🔴 NOT LEGAL ADVICE
I was SO surprised to hear the cop's camera was turned off.
I was too LOL !!
So was I. Cops never have their cameras turned off. 🙄
That is an incentive to put your camera on!
@@michaelragusa5138 Only if they want you to see what they are doing......
I'm not. Louisville cops...enough said
"Attaching himself to the car" is a key point here, as well. NOWHERE is this in any law enforcement training on how to deescalate or handle any situation. No protocol was followed on the side of law enforcement. Just a rogue cop who thinks he's the Punisher because he has a gun and a badge.
Seems like an arrogant move for sure.
Ya, cops like that give me secondhand embarrassment
Plus the fact that ESPN wasnt contacted yet tells me they could be waiting to see if this goes to trial before both sides contact ESPN.
Perhaps the cop knew who was in the car and thought he could sue the golfer for ‘injuries’.
@@Creative-Chaos a frecking amen. he was looking for the first golfer he could find to take the distraction off the tragedy of a volunteer being killed trying to cross a dangerous intersection.
The most believable part of this story is that an LEO gave confusing directions resulting in a conflict 🤦♂️
And then lied through his shit-biscuits down the line, having turned off his video to protect the guilty. And he'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling golf scores.
What an embarrassment to the town. I have formal LEO exp and I can't believe this even happened. Golfers are treated like royalty at these tournaments. Sheff is one of the nicest guys ever. Its raining and there lights flashing everywhere. It's difficult to even see what's going on outside your car. I think.youre exactly right. This deal went zero to 100 in 30 seconds. Officers have a responsibility to deescalate situations so they don't get out of hand. Cop had zero common sense.
Why are they treated like royalty? He just a guy who has a talent. He is not entitled.
Sounds like the police officer was "entitled." I would say it was a pride thing. And I'm a law enforcement supporting guy......but if you are wrong or overreact there is nothing wrong with saying I'm sorry....
@@kristinerwalsh a guy who has talent at GOLF at a GOLF TOURNAMENT you doofus
100% agree...and I too have prior LEO experience.
@@kristinerwalsh They're treated like royalty because they bring millions of dollars into the local economy. What are the odds that the successful local businessmen who own Valhalla are on close personal terms with the Mayor of Louisville?
Thanks for keeping us updated. Based on everything including no body cam, charges will be dropped. This is an embarrassment. Scheffler was a class act throughout this ordeal. I'm sorry he went through this. However it shines a light on that police department, their history and what others have had to go through. Not all police officers are bad or go rogue. Yet it takes one cop to expose what needs to be dealt with or reformed in terms of trainings, etc. You can't hide or sweep this news under the rug anymore now that we have social media.
Its not just one bad cop, it takes a whole force to ignore or protect the bad cop, and thats the problem.
Good points by all.
I’ve been confused too when cops are redirecting traffic. They’re quickly moving both hands pointing all over the place. The cops should do better
I agree. I've been confused with cops directing traffic, with areas on local hwys where DOT is working and trying to direct traffic and in school zones. I feel for Scottie. Saw his interview on ESPN when I was working for a client who was filling me in. He seems like a nice guy. I hope the truth prevails.
For sure. So in those situations when several uniformed officers ask you to stop repeatedly, do you think that would end your confusion of what to do?
I’m pretty sure your next move would not be to accelerate your vehicle with one of those officers attached. I am sure you would be not dumb enough to do that and expect no consequences.
Totally agree 3627 !!! And to add to your great point/s, modern day POE LEASE cars have their "red & blues" intensities set way too high. You got these ultra high intense lights pulsating in a strobe like manner and especially if the roads are wet, you can't even see the lines on the road. The POE LEASE cars need to cut the intensity by at least 50%. ESPECIALLY if there's many POE LEASE cars at the scene. How TF do the POE LEASE expect John Q Public to know WTF to do when they are being blinded ??
Why did all the other vehicles understand and knew what to do? He, scottie, was the only one who didn't? everyone else knew what to do. If he had just stopped and showed his credentials to the cop, the cop would have let him through if that was indeed the right way to go. Not confusing at all
@@aland2465 Did you see how slow he was going and if you look closely he had his brakes on the majority of the time. So to say he accelerated his vehicle is an exaggeration makes it sound like he stepped on it.
Thank you for covering this. As a resident of the city of Louisville, I am embarrassed for our city and police department. I can only hope that Scottie Scheffler does not hold any animosity for the city of Louisville after all of this.
I got on to express this same sentiment. I’m a Louisville native too and I feel ashamed of this whole situation.
Prosecutor may see no case
Same. Every time LMPD makes the news, I cringe.
Welcome to Louisville.
As someone not from Louisville. I am never ever EVER setting foot in that town. Seems like even an out of state license plate you might catch a felony which could actually lead to an officer shooting ANYBODY.
Someone from the press has footage of the incident and said it would be released. Now suddenly no footage & all charges being dropped.
I thought it was the already released video from the ESPN guy.
@@calliew311 What?
The footage released day-of was just of the aftermath
Boo hoo
@@wowzers1069 the guy who took the video of Scottie being arrested.
LMPD has a reputation for escalating rather than de-escalating situations. The department is under a Federal consent decree detailing 90 pages worth of civil rights and use of excessive force violations.
