So I see no officer being dragged....see him running after the car for about 2 seconds then hurling himself at it. I would charge the cop with filing false report, fire the Chief and kick out the DA for not dropping the charges.
Agree and I live in Louisville. LMPD down hard on made up charges but letting murders off!
Might have been a donuts 🍩 on the dash.Explanes the burst of speed
That cop went there looking to create a situation and lied to justify his actions. He tried to ruin Scheffler's life
@@ks-go9im AGAIN the reason for his body cam to be on!
I wish I could run that fast after being dragged with ripped pants. Was that the officer in the last video? If so, anyone know where I can get pants like that which automatically clean and repair themselves? Tech is awesome! Elon does it again!
Scottie needs to sue the life out of Louisville Police and donate the money to the family of the person who actually lost their life that day.
He doesn’t have to donate anything.
@@zombeystang5908 my bad boss I thought you were required to donate all the money from a lawsuit
Best comment of the year.
His lawyer just announced they won't be taking ba settlement so the cops are pretty fucked
He should donate the money to BLM, cops hate BLM
How can you tell a cop is lying?
His lips are moving!!!
or his camera is turned off
No doubt man, no doubt.
Cop claims his $80 pants were torn beyond repair. Lol, what a liar. #stop resisting 😅
Looks to me like the officer ran at the side of the car and launched himself onto it. 🤔
I totally agree!!
It looks like the cop actually takes a swing at the car at the 29 second mark. He might need counseling.
Yes, seems he has some anger issues!
100% looks like he strikes the window with a flashlight or something like that.
The car needs counseling after being traumatized.
Wait are you telling me that the officer lied. This has to be the 1st time right 😂.
Even with bodycams at every angle possible these pathological liars are rarely held accountable.
Another example of cops exaggerating a scene just to get their way.
Yup
Dear God. How ridiculous. If this is not dropped, the PGA should avoid Kentucky entirely.
Slow people are very stubborn, sounds mean, but it’s true. That stubbornness blocks out rational thinking. I am not from Louisville (thank God) but I’ve been residing here for 16 plus years. I know first hand. It’s truly bananas. They (citizens of Louisville) will not ever admit when they’re wrong. I go to work, then home. Been doing that for years. This place is spooky.
It’s cause they’re all uneducated inbreds good old boys!!!
The pga should never return regardless of how this case ends. Should never have existed in the first place.
The pga should avoid kentucky altogether regardless of how this case ends. Should never have happened in the first place.
Very easy to see that the officer lied! Officer was not dragged in anyway shape or from. Needs to be fired immediately and arrested.
Officer should be tried and sentenced for falsifying a police report. He up and lied to cover his ass knowing he didn’t turn on his body cam and hoping no other cam would provide him evidence.
My money is on Scottie. So far, video shows none of the allegations and an overly aggressive cop that was reprimanded for not activating his camera. Still this DA want's his 15 minutes of fame and will not drop charges! Mindboggling.
Right and makes him look like an idiot! I think he is jealous of this young professional golfer! Scottie has a great character that should not be tarnished from this mess in Kentucky!
I’m from Cleveland Ohio, & have lived in Louisville for 16 years, they all think they’re tough here, & everybody walks around with these weird ass chips on their shoulders. This place is super crooked.
moral of the story-don't ever believe the cops
So so true. “Dragged by the vehicle” my ass. Cop trying to make it sound like he couldn’t get Scottie to stop and was forced to jump on the side of the vehicle and try to hang on for 20 yards. What a joke. Guess he also thinks if he doesn’t turn on his body cam nobody will see what actually happened. Complete clown show.
No one does!
And they are never our friends
An EYEWITNESS, Jeff Darlington, who SAW THE INCIDENT, confirmed that a police officer was "attached" to the car and was dragged about 15 yards. It happened. What you cannot see on the video is behind the huge bus. Scottie ran his car up onto the curb to get around the bus after the cops told him to stop. What kind of person driving a car, comes up to dozens of yellow-vests and flashing lights, and doesn't just STOP? Scheffler is an idiot and deserved to get arrested.
