s fault.
@@chriscanzanese5063 Howdy Chris. Thanks for that info. But I wonder, who made the lame brain decision to resume so early in the dark and rain? They have some fault too. The suspension should have been longer, until the rain died down and it was not so dark.

Please file a civil suit. There are so many individuals that do not have the resources, means, and publicity to make an impact. This is not the first time this officer has lied on a police report. He had previously been suspended and failed to activate his body camera for a reason. You are right though, litigation will not help until qualified immunity is removed.
Excellent lawyering. Never talk to the police (especially you're innocent). They are trained to help the politicians in charge (prosecutors) convict you.
So will the police officer who lied on the police report be prosecuted? Video shows not dragged. Two witnesses say he was not dragged. Another dirty cop goes free.
Should of sued, then donated the money to a local group that supports people who cant afford quality representation. This just passes the problem to the next guy without the wealth for this level of legal representation. Love ya Scottie, but opportunity missed
Well we all do not know what the circumstances were at the time, but, I am thankful as and blessed Louisville, police and . Mayor , judge made the right decision
Citizens forget that police conduct most interactions with citizens in a manner tailored to prosecute that individual. From the first breath. Don't talk to police.
You SHOULD SUE them whenever there's a chance to actually win and expose the truth. The taxpayersshould pay and they then need to hold the Chief of Police & Mayor accountable. If the officer in question is involved in a couple of losing lawsuits, it would benefit the citizens & taxpayers.
Scottie should file a civil rights violation lawsuit. If that happens qualified immunity could be revoked as the ignorant cop would be held responsible
Scheffler should sue Det. Gillis, LMPD and the City of Louisville. I am quite certain that what Scheffler had to go through that day because of Det. Gillis' actions interfered with his ability to perform his job to the best of his ability and had an impact on his not winning a PGA title. May I add, I hope that the scrapes and bruises that Det. Gillis suffered to his wrist and knees heal and his uniform pants can be replaced.
I salute Scottie, while he has the means to punish the cops, he still resists. The shame is that’s its time society acts on the aggression of cops, they are trained to abuse that authority, mostly the public despise them, seldom, if ever do they threat the public with respect, they antagonize rather than defuse any situation. Want to cut spending, reduce and disburse members until the public again regard them as respectful. And take the guns away, seldom do they need to defend and when there is violence, send special forces, trained to deal with the situation. Revert to Peace officer and not law enforcement as aggressive as possible.
Really surprised by this, seemed like open an shut case, officer dragged, no body cam on, limited view from video, makes one wonder if the story was embellished by the officer?
So in other words The Cop didn't like that some one didn't BOW to his AUTHORITY and decided to make stuff up ? False reporting of a crime ? Send him down the road and let another jurisdiction deal with the problem , right ? WHAS11 , nice to see a Louisville station not fearful of public comment . Keep the comments open for public interaction , it says a great deal about journalistic integrity .
That cop should should be sacked! Typical of overreaching power hungry people in positions they should never be in. The fact that he had his bodycam turned OFF is typical behavior of "officers" like the clown who detained (and hit) him.
Scott should not let this go. Take it to court and hold the system accountable. Don't want to cost the taxpayers money? Then don't seek moneys. If he walks away then I believe he has failed the society that allows him to make millions playing golf and he fails the men and women that can't fight back against the system.

I guess some people get special privileges and some don’t. What do you think would have happened had that been a random dude from the west end? Promise you he wouldn’t have made a tee time in an hour and charges dismissed after admitting he dragged the officer.
You mean the one that was completely corroborated by eye witness Jeff Darlington? Obviously the reporter wasn't lying, but if so he should be prosecuted along with Wojo who was also a witness and corroborated Darlington's account of Scottie driving away after the cop attached himself to the vehicle. This is a case of pure cover up so as not to harm a billion dollar business and so that Kentucky can still host majors.
@@aland2465 you did see the video right? so you think he was dragged before we see the car turn left, if this cop was dragged...when he got up his gun would have been pulled out when he approached the car.

Great speech. Everybody is over charged. The charges against Scotty was the dumbest biggest joke I have seen.

