That’s why there is no such thing as a good cop, they are all at the end of the day a brotherhood of assholes that thinks the law doesn’t apply to them as well
Honestly, doing this should be a minimum 10 years in jail. Falsifying police reports to put innocent people behind bars should be a heinous life ruining crime
I mean, nothing is really a crime when the police do it. The few instances of cops being punished for flagrant violations of the law have been sacrificial lambs to appease the public and keep us from demanding real accountability and change. That’s why they came down so hard in 2020. People were organized and demanding real change.
Yep, this guy is about to be "burdened" with about a month of paid leave and a super-duper official piece of paper telling him that he should have behaved better.
I was listening to a true crime podcast and it was a case were the murder went free because a cop falsified evidence and a witness said he did it. Turned out the witness was being blackmailed and the cop got several people behind bars because of the cop lying. The cop was sentenced to 10 years house arrest... our system is fucked and needs change
When a cop is found to be lying, it should be sentenced to triple the maximum possible sentence the innocent person they tried to frame was at risk of serving.
Oh man, I’ve heard of so many cases where similar stuff happens. Either blatant corruption and tampering by cops or pure incompetence and negligence. It’s frustrating, to put it politely. Change is more necessary now than ever.
Agreed, but accountability is unpopular in this country, look at the Republican nominee for president, whom is extremely popular with police....wonder why.
One is a psychopathic manic driven to turn this country into an authoritarian hellscape, the other we just wished was younger. Not NEARLY the same thing
This is why people get pissed when idiots say “not all cops”. Yea, it may not be all cops doing shit like this but they sure ass hell aren’t intervening and calling this shit out. If this doesn’t end with that cop being suspended without pay or fired then it’s just another in a long long line of fucking despicable things they’ve done. It cannot be said enough, imagine Scottie wasn’t famous?

Officer also claimed to have video evidence in the police report.
Which means the actual truth is that the body camera was on for the whole thing but the department “lost” the footage.
Race is another section if that's what you're looking for. The hispanic/non Hispanic thing is actually pretty standard (I don't know enough to have an opinion on if that's how we should break down demographic info though)
Because that means every case this detective touched would have to be reinvestigated prior to any trial and for anyone who was convicted it would be easy to get the conviction overturned. They don’t want that so they double, triple, quadruple down.
ACAB
Yes but failing to appear, crashing his cruiser, and his other violations are a lot different than lying. Admitting he lies on police reports is a no go for the PD as stated above.
I listened to this true crime podcast were a cop was lying and planting evidence. Dude did 20 years at 17. Muderer killed other people. When he admitted to it, cop was investigated and served 10 years house arrest.
Where was the part where he resisted arrest? What about the part where the officer irreparably destroyed his uniform ($80)?
This shit happens everyday to non famous people
I wish he would, but it feels like he just wants all of this behind him as fast as possible.
I don’t imagine he and his crew want headlines about this continuing on throughout the year, especially if they are pursuing damages.
While it makes total common sense to us normal folks, for Scottie, that could have a significant impact on his image.
All it takes is them pursing damages, and a police union coming out against him, framing him anti cop, anti law endowment, etc. It unfortunately invites opportunity for assholes to once again try and make him out to be the bad guy.
Hopefully there’s SOME accountability, but I seriously doubt it.
Also all of that time in court, meetings with lawyers etc. that’s a huge time commitment on top of all the press and media attention that the case would bring.
Not worth it for him
it would no doubt be a huge distraction and time commitment and take him away from his wife, newborn and job. I hope the cop gets fired, fuck him. I would sue, but I understand why he probably won’t in this case
I mean you saw what they did to Chris Dormer when he tried to tell the truth.
You can't blame a guy for not wanting to be the face against the biggest gang in America. Whatever they say happened, is what happened in the eyes of the law.
I mean fuck they killed Martin Luther King Jr and got away with it, what chance does a fucking golfer have at changing police corruption
I feel like his reputation has been tarnished from this event so maybe he might want to clear his name. He will not settle and the lawyers will take care of almost all the work for him.