If that's true, it certainly answers a lot of the "whys."
BOOM! Mic drop
thanks for putting out what so many already know. louisville police have a corrupt miscreant law enforcement problem that they refuse to address...
Just LMPD? Try every department across the country.
By the evidence they did their best to de-escalate. Not much you can do when someone repeatedly disobeys orders. What would you have had him do? Typically drawing a firearm is the play that doesn't seem prudent with all the bystanders present in a crowded area. Reality is whatever he did to get compliance he, his lawyer and the media would have deemed the wrong thing as they always do when it fits their narrative. Bottom line, Scotty needs to take accountability for his actions.
I'll tell you this, as a huge golf fan, Scottie actually could prob sue the PD after his round where he fell apart, he could've won without the arrest, or at least be higher than tied for 8. He straight up said he didn't process what actually happened until the next day and AFTER a talk with his lawyer. He was traumatized, his image took a hit, and he went down to 8th place. I mean, come on, he didn't do anything wrong, and I'm sorry, but with no body cam and with eye witnesses, and the video of poor Scottie asking for help, it just makes the Louisville PD look bad again, and I thought after federal investigation after Brianna Taylor they would watch their P's and Q's. Guess I was wrong.
He should sue anyway for all of the civil rights violations and the slander against him. He should sue that town into bankruptcy. Back the blue till they do it to you.
Qualified immunity
He most certainly needs to sue every cop involved in that conspiracy to manufacture bogus charges and false arrest. On video the cop even said he is being arrested and there is nothing you can do about it. Those cops are a menace.
Scottie has every right to hold all involved in this ridiculous debacle accountable~Yet, I do not believe he and his wife would want to take that route...Instead, want to move-on from it!!
Qualified immunity needs to be abolished
That policeman should not be dealing with the public, if he “mischaracterized” ANYTHING that happened. Doing something like that to a ($) poor person, would ruin their entire lives. How many people has he done something like that to before? I doubt it would be the first time, if he’s a detective. Every miss-justice has a huge effect on the family and friends of that person & changes feeling of the community about ALL police in the area. It doesn’t only affect their feelings about THAT cop, but ALL cops. That adds to the danger they already face in their jobs. If ANYTHING he said was inaccurate, this is not victimless, and the officer should be at a desk or “retired”. Imo
Actually what should happen is the POE LEASE be defunded. Then the POE LEASE abolished. It's time for humanity to END state sanctioned monopolization of SECURITY. POE LEASE were originally derived from the original Slave Catchers. When slavery was abolished, instead of abolishing the slave catchers, {which is what SHOULD have happened}, "they" repurposed the slave catchers and turned them into the POE LEASE. When you have POE LEASE + a State, you have a POE LEASE STATE. Security in of itself is a GOOD thing. But State sanctioned monopolization of SECURITY is a VERY BAD thing.
There was a crime committed. There were many felonies committed by several cops.
he was told to follow the traffic to get in. but he decided he didn't have to wait and got stopped. then instead of following orders he decided again to take another road. he ran a road block. simple.
@diegojines-us9pc very simple. Cops are so incompetent that they can't even direct traffic. Then they blame us, the citizens.
This reminds me when a cop was directing traffic and someone went by the cop got mad kicked the vehicle and him kicking the vehicle causes him to fall, then the cop tried to blame the car and charge with assault be vehicle on an officer. Luckily someone had a dash cam and it showed the cop kicking the car which is what caused him to fall.
How is this situation in any way comparable?
this video is on youtube but alas i don't recall the name of the video. Your description is accurate. From what I recall the cop faced discipline for violating policies, and the driver had his felony charge downgraded to misdemeanor not following a traffic command.
@@chanmanmedia5845 LOL that is your smoking gun? One person he arrested was charged and found GULITY of a lesser offence? If that is the worst incident he ha been involve in sounds like he will be a superstar witness for the state.
@@aland2465 sorry, buddy, but I just made some factual statements. How you interpret them is is your bias, not mine.
-this video is on youtube: correct
-I dont recall the name of the video: correct
-the original poster accurately described the video: correct
-the cop faced discipline for kicking somebody's car: correct
-the driver was charged with felony hit and run on a police officer but downgraded to "not following a traffic command" after the video was made public: correct
@@chanmanmedia5845 I understand. What I am saying is your facts say nothing. The DA's always charge people with the highest possible and most varied charges at the start, and in almost all cases they are significantly downgraded once all the evidence is in.
The problem is lying cops. 😢😢😢
And we thought body cams would solve it, but it continues...
That’s just part of the problem, but I’d argue that it’s the result of a bigger problem: a systemically corrupted organization who barely even keeps the facade of keeping their oath. Like many hierarchical, paramilitary orgs, they largely hire egotistical, ignorant order followers who lack critical thinking and integrity.
Also, what kinda smooth brain do you have to be to grab onto a moving vehicle?
And that my friend,is the butt hurt truth.
Cops can't turn on a body camera?
But sure can make up a story.
The problem this cop has are the guys with ESPN saw everything.