I don’t think, anyone trust cops in 2024😂
So my observations 1. Definitely don't see proof of a police officer being "dragged 20-30 ft". 2. The clip where Scottie is in cuffs walking past the dash cam, you can see 2 cars clearly making the EXACT SAME LEFT TURN Scottie was trying to make, unbothered by police...like wtf is going on??!
This video released is not that of the police officer being dragged. It is the interaction after

@@someguysomewhere6988 are there eyewitness accounts of the officer being dragged? I’m surprised I haven’t seen any quotes or comments from folks who witnessed this “assault”.
I’m going to tell U what’s going on, I’ve been living in this God forsaken place for 16 years, & it has been nothing but unimaginable BULLSHIT. The stories I could tell…U wouldn’t believe me. I’m from Cleveland Ohio, & as soon as I get a chance I’M OUT of Louisville. & nothing is going to happen at all to the arresting officer trust me.
@@someguysomewhere6988then if that's the case why didn't the other 5 or 6 other officers there immediately run over to assist the officer after he got dragged ? They showed no sense of urgency nor did they even have their body cams on too. Doesn't meet the beyond reasonable doubt standard for a jury much less common sense.
Busted…they better drop this case immediately
That cop is a bald faced liar. He should be arrested for lying on the police report. That's called perjury. But instead let's double down on our bullshit and continue to push felony charges on an innocent person.
The other cops on scene are just as dishonorable as the lieing arresting cop
The cop is such a liar!!! 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Citizens of Louisville will lie at the drop of a dime. Those are facts.
If the cop violated department policies and procedures by NOT turning on his body cam, and the street CCTV doesn't support the officer's account, the officer has no credibility.
Felony charges? WTF
Gillis should be fired for filing a felony charge. Only a psychopath does something that evil
Get a dash camera if you don't have one
The officer is LYING. He probably ruined his pants by lying - liar, liar, pants on fire!
😂😂
Another cop caught in a lie
The criminal finally got caught and it's not Scottie
Breaking News: The police lie again!
Again meaning a second time, right? Haha!
I’ve been there many, many times driving through areas where the police are directing traffic and being totally confused as to where the heck the officer is trying to tell me where to go. There were plenty of other officers and bystanders on the scene. Did any of them see him getting dragged by the car???
They’re ALWAYS confused, EVERYBODY. I’m from Cleveland Ohio, been living in Louisville for 16 plus years.
Cause their from Louisville and don’t know their left from right lol
Drop all charges if you know what's best for the city considering your in the wrong LPD......
at 0:28 you can clearly see the officer run into the car.. wasn't dragged. Unfortunately there is a bigger problem in the deparment than the arrest of Mr. Sheffler. Does it seem strange to you that NOT ONE PERSON (Police or otherwise) came forward and said "hey! that's not what happened". Not one. And from the video(s) there appears to be quite a few people on scene working the accident site. So the only thing I can surmise is that the mindset of the department is to cover for a bad cop (I saw nothing). They saw it but elected to remain silent.
How do you fix that? You know the answer ..start at the top and clean house.
That's funny... you really think a cop is going to call out another cop in front of civilians for doing something wrong😂😂😂
So he just blatantly lied and police around him didn’t say anything?
the Prosecutor is as corrupt as the Police...
the "Officer" committed false arrest, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, mis-malfeasance, falsifying charges, falsifying government documents, deprivation of rights; the "Officer" is also the sole cause if 95% of his injuries (latching onto a moving automobile when he could have (being an accident scene recreation expert) instead pounded on the hood or trunk to get the driver's attention)...
the Prosecutor is also REQUIRED to disclose exculpatory evidence, AND prosecute the "Officer" if there is evidence of the "Officers" wrong doing...