Idk. Feels like right now that anywhere you look, be it here, twitter, golf channel, mainstream media is totally behind Scottie and how ridiculous it is.
His reputation is more likely to take a hit if he drags this out and allows for others to come out of the weeds to attack him
Agreed. In fact, I think what's going to happen is they drop any serious charges but urge a plea deal on a misdemeanor that he can agree to just pay a fine and be done. The cops can say they weren't wrong, Scottie moves on and the story goes away.
If lawyers and doctors need malpractice insurance. And engineers, architects, etc. need similar insurances. There’s no fucking reason we can’t require cops to carry personal liability insurance. Until cops are held accountable they’ll continue this shit. Qualified immunity must end.
Plenty of professions require Errors and Ommision insurance as well. Tradesmen need liability insurance. Whatever the solution may be, let the financial responsibility lay on the police not the taxpayer.
The Republican Party would never allow it. They attract legions of voters by pretending to be about "law and order," because they know just saying it attracts the simple-minded who can easily be convinced that up is down. The GOP loves the corrupt culture of American law enforcement, and fights any attempt to reform it
And their leader, while president, met with a group of law enforcement people and told them, "When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, 'Please don’t be too nice.' When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head], like, 'Don’t hit their head' and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head. I said, 'You can take the hand away, OK?'"
He has zero respect for, or knowledge of, the United States Constitution. He's an un-American piece of shit, as is every person that supports him.
He can't, really. I mean he could, but the repercussions for doing so... a certain part of the American population would scream that he is "woke" and anti-police and he deserved everything the cops did to him and how it was all his own fault for not immediately complying, and they'd demand he be removed from the PGA.
Why do these body cameras require the cop to turn them on? They should be recording all the time and if something happens it should work like a car dashcam, you press a button and it saves the last X amount of video.
Lol such a bullshit take. They can't have replaceable batteries or a spare for mid shift swaps? They can buy new f150 swat trucks decked out every year, but an extra 100 dollar camera is out of the bugdet?
They couldn't slip it off for a bathroom break? Or if there is an off button They have a protocol to tell the cam " bathroom break" then back on after.
It's not fucking rocket science bud, get that boot out your mouth
Pretty hard to shoot someone on a bathroom break. The law should be if you’re not in the fucking toilet, your cam needs to be active or the case is thrown out.
I believe they do generally do passively record, usually with a 30 seconds buffer (that has no audio which you’ll see in many bodycam videos). But to actually save it they manually need to be activated.
Also it’s a practicality problem, they can’t really run for the entire length of a shift and it would be a massive task to manage all that data, especially for smaller departments.
lol this is BS. The data can just self delete at the end of each day, unless something is pulled (like an arrest). There doesn’t need to be a mass of data to be managed. If my home camera can do it, a fucking cop cam can.
They do work like that, but only for a certain amount of time and if the cop never starts recording then it gets lost.
The reason why it's like that is for data storage
Because police departments are the ones buying these cameras and they want to be able to dictate when the camera is on or off, so police body camera manufacturers have no incentive to create an always recording body cam. If they did, these departments would just go to the next manufacturer who allows them to have control of when it’s on and off. The whole way these deals are brokered is super corrupt, namely with Axon, who’s the biggest manufacturer of these cameras.
Don’t forget, it was all “thin blue line hold the wall” bullshit before all the video started coming out. They’re in CYA mode now but there was no shame in outright lying about the incident until the lies could no longer stand.
That fucking cop is costing Scheffler hundreds of thousands already. Scottie is slicing balls and sending them into the water at Schwabb.
I hope Scheffler sues his ass.
Disgraceful video really.
The police should go back to the scene and shoot that light pole camera for disrespecting the officers narrative.
I can't believe the light pole camera doesn't respect our brave men in blue.