Lying cops ?????? They all lie
Bad cops make good cops look bad
The officer attaching himself to the car is an outrageous move and that officer is entirely responsible for what happened to himself. His maneuver is the reason why he was injured. Not because there was someone behind the wheel with their foot at the accelerator. What a stupid cop that guy is because he injured himself. There must be something in law enforcement training that teaches cops not to attach themselves to a vehicle. Because this would be the logical outcome, serious injury. I don't even have a clue about Sheff but I can tell that he's innocent. Charges should immediately be dropped.
It was a pro golfer. After he got "seriously hurt" he could sue for millions. I'd bet he has already picked out some new car.
Exactly. Saw his opportunity to file a lawsuit.
That’s a pretty insane take. Did Scottie have the right to shoot the cop as well? No words.
@@edwardscott3262I don't think the cop has a lawsuit. It was his own actions that got him injured. It's hard to sue someone when you're the one who has acted like a dumbass. 😅
@@aland2465Little stretch don’t You think !!!!!
Shocking. No bodycam.
They were wearing their big ass rain jackets
Let me tell you what my experience was coming from rideshare and trying to cross the road to get into the tournament. There were three lanes there buses and cars coming. When I came up to the road there was a handful of traffic officers or cops and they were cutting up and paid. No attention to me and gave me no instructions to stop or go. I had to do it on my own and I noticed it wasn't safe so I didn't go and I was afraid they might jump me if I did the wrong thing. So I waited until I thought it was safe and they still did not give me an instruction to cross the road. I was totally ignored and I realized how easily a situation like this could have happened
What a debacle this is 🤦🏼♀️
LE should be embarrassed
Everyone who pretends to be pro law and order and criticizes the law for doing his job should be embarrassed.
It is the problem of some of the law enforcement officer is ignoring the order part that is the issue... No one has any issue with the law part
When done properly
@@SandyKnauerMorgan I don't think law enforcement did its job, I think he went overboard and was a little bit power hungry. I have absolutely no problem with law and order
@@SandyKnauerMorgan No one is pretending, unless you are.
You should be embarrassed you left such a ridiculous comment.
Reasonable explanation is the officer ran alongside the car (unreasonable) then grabbed for the car as he was tripping and falling and exaggerated what happened (typical common behavior).
Exactly what I envisioned when Wischusen was describing what he saw. Then he blamed Scottie for his 'injuries' and used him as the scapegoat for the report he was going to have to file explaining his 'injuries'.
Exaggerated? You misspelled lied!
@@BK-zp8vlmore like you miss spelled committed felony perjury on a sworn statement.
How convenient that the officer didn’t turn on his bodycam
Why is a detective trying to direct traffic? Was attaching himself to the car or running next to the car in the rain a show of POWER. And conveniently no body cam. Certainly not a good look for LOUISVILLE. This golfer is a gracious person, always kind, not a jerk. Perhaps the State Attorney should admit this was a misunderstanding by all. Swallow your pride for the good of your community. ⛳️
This case is about disregard for regulations and recklessness. Detective Bryan Gillis - the officer directing traffic in this case - failed to wear a body-cam in violation of Section 4.31.6 of LMPD's body-worn camera procedures. Witnessed say Gillis got agitated when he thought Scottie Scheffler disregarded his instructions. Why would an officer grab hold of a moving vehicle in the rain? That's plain stupid. The officer had a flashlight. Why didn't the officer go up to Scheffler - who was stopped and driving a clearly marked PGA Courtesy car no less - and ask who he was? Scheffler would have said he's a PGA pro playing in the tournament and the officer would have directed him around any traffic issues to get to the clubhouse. End of story. Clearly Gillis has an attitude and ego problem.
Let's assume Scheffler actually did something very wrong and reckless. The prudent course of action is to watch him drive into the parking lot, follow him, and make an arrest when he parks. Simple. Police officers do this hundreds of times a day. Why weren't the Louisville Police and PGA staff outside directing players and credentialed media around the traffic mess? The Louisville Police Department looks like a clown act in this case. Pathetic.
Facts, none of the cops actions are under scrutiny. This shit is getting old, most cops are straight up tard robot order followers
so we agree he drove thru a road block. the rest doesn't matter in this case. thats a case for the courts and the cop. but running a roadblock and disobeying a lawful order is this case.
Thanks for covering, this is my hometown.
Looks like yall are getting a new chief of police soon. Lol.
@@nbt3663 it should be looked at!
ruclips.net/video/l1LHX4EDBfc/видео.htmlsi=oNVRKHdJzEaJmetH
This is a bad look for small town corrupt police departments. Really embarrassing for them. No one believes the charges as charged are correct.
Not really that small
Louisville is a dump, but it is not small. It is a pretty large dump.
The cop thought he flunked the attitude test. You are always going to be arrested if you flunk the attitude test.
And you don't even have to have an attitude if the cop is a power hungry thug.
Bad cops make good cops look bad.
This is the kind of thing that happens when LEOs and others in the "justice" system think they ARE the law instead of human beings with a sacred and sworn duty to uphold and defend the law (not break it).
Contempt of cop
Cops get pissed when they have to direct traffic, especially a detective.
Agreed, and then some jerk thinks he doesn't need to follow instructions, and that never goes well.
@@arethereanyuniquehandles This was not some jerk not following instructions. By the way, was the person who hit and killed the pedestrain ever caught, arrested, brought in? That was most likely an accident too, given the rain, darkness etc.. Would think this was the bigger issue here.