If there is any true Justice the "Officer" should not be being treated as thought everything he did was lawful, and everything Scottie did was unlawful...🤔
A cop that lies 😱!! 🤔
When a cop screws up.. its the hardest thing to do for them admit they were wrong.. say I was wrong in my actions. I did violate police procedures and protocols...now the cheif looks like a idiot. Integrity looks like Swiss cheese with blue shoe prints in dirty water, Because she can't explain the felony charges placed on this golfer...hmmm? It's like you rather go the extra mile to hide your misconduct then take the loss & give a public apology.. even if the guy doesn't win at golf.. he's going to definitely win this case. And the cheif gets one more bad mark on her public opinion chart for lack of confidence to protect...her integrity is ruined by her own officers. The would be considered self-inflicted sabotage on the chief's part..
Watched the New Videos
1st Video doesn't show much.
2nd Video shows
1. Up to 6 Officers there who evidently didn't have their body cams on either.
2. Doesn't show the Officers supposed fall.
Though Witnesses from ESPN. One says the Officer attached to his car. 2nd says officer tripped.
3. Shows Gillis smashing the Window with force. aka Why his wrist would hurt.
4. Shows the Officer running at the car. Not injured but pissed.
Pretty fast Donut eater that out runs an excellerating car.
Especially with all those injuries.
5, Shows the officer thrusting and Jerking in the Window and at Scottie. Shows who was Aggressive. Maybe he neeeds a felony.
Your lucky Scottie.When cops in louisville lose their temper. People get shot.
I bet shining that flashlight in people's faces and screaming at them. Really makes them understand who you are. No identification on your clothes.
Banging on his window. I bet Scottie said. Thank God I'm safe now.
Pulling Scottie out of the car. Jamming him into the vehicle. Scottie makes money with his body. Let alone destroyed his chances for the PGA Championship. Something he trained for all year. Hes only 27 once.
6. Shows Brake lights as the Officer catches the Car. All happened very fast. A second at Most?
Verses I was Dragged lie.
7. Shows slow driving. Verses he Excelerated and tried to run me over. Obvious lie. Intent etc etc.
My Opinion.
Bryan Gillis needs investigated,
His background and Business,
He testifies to litigate settlements for people.
He knows how to manufacture a Crime,
Maybe Vegas money trying to fix a tournament.
Or a Civil case shakedown.
This officer is not right.
Louisville Police department is the Poster child for corruption.
7 FBI investigations. Sextortion. Sex favors. Drug money etc etc All reported on.
Police were there for one reason.
Get the pros in. Keep the fans off them.
Not molest the #1 Golfer for a Payday.
Scottie should never have been Arrested.
This should have never made it this far.
Prosecutor. What are you thinking? Notoriety? Ambitious?
Just a Huge Travesty. Embarrassment.
But by all Means. Double down. Let the World see who you are.
Whispering to the PGA. Find a Different Venue for a Tournament.
Free Scottie!!!!
This is complete BS.
Cops have a difficult job to do, but cops also sometimes lie, as in this case.
It seems cops have an easy job because they have immunity for many crimes and rarely face consequences - I don't know if you can consider a job hard if there are no consequences for failing at it.
I have a difficult job to do. But if I embezzle client money.....
A lot of people have hard jobs.
Not SOMETIMES, pretty much whenever their ass is on the line.
It seems like they were blocking the other road, and then chased his car for no reason. And, then to claim assault and arrest someone for a misunderstanding? Good luck with the lawsuit. I see no crime committed.
Yep no dragging. Another lying cop. A couple bad apples right?
Maybe it WAS on but it shows the Officer violating Policy and the Rights of Scottie, like reaching into the vehicle, being a Tyrant. There have already been lies told in this case, eg, dragged by the vehicle. This doesn't look good for the Police Dept.
He stopped immediately when the cop approached, cop said he was dragged 10yds and pants ripped beyond repair LOL!
No body cam, good bye
I knew as soon as this story came out the cop was lying about getting hurt or dragged or any of that crap. I’m for police 100% but the fact that he turn this into a serious felony under a lie, he should be immediately fired and all charges dropped. It’s clear from this video, no way did Scottie do anything but drive through as he thought he was supposed to and the cop freaked out on his authority kick! In Louisville defense, this is the bunch that the DOJ stepped in and took over who they hire! What you get is unprofessional, unqualified people. Just Step up and fire the one cop and drop charges. Do the correct thing quickly and decisively for a change!