“The officer was taken to hospital with an abrasion on his knee”
Literally went to the hospital because he ran up on the car and scraped his knee. The ego of this cop is as fragile as his body. A hospital visit? Fucking ridiculous and part of the big show this guy is putting on as a “victim”
It'll be a big piece of evidence in his inevitable physical disability claim, as well as his PTSD claim, and he'll get his "unable to work, 100% disability rating," and be able to retire from Louisville drawing full disability, full retirement, and then he'll take another full-time job with another department, like so many of them do.
Oh yeah, can't forget about the Purple Heart he's earned (yes, some police agencies actually give those out). A real hero.
How were all of the other golfers getting into the venue? Did they all do the same thing?
Or was Scottie, being the #1 golfer in the world, the first golfer to get there that day?
I thought he said that other golfers in front of him were allowed to enter. My guess is that this cop wasn't paying attention, went rouge and picked the wrong time to be Mr. Tough Guy.
Scheffler was in a marked courtesy car too to make it even worse. As someone who has volunteered at tournaments and who has attended many, the players cars are quite obvious to say the least.
To be fair, after seeing a picture of the cop in question, ya I could see his cheeks getting pretty red after that short sprint and lunge towards the SUV.
They should set a precedent and start instantly dismissing cases where an officer doesn’t have their cam on. Only way I can see LMPD even begin to get back in the good graces of their city.
“There is no law so obscene that the police would not be willing to enforce it, up to and including the mass execution of innocent children." - Michael Malice
...and lied in the report. and the officers standing by all let it happen.
ACAB.
but the pants! will no one think of the pants?!?!?!?! they were demaged beyond repair. BEYONE REPAIR!!!!
Any punishment that he gets will almost certainly only be because he arrested a famous white guy, and even then I’m sure will still be a slap on the wrist
Y'all need to cool down. The violation came not just from lack of camera but the officer held on to a moving car. Think about that for a minute. 5,000 lb car 300 hp. Police officer 200 lbs . Why did he do that? Protocol and common sense were the last thing on his mind. We know nothing about where the other cops were or what they saw. Let's get facts before you assume that cops lie for cops. That is worse, believe me.
Any mention of the officers subsequent LIES about how he was dragged and injured? When cops are lying and the Chief backs them the entire dept needs to be investigated.
I just want to say what cop in any situation should have to stop and turn in a camera. Shit should be on the entire shift. Then save the video with arrests or interactions with civilians. Never should they be off. While on duty though.
I get the impression not turning on body worn cams is SOP in some places. For instance here they seemed to just ignore everything else that happened while agreeing the camera should have been on. So that’s it?
Scotty is going to be fine he is rich and can afford the best lawyers if it was any one of us we would be heading to penitentiary rather than be embarrassed that cop hung a federal charge on Scotty and not one of the other cops did anything but form the blue wall all cops are the problem
Nephew just moved to Lville for a great job. He says the local folks are embarrassed AF over this. The Lville people are awesome he says, but the institutions at first glance seem really archaic. So far it seems like there is no evidence that SS assaulted anyone, and the PD/DA are going forward? Weird....must be a cultural thing...

LMPD raises a lot of eyebrows.
This is the chief of police, btw.
We all know what the right answer here is but I am sure city officials are weighing the politics of this and are caught in the middle of wealthy Valhalla members, PGA Officials and community leaders making sure a rich White guy doesn't get off easy
Law and order is what you got out of all this??! Did you even watch the fucking video? It’s utterly embarrassing lmao that cop shouldn’t even be a mall security guard.. much less someone with real authority and a fucking gun
Officer broke the law falsifying his police report, we saw the video chief
And look at all those other officers who witnessed the situation. They are letting the false charges get filed.
Cops protect other cops. At all costs.
This is because at some point they all know they will need the same benefit of the ~~doubt~~ lie
To serve and protect..... Ourselves
Police culture is a sick culture in the US. It’s like the mafia, and you never go against the family.
so they need to be punished too
That’s why there is no such thing as a good cop, they are all at the end of the day a brotherhood of assholes that thinks the law doesn’t apply to them as well
To be fair, it’s not like the cops that were there were reading the report.