@@dianeeldredge9031 Sorry it wasn't some jerk, it was a pampered athlete jerk. Is that better? He thought his right to get to the course outweighed any direction from the officer. And it was a shuttle bus that hit the pedestrian, so don't imagine the driver ran away, and by all means it was described as an accident, likely meaning the pedestrian stepped out in front of the bus.
The cop has the IQ of a peanut if he grabbed the car and did not let go! No police officer is trained to do that. He is an endangerment to himself and probably society. He should have been instructed about the PGA courtesy cars that are provided to the stars of the event for identification. He should have aided Scheffler in getting thru the traffic at the gate and not obstructed his effort!
If the charges are dismissed then the cop needs to be charged with making a false report....
Ya, that doesn't happen.
Qualified immunity, my dude. Not gona happen.
Qualified immunity
The most important thing here is look how easy it is to get arrested and have your entire life ruined in our society. It's absolutely awful
This was all show and nothing else. Dude is such a great guy. Some cop was just being a jerk. 💯 charges will be dropped.
Imagine that! Cop isn’t a morning person.
Great guy? If he i so great why didn't he do what he was told to do....STOP THE CAR? He just thought he was better than everyone else and could do what ever he wanted.
@trainmaster0217 spoken like someone who doesn't have a clue about the situation or the character of the people involved
The character of the people? I will place a strong bet that you have no personal knowledge of anyone involved, including Scheffler. Unless you feel a strong iron game tells you all you need to know about his character.
@@trainmaster0217you have no idea what you're talking about. This is the word of a police officer that was trying to stop a moving car for absolutely no reason
I think the charges will get dropped. Not enough evidence especially with no dash cam
No evidence means that the victim cannot prove his innocence. Tie generally goes to the government, regardless of what the law says.
@@thorinpalladino2826 You can bet Scottie's absolutely clean history will factor into this decision. Nobody wants to be that guy that charges him for something that should have been de-escalated from the get go. Gillis grabbing onto a moving car under those circumstances wasn't the brightest move on his part. Some sources say that Gillis actually was trying to run alongside the vehicle, slipped and fell. Scottie wasn't going anywhere in that traffic so it was definitely an overreaction.
Prove your innocence? What fucking country you live in communist? You’re innocent until proven guilty and as a former federal agent the burden is on the state not the defendant. There is no tie, it’s either put up or shut up
Make no mistake, there is body cam footage and dashcam footage. They don't want anyone to see it.
Are you for real? Several credible witnesses including reporters on the scene and several police officers. You think you need video of a crime being committed? That accounts for maybe 1% of convictions and of the other 99% very few have several witnesses.
Please keep covering this story. The Incompetent LMPD is pursuing this case with a new court date of June 3, where he has to appear in person. This is an injustice and an embarrassment to the city of Louisville. I’m a citizen of Louisville and am afraid of what this is doing to our reputation.
I don't feel safe there now. Looks like I will be vacationing elsewhere. 😮
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where do you think you're going in that clearly mark official PGA tournament car with the player decal on it?
What a cluster! Why? Police not properly identified, police body cams not on, working, etc.,
Not to mention, every player has the right to go around a news organization vehicle to arrive to their practice time in basically stopped traffic in such a traffic delay. It’s not entitlement, it’s common sense. I cannot believe they arrested him instead of just making him get back in line. Is Louisville PD just waiting to make certain somebody doesn’t have cellphone video of the entire event and the cops interactions with the car?
Thanks for covering this
This cop is so screwed. Apparently, he owns a company that provides expert testimony in vehicle crashes. Does anyone not think that any opposing attorney will use this incident as "Exhibit A" to attack the credibility of this officer if he testifies in any case in the future?
He's going to be hearing a lot of "aren't you the idiot who grabbed onto Scotty's car and strained your pants?"😂😂😂
Sounds like the OJ trial all over again. I am sure “justice” will prevail in the same manner when they put the system on trial despite the overwhelming evidence of Scottie’s guilt.
Exactly how does this harm his credibility?
He plans on suing Scottie and City of Louisville in the meantime he is probably looking at a deep investigation into his life.
@@aland2465 When three witnesses directly contradict the officer's version, the officer has a credibility problem.
Thank you for continuing to cover Peter. Louisville resident and long time follower of your channel.
Peter, outstanding breakdown of the events, a couple things I would add is that Louisville Police Officer "Dobie" Gillis was part of the accident squad/detachment and was not a part of the squad (lucky few) chosen to escort and handle PGA Championships Officials and Participants throughout Tournament Week. That there were 2 different assignments handling 2 different duties had to lead to some type of miscommunications. Scottie was bailed out by one of Tournament Host Club Valhalla's Owner...and ironically Louisville Police Escorted Scottie Scheffler back to the Tournament (which had to suspend the whole PGA Championship Field for 90 minutes on Friday morning resulting in costly TV adjustments $$$ etc.). I talked with a close friend who runs Golf Tournaments and other Major Sporting Events, and he didn't think that Valhalla and Louisville would be seeing at least the Golf World clambering for a return to Louisville with a loss of opportunities in the $10s of millions. Love your channel, just found it and subscribed. Great work and thank you. Cheers, Jake.