Completely disagree. Listen to the audio of the police questioning. All the cop does is try to gain information to further entrap Scotty. Never talk to the police! ALSO, in the initial confrontation, the officer NEVER ID's.
That policeman should be held to account for lack of body cam and the upcharging! The moral to the story ALWAYS ASK FOR AN ATTORNEY, DO NOT TALK WITHOUT ONE!
Never talk to the police! Officer should be fired and brought up on criminal charges for false arrest, submitting a false report, and whatever else he can be charged with. Abolish qualified immunity.
My dad taught me a couple of things, one was if a cop asks you “do you know what time it is?”, your answer is yes or no. Don’t tell them the time, don’t elaborate. Answer the question and nothing more.
So if you’re white and disregard the law, you’re good to go but if you’re colored, especially black, the cops can kill you because you didn’t obey the law. Also, he wasn’t polite, he jumped the police line. Maybe if, like his lawyer said he showed restraint, he would have stayed in line like the rest of us.. I liked Scottie before but have lost all respect for him.
So because the damage will get passed on to the tax payers, he doesn’t want to file suit. Sounds like the system working as intended. Government makes a mistake and we pay for it. Or in this case, justice will go unserved because the ones who deserve punishment will pass it along to us. End qualified immunity and stop allowing these tyrants to live off our taxes and put our lives in danger. Make them pay for their crimes, just like they demand we do.
Plain and simple, if the officer was initially dragged as he claimed, all of the other officers would have rushed to the vehicle and not walked to it. I get we see the video after the initial contact but there would have been a much different reaction if Scottie dragged the officer.
@mikes417 It happened just last month with a traffic cop kicking a car and massively injuring his leg as a result. It played out the same. The cop alledged the driver was at fault. The driver was arrested. A bystander had a camera that revealed the cop fabricated a story to blame the driver for his stupidity. Charges eventually dropped. If you want to look it up, the cop is Toby McLaughlin and the driver is David Wargetz
Your point is precisely why they dropped the charges, imagine a jury watching that thinking why aren't those officer's responding to him being dragged?
No repercussions for Detective Bryan Gillis, who would have been happy to see Scotty Scheffler convicted on felony assault charges; he never backed down from his claims about the alleged crime - it was the prosecutor who dropped the charges.
The lawyer has experienced the egomaniacal police so many times, you can hear it in his voice. Striking that his phrase of, "you are one wrong turn away from arrest" which is a damning indictment of policing in America today.
99% of us would be sitting in a jail cell being told to take the plea deal. Please make an example of this PD
Officer should be fired!
Arrested, perjury on a sworn police report.
Totally. Should have been fired when he did donuts in his patrol car
If he had any decency he would quit over his shameful failure. But yes, he should be fired and be facing charges. I would settle for dismissal
Typical
He will just be passed off to another community to make it a problem elsewhere .
Don’t we all wish we could afford a lawyer like him
Maybe Scottie will pay him with golf lessons. LOL!!!
The video shows the officer banging hard on Scottie's car and was probably yelling. The officer is aggressive, a liar and should be fired.
If this sham arrest cost him the Grand Slam, he should sue the Louisville PD for $100 million.
No way to prove he would have won.

So if you’re white and disregard the law, you’re good to go but if you’re colored, especially black, the cops can kill you because you didn’t obey the law. Also, he wasn’t polite, he jumped the police line. Maybe if, like his lawyer said he showed restraint, he would have stayed in line like the rest of us.. I liked Scottie before but have lost all respect for him.
@allinfun829 and leave everything up to you?
If I ever do something wrong (or if I'm accused of doing something wrong), I'm telling my family to find this guy!
The video clearly shows that the cop lied, plain and simple. That's the reason the charges were dropped.
The cop was a damn liar.
Not was, is a liar and always will be!
Most are.
Scottie, you are a class act!
So because the damage will get passed on to the tax payers, he doesn’t want to file suit. Sounds like the system working as intended. Government makes a mistake and we pay for it. Or in this case, justice will go unserved because the ones who deserve punishment will pass it along to us. End qualified immunity and stop allowing these tyrants to live off our taxes and put our lives in danger. Make them pay for their crimes, just like they demand we do.
The LMPD has violated rights so regularly that the city of Louisville is uninsurable.
Perfectly put 👌👌
Who is this lady asking questions. She is ignorant.
And leading with her interrogation.
She's really making herself look foolish. She doesn't seem to understand that the defendant shouldn't have been a defendant in the first place.
@@aarondavis8943 Exactly pure ignorance.
She made a rear of herself.

Don’t talk to the police ya’ll, you got the lesson from this incident
Never ever talk to the police without your lawyer ever
Sounds like thats exactly what the World/Unified Universe wants....you to pay for a lawyer when your innocent.
Sounds like a trap.
Plain and simple, if the officer was initially dragged as he claimed, all of the other officers would have rushed to the vehicle and not walked to it. I get we see the video after the initial contact but there would have been a much different reaction if Scottie dragged the officer.
And why would you be so stupid to try to stop a car with your body
@mikes417 It happened just last month with a traffic cop kicking a car and massively injuring his leg as a result. It played out the same. The cop alledged the driver was at fault. The driver was arrested. A bystander had a camera that revealed the cop fabricated a story to blame the driver for his stupidity. Charges eventually dropped. If you want to look it up, the cop is Toby McLaughlin and the driver is David Wargetz
Your point is precisely why they dropped the charges, imagine a jury watching that thinking why aren't those officer's responding to him being dragged?
No repercussions for Detective Bryan Gillis, who would have been happy to see Scotty Scheffler convicted on felony assault charges; he never backed down from his claims about the alleged crime - it was the prosecutor who dropped the charges.
The lawyer has experienced the egomaniacal police so many times, you can hear it in his voice. Striking that his phrase of, "you are one wrong turn away from arrest" which is a damning indictment of policing in America today.