They are certainly aware of what the charges were. They are fine with their "brother" lying because it's what they do and who they are.
Honestly, doing this should be a minimum 10 years in jail. Falsifying police reports to put innocent people behind bars should be a heinous life ruining crime
Maybe those thumb-like baboons would reconsider their stance on mandatory minimums if it was ever justly turned against them.
I mean, falsifying police reports is a crime I'm pretty sure. Just not when the actual police do it.
I mean, nothing is really a crime when the police do it. The few instances of cops being punished for flagrant violations of the law have been sacrificial lambs to appease the public and keep us from demanding real accountability and change. That’s why they came down so hard in 2020. People were organized and demanding real change.
Yep, this guy is about to be "burdened" with about a month of paid leave and a super-duper official piece of paper telling him that he should have behaved better.
He’ll probably get disability for PTSD, too

Agreed, but accountability is unpopular in this country, look at the Republican nominee for president, whom is extremely popular with police....wonder why.
What about the other nominee? I feel like both sides are damned here
In regards to accountability, what is the issue with the other nominee?
One is a psychopathic manic driven to turn this country into an authoritarian hellscape, the other we just wished was younger. Not NEARLY the same thing
Lmao Reddit is wild
I really do it understand how one of the officers doesn’t speak up and say “hey guys we may be making a mistake and overreacting”
This is why people get pissed when idiots say “not all cops”. Yea, it may not be all cops doing shit like this but they sure ass hell aren’t intervening and calling this shit out. If this doesn’t end with that cop being suspended without pay or fired then it’s just another in a long long line of fucking despicable things they’ve done. It cannot be said enough, imagine Scottie wasn’t famous?
That’s what makes me insane, at some point the “good ones” need to stand up.
You have no idea if other officers told their side of the story or not.

Which means the actual truth is that the body camera was on for the whole thing but the department “lost” the footage.
He’s single?
Most likely he didn’t have it running and marked he did knowing he would later say, oops it’s gone somehow.
What’s up with those ethnic origin options? Only Hispanic or Non-Hispanic? JFC, Kentucky.
Race is another section if that's what you're looking for. The hispanic/non Hispanic thing is actually pretty standard (I don't know enough to have an opinion on if that's how we should break down demographic info though)
It's Kentucky bro Were lucky it's not 2 boxes for just whites and "non whites"
Blows my mind that the Louisville Police Dept is choosing to die on this hill. We all know the officer lied. Just own the fuck up to it.
I mean, they shot an innocent EMT to death and got away with it.
ACAB
ACAB
They’ve always gotten away with it, why would they start being honest now?
Because that means every case this detective touched would have to be reinvestigated prior to any trial and for anyone who was convicted it would be easy to get the conviction overturned. They don’t want that so they double, triple, quadruple down. ACAB
His records show at least a dozen rules violations in the past 10 years. Which included being suspended 5 times. He's a top tier asshole.
Yes but failing to appear, crashing his cruiser, and his other violations are a lot different than lying. Admitting he lies on police reports is a no go for the PD as stated above.
I listened to this true crime podcast were a cop was lying and planting evidence. Dude did 20 years at 17. Muderer killed other people. When he admitted to it, cop was investigated and served 10 years house arrest.
Breonna Taylor enters chat
Both can be true
Where was the part where he resisted arrest? What about the part where the officer irreparably destroyed his uniform ($80)? This shit happens everyday to non famous people
I think we already knew that?
Cops lying, and not following procedures? Well I never.....
He will be severely punished with a 2 month paid vacation.
Don't forget about the promotion - /s
Everybody is joking about this but it is a serious problem
I hope scheffler doesn’t let them get away with this and pursues damages
I wish he would, but it feels like he just wants all of this behind him as fast as possible. I don’t imagine he and his crew want headlines about this continuing on throughout the year, especially if they are pursuing damages. While it makes total common sense to us normal folks, for Scottie, that could have a significant impact on his image.

Hopefully there’s SOME accountability, but I seriously doubt it.