OMG how have the charges not been dropped already? They're gonna draw even more attention to this the longer this gets delayed.
Scottie was victimized by an aggressive police officer who is willing to exaggerate, overstate, and outright lie in a police report, resulting in Sheffler’s arrest. Scottie can praise the police and write it off as a “misunderstanding” - he got out of jail in record time, made it to the first tee, and made a tidy $520,000, then flew home on a private jet. Most people (and every black person) understands this cop’s flexible relationship with the truth would have, at best, earned them a beating and a prison sentence, and at worst, gotten them shot and killed. If Scottie brushes this off rather than stands up and speaks out, this cop and other police officers will be free to continue to police aggressively, sloppily, and dishonestly, and innocent lives will continue to be ruined and ended. Scottie, stand up, bro. You are privileged, but you don’t have to be silently complicit. Speak up! Tell your story! Help make changes to a system, even if it works for you. There are too many people who aren’t as fortunate.
He has 99 percent white support. If he aligns with black people that support would drop to 10 percent. He was probably cursing on the jet all the way home. But in public he is going to kiss the flag, support the blue, praise our military heroes. It's good business for the rich to be just like everybody else. You too can be a billionaire , no need to pick up the pitch fork. Pick up a golf club instead
@@AboveAvgMan so sad, but so true
I think he will speak up at the appropriate time. Right now he must listen to his attorney as he is facing jail time.
Thank you for covering this story. Praying for Scottie and his family
Thanks for the update
Everyone knows Scottie wouldn’t assault anyone, let alone a police officer. This case should be dismissed with an apology from law enforcement
Do u know him? Everyone doesn't know him. Wth are u going on about?
@@lizdahl847 Where you at lizdahl? Anything else you would like to say? No? That’s what I thought. All charges were dismissed.
@@jaydee5447 Got it. Doesn't mean he is innocent of the charges. White rich man. No surprises here..
Thanks Peter. Please keep us posted
Peter, this is par for the course for LMPD. They have a history of overreacting, and over-charging. No one who lives here is surprised. They've paid out millions for this kind of thing in recent years, even this year.
ruclips.net/video/l1LHX4EDBfc/видео.htmlsi=oNVRKHdJzEaJmetH
Yes, they will be dropped imo. This os an example of abuse of power by police.This cop needs to be investigated.
This is an example of an entitled jerk thinking he's above the law.
@@SandyKnauerMorgan the cop.
@@SandyKnauerMorganyup. Couldn’t have said it better myself about the cop.
Sounds like plenty of witnesses v the officer.. Look forward to your comments through this process.
There's a boatload of interest in this because Scottie is the average man, a decent guy. If this could happen to him, it could happen to any of us, at any time. It seems (at this point) like the cop is the one that should face any charges.
Regular decent guys don’t do what he did. I can’t even phantom what was going through his mind to do something so dumb. Can’t relate at all in any way whatsoever, to be fair.
@@aland2465 - Sheff was following directions from one of the other cops. The maniacal cop that grabbed his car needs to be investigated. Sheff ain't "dumb", that's for damn sure.
When a person is found not guilty of a crime, the arrest report and any evidence should be destroyed, not "expunged" or "sealed".
Companies and government agencies that reject candidates who were arrested and found not guilty should be fully liable.
Generally, I would agree. However, situations like this i.e. an obviously guilty party being found as not guilty due to current celebrity status and financial value to an industry, shows some wisdom in not completely burying the charges.
@aland2465 If a person is found to be not guilty, then he is obviously not guilty.
@@michaelragusa5138 That's a pretty ridiculous statement, a high % of guilty people are found not guilty by the legal system for a variety of reasons. The Western legal system is built with protections and designed such that no innocent person is found guilty (although it can fail there at times) but certainly not that no guilty person is ever found to be not guilty.
Charges being dropped doesn't help the effect it had on Scottie's golf
yeah he might have won the tournament otherwise.
Do you think the cop bets?
@@AlexKnightmanlol.
That's what I was telling my husband. As soon as the adrenaline rush was gone and he actually talked with his lawyer, his next round was a disaster. Well, it couldn't been worse, but for him and the way he plays, it was a disaster. He ended up 8th and could've won.
I knew he would play well that particular day but when he thought about it overnight it would mess him up. He also didn't have his caddy on Saturday. If he shoots his normal score on the other 3 days, he's in a dead heat at the end
That's BS!!!! I was a disabled (COPD) 62 yr old, just buried my father the day before, pulled up to find 2 strange men outside my property, I stopped to see what they wanted. One came over, I saw the other was my nosey neighbor. One said he was sheriff's deputy and he was there over "trash in my yard". To make a long story short we concluded our conversation, I drove to my gate, next thing I know my dad's car is being hit from behind, cop is jumping out of his car screaming he wants to see my license. He comes thru my gate with his hand on his gun!
As I'm reaching for my license, he yanks me out my car, throws me into the gate face first, starts beating on me, throws me on the ground and throws all his considerable weight on my back. Oh yeah i forgot to say, before he did this he conveniently took his bodycam off and threw it in the dirt. However, he didn't turn it off so it recorded it ALL!
I was charged with NINE charges, TWO FELONIES! I had a COPD attack, thought my wrist and arm were broken, had a stroke and now have damage to my neck and lower back.