How is it just an issue of one cop if the Louisville Metro PD felt confident in filing and releasing a report that states, "subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground. Detective Gillis suffered pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knee ... Detective Gillis' uniform pants, valued at approximately $80 were damaged beyond repair." ??? Also worth noting: this is the same police department whose officers falsified info for a search warrant and covered up the existence of additional body cam footage after they shot and killed Breonna Taylor in 2020, after which the DOJ found "The Louisville Metro Police Department engaged in systemic civil rights abuses and excessive-force misconduct in the years leading up to the 2020 police killing of Breonna Taylor."
@@AustinTolin because they needed to justify his overreactions, plain and simple. The report is also filled out by the arresting officer, not the whole department. I’m not saying the whole department is a problem, but I know and have seen this Department in action and they have several in it that act like bullies and are what I would call very unprofessional. Their would be no logical reason to not allow the marked cars with golfers threw to begin with, so it makes sense that someone upstream told him to pass, but then this off duty cop felt he was disrespecting or whatever and wasn’t in sync with other. You see 2 things clearly in the short second video. He was not speeding off when he removed Scottie from the car and he was not being dragged or abused in anyway. This was a stupid move by one stupid cop and then he tried to justify it by exaggerating what happened. The fact they charge him with a felony for a traffic violation is a joke and it’s clear from the same video that he is completely cooperating, not showing any aggression or disrespect! So it’s called common sense!
Called it. Dumb aggressive cops escalating a nothing burger situation into spurious felony charges. Someone check and see if that cop owes anyone money might have been a gambit to affect the Vegas odds by making him miss the tournament or throw his game off
It is astounding that the Louisville "authorities" are insisting on letting this drag on and on (no pun intended). Are there no adults in positions of power with common sense in Louisville?
What about the other cops' body cams?
The real reason the cop didnt have bodycam is because he was singing "scotty doesnt know"
The officer angrily marched to Scheffler's moving SUV and could have been brushed before Scheffler stopped. That was the officer's doing. Scheffler seemed to be doing what he thought was correct for him as a participant in the tournament. The fact that the officer didn't have his body cam on should be cause to dismiss the charges for insufficient evidence. I don't think there is enough there for a felony "assault" on a police officer.
Of coarse he didn’t have his body cam on 🤷♀️🤦♀️
over the last several years cameras have showed what an absolute joke cops are in this country... this is par for the course. This criminal cop should be charged with multiple felonies including lying on a police report, turning off his body camera, & kidnapping
You’re an absolute fucking moron. Cameras have shown that cops are right 99.9% of the time in an absolutely impossible job. God, I wish SO MUCH that the cops would just walk off the job and quit. Then there’d be no one to protect you from people like me when you’re on here running your cockholster. Absolutely 100% guarantee you’re black with a criminal record.
The best camera angle is in the last dash camera here, where it will clearly see the accused Scotty a few meters before turning to the golf club, this is crucial to see the truth of the accusation that official Gillis dragged Scotty's car and end up into the hospital resulted by car attacked, but this video has been censored by the police so that his false accusations are not seen because they are afraid to be sued, I am curious whether Gillis's body camera and other officials are also censored like this, who knows.
Has anyone seen pictures or any evidence of the officer's ripped $80 pants or of the officer's alleged injuries?
Police acting out and making up stories yet again 😂
Cop seems irritable
Nothing more dangerous than security theater.
Shocker. The cops lied. 😂
A misunderstanding? It's blatant corruption.
It almost looks like the police officer ran after the truck and through him self at it .
I also see no officer being dragged, but I do see an officer running up to the car and STRIKING it. According to the chief at her press conference, the officer was acting in accordance with Louisville Police Dept. Policy. Some policy. The officer split his pants all by himself.
I thought cops never lie
I'd also like to know if the bus driver that hit and killed John Mills was arrested.
The crooked cop has 6. I said 6 disciplinary actions against him. And I guess this is 7 because he should have had his camera on. Always one that ruins it for the excellent police officers out there
ACAB 🐽
2nd degree felony assault on a officer...LOL!