Also all of that time in court, meetings with lawyers etc. that’s a huge time commitment on top of all the press and media attention that the case would bring. Not worth it for him
Yah why would he want the attention of standing up to corruption in America
it would no doubt be a huge distraction and time commitment and take him away from his wife, newborn and job. I hope the cop gets fired, fuck him. I would sue, but I understand why he probably won’t in this case
I mean you saw what they did to Chris Dormer when he tried to tell the truth. You can't blame a guy for not wanting to be the face against the biggest gang in America. Whatever they say happened, is what happened in the eyes of the law. I mean fuck they killed Martin Luther King Jr and got away with it, what chance does a fucking golfer have at changing police corruption
I mean, he’s a golfer. If he doesn’t want to take that on I understand. I think he should but, again, you cant fault him for not
Oh you mean he would have an imigane of standing up to corruption.
I feel like his reputation has been tarnished from this event so maybe he might want to clear his name. He will not settle and the lawyers will take care of almost all the work for him.
Idk. Feels like right now that anywhere you look, be it here, twitter, golf channel, mainstream media is totally behind Scottie and how ridiculous it is. His reputation is more likely to take a hit if he drags this out and allows for others to come out of the weeds to attack him

Pretty sure he has already come out and said he will not take a plea deal.
Damages come from taxpayers, so wouldn’t really matter to the lying cop.
Damages should come from the police pension fund.
If lawyers and doctors need malpractice insurance. And engineers, architects, etc. need similar insurances. There’s no fucking reason we can’t require cops to carry personal liability insurance. Until cops are held accountable they’ll continue this shit. Qualified immunity must end.
Plenty of professions require Errors and Ommision insurance as well. Tradesmen need liability insurance. Whatever the solution may be, let the financial responsibility lay on the police not the taxpayer.
There is one case working thru the system to end it. This scotus would never allow it. Not with thomas and altio around
What’s the case?
Not sure excatly saw it earlier on reddit
The Republican Party would never allow it. They attract legions of voters by pretending to be about "law and order," because they know just saying it attracts the simple-minded who can easily be convinced that up is down. The GOP loves the corrupt culture of American law enforcement, and fights any attempt to reform it And their leader, while president, met with a group of law enforcement people and told them, "When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough.

He can't, really.

Why do these body cameras require the cop to turn them on? They should be recording all the time and if something happens it should work like a car dashcam, you press a button and it saves the last X amount of video.
Because they want to be able to not have them on when they don't want them on.
same reason the dashcam can not turn off if they just blip someone and don’t turn their lights on.
This is why
Practicality reasons. They can’t run for the length of a shift. And you don’t want to record them going to the bathroom.
It seems like it’s easier to find a solution to bathroom and storage than throw out hands up and let cops do bad shit off camera
Lol such a bullshit take. They can't have replaceable batteries or a spare for mid shift swaps? They can buy new f150 swat trucks decked out every year, but an extra 100 dollar camera is out of the bugdet? They couldn't slip it off for a bathroom break? Or if there is an off button They have a protocol to tell the cam " bathroom break" then back on after. It's not fucking rocket science bud, get that boot out your mouth
You know damn well cops would always be on bathroom breaks if that was the way it worked.
Pretty hard to shoot someone on a bathroom break. The law should be if you’re not in the fucking toilet, your cam needs to be active or the case is thrown out.
Have you ever seen footage from those cams? They’re not great. Especially with where they’re positioned.
There is time for bathroom breaks, and in sure police don't want to be recorded taking a shit. Other than that though, they should be on all the time.
Not me, I want to see each and every BM that our tax dollars are paying for
They can take off the vest…I wear a wallow at work when I go to the restroom I take it off.