Why? Because cop was doing my neighbor a "favor", his good buddy. See I had a nonprofit for vets on my property. Little cabins homeless vets could live in, the one neighbor & wife didn't like it. She'd walk up in front of my property screaming and cursing at my vets.
I've had to fight all this on my own. Almost bankrupted me. Had to close down my home for veterans. Lost MY home. All charges were dismissed. I've filed charges against the cop and department in 5th District but everything takes time. Because they drug it out so long, I had to file pro se but I'm looking for an attorney to take over. I DID email Pete but he, obviously, didn't answer.
Wow, that was cathartic!
As a veteran, thank you for your service to us. Your neighbors who didn’t like you assisting veterans, probably posts ‘Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for your Service’ on their social media. It is sick that this happened to you. I’m so so so so so sorry.
Peter can’t get back to everyone with legal issues such as yours. Maybe he’s not barred in your state. It’s not his fault. We all know he would help if he could.
@@Enoughalready20237 I started it to honor my Dad, WWII veteran, incredibly this happened the day AFTER I buried him.
Peter had said on one of his videos even if he wasn't barred in my state he'd probably know a lawyer, that's why I attempted numerous times to contact him. But no harm, no foul. I'll find someone eventually to take the case so I don't have to continue to do it pro se.
The cop misunderstood the purpose of a bodycam 😂
They need to fire that cop, especially if he lied
The question you need to ask yourself is "How likely is it that Scottie would voluntarily run someone over? vs. How likely is it that a cop would be overzealous in a traffic directing situation?"

There was a brief hearing today on a defense motion to continue the arraignment until June 3, and remarkably (idiotically?) the prosecutor objected. The judge explained that she customarily accommodates defense lawyer's calendars. This is Commonwealth embarrassment of a prosecutor maintained his objection. He's bulldogging this case even when common sense would dictate that it's going to be dismissed one way or the other. What a stupid solicitor's office. So, let the County wear egg all over it's face. What an amateurishly "enthusiastic" police department and solicitor's office. Such an embarrassment to Lexington. My condolences to Kentucky.
I sure hope the lesson learned in this case is that LEOs directing traffic should always be certain the instructions they give are consistent with other officers involved and that such instructions are clearly understood by drivers
I think the real lesson is people should listen to the instructions of officers and not wilfully disobey because they believe ther are above the law. Call me old fashioned.
@@aland2465 nope, just wrong
@@aland2465 Oh were you there?You’re a witness to the events?Because so far all the other witness details seem to line up more so with Scheffler’s account.
In the new way of thinking, we hear the evidence 😏
Exactly. And if not, no excuse for an officer who has a radio in hand. Hey, I'm sending a guy through...
@@Etc36284 The only know credible witness thus far (ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington) recounting of the events exactly matches with the police report (sans the costs of the officer's pants). As far as "witnesses" paid for by his lawyer, I would take them for what they are worth. I busted a gut when approx. 2 hours after the incident occurred, Scotty's new lawyer on retainer went on camera stating they have found "several witnesses" that all corroborate his story. As a lawyer, I can tell you such a claim, that in 2 hours he managed to retain a lawyer and said lawyer interviewed his client, found several witnesses, vetted them, and interviewed them is patently absurd. I can buy that he made a call to one of his junior lawyers and had them go to the scene to offer random strangers money if they will corroborate their client's TBD story.
And what exactly is this account of the events you speak of? All he hand his lawyer have said is there was a BIG misunderstanding, he followed all police orders, and this should all be dealt with shortly (while holding back laughter). The former is an amusingly vague claim utilized by pretty much every criminal throughout history and the latter is objectively patently false by even the most sympathetic accounts.
Body cam not activated. How convenient is that.
Kentucky is looking like a real life 2024 Deliverance movie. PGA should just pull out.
For the sake of the dumbest DA in America, these charges need to be dropped immediately.
An Overzealous off duty detective working a cushy overtime gig at the golf tournament and he gets his ego bruised while in a yellow Security vest, Not a Law Enforcement identification vest, goes on to arrest the number one golfer in the world. Instead of just letting him loose after a pow wow in the police car, he goes on to the whole perp walk. What an embarrassment to his police force. He, I am told, is the running joke of the department now. No more E-Z overtime hours for him. Wrong temperament. It was dark and rainy and players always get through security lines. Demote this clown who can’t control his ego.
Why didn't the police interview all witnesses? Why didn't the officer have his body cam on?
Because cops don't have their body cams running 24/7. We don't have a reliable way to store that much data to record things non-stop. Cops turn their body cams on when they "initiate" a call or confrontation with someone. Directing traffic isn't something a cop necessarily needs to record. So unless the cop was starting a typical traffic stop then he wouldn't have been thinking about turning it on at that moment.
@@aSinisterKiidcops lie about the body cam
Just imagine how often stuff like this happens, but the rest of us aren't millionaire celebs that get the luxury of immense public pressure to drop the charges. We'd be anxious about spending time in prison and then likely accept a plea deal that we shouldn't ever have to accept.
The irony is that the exact type of people who normally say "Just listen to the police!" regardless of context are the same people who are upset their favorite golfer was (most likely) wrongfully arrested. Will this situation finally make them open their eyes and realize the police aren't always the infallible source of truth?