This cop should be charged with a felony of an attempted assault. If the car window broke, Scottie would’ve suffer some bad injuries.
hmmm, what's curious to me is how you see cars being waved into the golfclub from 2m55s as he's been escorted away in handcuffs
Cop tryna get a payout saves u a watch
I think we all know what would happen to us if we didn’t have the monetary weight notoriety and the lawyer on retainer.
He didn't do anything! UNBELIEVABLE
Question for the reporter did you see the Office officer strike the vehicle. Why don’t you mention that?
That reporter was trying really hard not to say anything to support shepter.
Like in elementary school where none of the kids "saw anything " when the teacher asks what happened.
All theater by this mayor and chief
Drop charges
Looks like cop was running beside his vehicle smacking on the window,not being hit
Will never take my family on vacation to Louisville again !!
Wow! This was a new revelation well worth broadcasting.
It's funny that POC should follow instructions, but a PGA player can drive thru a road block...
dang racists cops
Charges have just been dropped.
I bet he gets off. Some people are treated differently by the law. So was the video deleted or was his camera on?
Camera was not on which was against LMPD policy and they supposedly have reprimanded but that reprimand was a verbal don’t do that. Just ridiculous and should already have charges dropped! Scotty needs to sue for defamation!
Cameras DON'T LIE and I sure don't see ANYONE being assaulted!! 👎😡
The problem with that is cameras can be manipulated. So you never know what you're really seeing sometimes
If you DID NOT think "Ok, lets see what really happened and most likely the cop is lying" then you're not living in reality.
It doesn’t show anything new at all
Scottie getting ready to buy Louisville
Gangster cops owning that blue
Poor Shane Gillis I thought he was doing well in comedy 😂😂😂😂
Boycott Louisville Kentucky forever.
This is why Blacks show we don't get a fair shot in this prejudice justice system 😢
Bad cops make life hell for good cops. Don’t make it out like all in blue are bad. They deserve our support. This is just one more of example of blowing things out of proportion. The cop made a mistake as well. Just omit your wrongs learn from it and move on . Scottie lawyers are even giving the officer a chance . Learn and move on !
Bad cops make life hell for the citizens they swore they would protect
That cop just put Scot’s new kid through college, nice hire Louisville
Propaganda. It’s clear this isn’t the full video and ABC simply cut to the last couple seconds of the interaction. They should be sued
He had his body camera on. He just knew if people saw it they would know he was lying about what happened.
What story do you think the cops will make up about the video?
So....... the officer couldn't control his emotions.... got angry....and is trying to get even and paid..... SICKENING
What a mess.
I sure hope that a video is needed to charge somebody!
Breaking News : Louiseville police are corrupt
I'll be honest with you. The officer has had several not 1-2-3-or 4 complaints by our citizens of Louisville but 5 or more complaints . Game over
Your suspended from duty. & I would call my mayor. & tell him everything is back to normal.
The officer chased his car and struck it with his arm/fist.
Fire the officer.
Take them all to court now.
Not much to see here so you can’t conclusively corroborate either one’s testimony. If the cop did lie, there is no need to paint the entire police force with the same brush. There are bad apples in any occupation. How about we quit generalizing.
I stopped watching golf when the PGA started taking money from sources linked to the 9 -11 attacks. Also I'm a road construction worker and have zero sympathy for anyone who blatantly disregards traffic laws, putting workers, safety crews, or law enforcement in harms way. No business being on the shoulder. Zero.
I bet 100 bucks that cop bet that he would lose in the PGA tour and that's why he arrested him to insure his payday
Abused of power.. very common in the States.
Did he punch or kick the cop?
Why was the golfer trying to go around the traffic stop? Because he had to go to a golf game? Did an officer tell him to go around?
What, is he so entitled?
Get the priorities correct people. He has no right to drive around any type of police barricade.
Another police officer with an overreaction to the situation. PTSD, anxiety (quick to get angry) symptoms. Its hard being a police officer and not get anxiety issues with the job. Scheffler will most likely and should get this dismissed due to insuffiscient evidence seen in the videos.