No one thinks the police are infallible, and most of the time "Listen to the police" is great advice! 😊
The charges won't be dropped because of his celebrity and immense public pressure, they will be dropped because they aren't winnable, and the eye witnesses directly contradict the police report. And the fact that the Louisville PD doesn't need more bad press.
@@DoreenMarr You conveniently skipped over the part where I said "regardless of context". If the police have violated somebody's rights, saying "listen to the police" in response to that person being wrongfully arrested, or worse, is extremely callous.
Former DA here. Plenty of defendants get ROR for this sort of offense. Especially someone with no priors and who is as well known as Sheffler. He’s not a flight risk or a danger to the community.
in Louisville? after allegedly assaulting a cop?
@@BondJames-vz5wk Anywhere in this country. Bail is about two things only: flight risk and public safety. Sheffler has zero flight risk and represents no danger to public safety. Bail has no punishment component.
Any time the cops camera is turned off, they should not be allowed to make an arrest.
He turned it off for a reason
Peter my questions surround the " high profile " vs. the common person. I always wonder if I was volunteering at the course, would I have been able to so quickly call a lawyer, would I have been let out? This incident just underscores when police are involved they are always " right".... The officer on video just kept saying " he's going to jail"..... worst nightmare, pls follow this to conclusion. Thanks for covering.
agree 100%!
I once experienced a similar scene at night in the rain, it can be confusing with all the lights,which I was. The cop was pissed I know, thank God he was reasonable and understood the situation. I am far from being entitled.
I hope somebody does a deep dive into this cops background. How many times does he turn his body cam off and make arrests? Is it possible cop knew it was a player and was setting himself up for a possible payday through injury? I hope somebody takes the time to look at all of this guy's arrests and his background.
Since all players were in marked courtesy cars, there would be no doubt in anyones mind, that it was a player in the car. He knew, you bet he knew.
It was funny the officer tried to claim his uniform was damaged, as if it mattered 😂 dude you jumped on. Dude wasn't fleeing INTO a golf course 😮
It just shows how much LE will try to overcharge someone.
When cops fuk up the protocol is to charge with everything and anything
If he was charged,it stays on his record as a felony arrest. I have always found this unfair in general. Why can't it just be removed once people are found not guilty or charges dismissed?
He hasn't been charged though. Being arrested and charged are two different things. If the DA charges him, I'll be shocked.
@@calliew311 then hopefully we will see his lawyer, probably needing a few mil himself, will sue.
Sounds like a shake-down to me. Maybe the cop planned a ''slip and fall''.
And maybe the cop knew exactly who was driving the well-marked SUV.
A multi-millionaire touring pro who will have a hard time getting to multiple hearings... and would settle for 6 or 7 figures.
I’ve been waiting for this! ⛳️
This incident highlights the common problem when there is misconduct by a police officer - they can never just admit that they made a mistake, the LEO and the municipality they are employed by - they always have to double down and charge some innocent citizen to justify their mistake.
the entire city averages like a 32 on state testing, so most of them literally cannot write their names at age 16
sounds like a great place for a golf major huh
The cop's pride was hurt cuz he tripped and fell so he took it out on Scottie
Pretty much identical circumstances to the woman that got stopped while going the "wrong way" while dropping her kid off at school. Except since she wasn't celebrity royalty she was treated to the cops ramming her vehicle to stop it with her 9yr old son inside, being violently ripped out of the car, thrown on the ground and handcuffed, and then intentionally held in a pain hold contorting her body so her face was directly in a fire ant colony for roughly ten minutes while a half dozen other cops stood around and laughed.
Perfect demonstration of the stark difference in how regular people are treated in comparison to the elite class.
Yes, please follow up, on this incident. Love watching you and
hearing your take, on things!
Thanks for this Peter. Love Scottie Scheffler.
i have been in that situation, ..confusion, flashing lights, yelling, screaming,
PGA should never return to Louisville again for any tournaments in the future!
This is such a rad concept for a channel, it’s nice to have a lawyer willing to educate people on their rights
Arraignment was extended until the June 3rd by Schefflers attorney, the DA is continuing to press charges and on June 3rd Scottie’s attendance is mandatory per the judges ruling on the 21st.
If the officer intentionally “attached” himself to the car, these charges will have to be dropped. No officer is ever trained to stop a car for disobeying an officer’s order by “ attaching” himself to a car. Sounds like the process in the background right now is figuring out how to make this go away. Believe me, the police department wishes the officer never made this arrest. When he was released to appear on a felony charge, it tells you it was probably never the right charge and a police supervisor probably had to make that call to not make him appear in front of a judge. Also, one of the most frustrating jobs an officer has do is direct traffic in the dark and rain with lots of other police lights in the area. People see the lights and not the officers, it’s just a frustrating situation.
This is exactly what I first thought. What cop is trained to jump on top of a car? Or even try to grab the door handle? No. You have your video on or dash cam, and you go look for the car wherever it was going. Get the license plate. This is insane!!
And if another officer directed him to go around, why didn't that guy radio ahead and let him know a player was directed that way and coming through...
I think it was definitely an overreaction.
If you mean what Scottie did, I totally agree.
If there was ever a story that showed how embarrassingly dramatic America has become - it's this. This angle of "being dragged along the ground" to the point his "clothing was damaged beyond repair" is one of the laughably BS things I've ever heard. Couple of questions - where exactly did this guy attach himself to the vehicle so that his entire lower body could be dragged along the ground and to the point it would damage his $80 pants beyond repair? A wheel well? a towbar? Hanging off a door handle? With respect to that - dragged to that point (beyond repair) absolutely implies a considerable distance of dragging and at a considerable speed - maybe unless he was wearing a pair of swim-shorts or stain pyjama pants. To believe this we need to believe he attached himself to a low part of the car as it drove off and that he held on for the remaining distance it travelled - he didn't think to let go? (under the assumption maybe he could be seriously injured or his life threatened?) and he didn't yell and scream blue murder as it was happening? (we know he didn't because it wasn't in the police report or part of any witness testimony). Let's cut the horseshit - it's 6am and rain and it's chaos there due to the unfortunate incident that happened. Scheffler gets told to do one thing by another officer prior to his encounter with Brain Gillis and Gillis's shouting and waving his flashlight routine without any actual direction is more befitting of an event security guy to the point Scheffler believes he's actually still doing what he's told. Scheffler drives on and this idiot runs after him because that's what you need to do in America - "ain't nobody disrespecting my authority" and he either trips over his own feet or a curb and scuffs his knees and hands up. He's now embarrassed and tired anyway because he's been awake since 3.30am and all rational and calm thought has ceased in his brain that he isn't wired for anyway. The rest is history. The fact he even bails Scheffler up against the car and cuffs him hands behind his back is the cherry on the sundae. Oh and guess what, no bodycam footage - how convenient. This is the stupidest most overblown and dramatic sports related story maybe of all time. Imagine if this actually went to trial and wasted taxpayer money - that would be the only thing more stars and stripes.
Some people react to celebrities by being star struck, some people react by being a holes.
Why am I not surprised? Another case of violating the ego of the almighty all powerful police detective. It very much looked like a confusing scene. Blue, red and yellow lights flashing everywhere, it was dark and raining. That’s enough to make it IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE and it would also be confusing. I know this is going to be a profound statement but MAYBE THE YOUNG MAN THOUGHT HE WAS DOING WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO!!!!!
Why is a number 1 golfer in the world driving himself to the tourney. I assumed PGA vehicles would transport the golfers!!
Imagine if it wasn't Scottie Scheffler - someone likely would have been railroaded by a embarrassed cop.
Happy for X
If Scotty never got arrested I believe he would have been right in it. It caught up to him Saturday. Congrats to Xander great golfer great guy!
Police overreaction is par for the course.
Good content. Can’t wait for the Reid trial cross on Mcaabe tomorrow, and your coverage of it.
that cross is going to be fireworks!
Kentucky is a horrible place. I will never step foot in that awful state again.
Once I heard you read 5:30 AM, I understood EVERYTHING.
Reminds me of the Gwyneth Paltrow trial. Someone sees a celebrity and wants their names to become connected, so they create a scenario.
The officer didn't know who he was when all this happened. My guess is, now, after all this publicity, that the officer DOESN'T want his name attached. Just guessing.
@@DoreenMarrya but he knew it was likely a PGA player, since he was in an official PGA labeled car.
I was involved in a deadly accident while driving a semi-truck that was governed to do only 69 mph top speed. I was in a 65 zone when the accident happened. On the police report, the responding officer said I was doing 80, a clear lie. Luckily, nothing became of the incident.
No charges were filed. But had I been forced to go to court, I would have had to prove to the court that I wasn't doing 80. Some police officers do lie, for whatever reason. The good side of this is that there were five police officers present.
All of them gave a report. On one of the reports, the officer said I was doing "69, not 80." Apparently he read the other officers false report and tried to correct it.
I think Bryan Gillis needs investigated.
He's a detective not at the accident site. But direction traffic. Past the 1st officer Scottie gave his id. Was directed to go around the traffic.
2. Bryan specialty is traffic accidents. Injury to cops too. He's testified many times as an expert witness for lawsuits.
3. He has a private company for the same.
4. 2nd round. If he had ill intent. Had the 1st round. To scope out when scottie goes to the coarse.
5. Millions are spent on betting. Vegas isn't above sabotage of any sport.
6. Louisville police department is notoriously corrupt. 7 fbi investigations.
Cops prosecuted for sextortion case. They hacked people computers. Got their browse history and extorted them.
7. Scottie lost a couple million on this. Maybe this week as well. The golf superbowl what they work all year for. Out the window. Can't get it back.
Alot of damage done.
Every person on this planet can agree. This doesn't happen at a pga championship.
The cops job is to get the 125 + golfer to the course. And keep the fans off them.
Not fabricate a felony.
Just watched the hearing on moving his arraignment hearing…they want to prosecute him…charges will not be dropped.
In my entire life I've had the police stop me probably 6-8 times for various traffic reasons and 100% of the time the cops are pretty much a-holes. During these stops, 3 times I was not given a ticket and the other 4-5 times I received your basic ticket. If I was a juror on such a case, I'd have a hard time believing the account of events as described by det Bryan Gillis.
Cop thought he was Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 12
It makes a lot more sense now the cop tripped & then trumped up the charges.