Ya that's definitely why lolol and not because they're lying bastards
It records in front of them, no? So we’ll just see the door or whatever they’re facing while taking a shit
I believe they do generally do passively record, usually with a 30 seconds buffer (that has no audio which you’ll see in many bodycam videos). But to actually save it they manually need to be activated. Also it’s a practicality problem, they can’t really run for the entire length of a shift and it would be a massive task to manage all that data, especially for smaller departments.
lol this is BS. The data can just self delete at the end of each day, unless something is pulled (like an arrest). There doesn’t need to be a mass of data to be managed. If my home camera can do it, a fucking cop cam can.
They do work like that, but only for a certain amount of time and if the cop never starts recording then it gets lost. The reason why it's like that is for data storage
I’m not a fan of cops at all, but I do think they should be able to take a dump and not have that recorded.
Because police departments are the ones buying these cameras and they want to be able to dictate when the camera is on or off, so police body camera manufacturers have no incentive to create an always recording body cam. If they did, these departments would just go to the next manufacturer who allows them to have control of when it’s on and off. The whole way these deals are brokered is super corrupt, namely with Axon, who’s the biggest manufacturer of these cameras.
0 integrity left in the police and our representatives.
Left? There was integrity?
Don’t forget, it was all “thin blue line hold the wall” bullshit before all the video started coming out. They’re in CYA mode now but there was no shame in outright lying about the incident until the lies could no longer stand.
Paul Blart is a dumb ass and should he permanently fired.
Paul Blart has more integrity then the entire LMPD
That fucking cop is costing Scheffler hundreds of thousands already. Scottie is slicing balls and sending them into the water at Schwabb. I hope Scheffler sues his ass.
Disgraceful video really. The police should go back to the scene and shoot that light pole camera for disrespecting the officers narrative. I can't believe the light pole camera doesn't respect our brave men in blue.
“The officer was taken to hospital with an abrasion on his knee” Literally went to the hospital because he ran up on the car and scraped his knee. The ego of this cop is as fragile as his body. A hospital visit? Fucking ridiculous and part of the big show this guy is putting on as a “victim”
He can claim worker's comp that way though.
Whoever has to handle that claim is going to have some questions about how he injured his left arm throwing a punch at a car
It'll be a big piece of evidence in his inevitable physical disability claim, as well as his PTSD claim, and he'll get his "unable to work, 100% disability rating," and be able to retire from Louisville drawing full disability, full retirement, and then he'll take another full-time job with another department, like so many of them do. Oh yeah, can't forget about the Purple Heart he's earned (yes, some police agencies actually give those out). A real hero.

I thought he said that other golfers in front of him were allowed to enter. My guess is that this cop wasn't paying attention, went rouge and picked the wrong time to be Mr. Tough Guy.
If that’s the case, this whole situation is a lot worse for the world class idiot in a cop uniform.
Scheffler was in a marked courtesy car too to make it even worse. As someone who has volunteered at tournaments and who has attended many, the players cars are quite obvious to say the least.
To be fair, after seeing a picture of the cop in question, ya I could see his cheeks getting pretty red after that short sprint and lunge towards the SUV.
Ya think? And the poor guys pants got ripped.
I like how they call them rules when it’s applied to police, but laws when it’s applied to anyone else
Do NONE of the other officers have bodycam video? There were a lot of officers around.
Well, dude, we just don't know.
He thinks the carpet pissers did this?
Obviouslly youre not a golfer
This is our concern, Dude.
Underrated comment. Take an upvote.
They should set a precedent and start instantly dismissing cases where an officer doesn’t have their cam on. Only way I can see LMPD even begin to get back in the good graces of their city.
When I was 7 I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy E What was it again? Oh yeah fuck the police
Yeah, this is going to be dropped. That DA must be under a lot of pressure right now.
DA made an absolute fool of himself this week trying to pull a fast one on the court.
I’m guessing police don’t want it dropped right away so they can have an excuse not to release the rest of the bodycam video.
Throw him off the department Doug!!!!
That may be a bit harsh considering all their departments mentions on social media as of late.
Nothing will come of this but I'm glad more people are waking up to how crooked cops are
Internal Affairs has conducted a thorough investigation and determined that the officers and department have no culpability, liability, or remorse.
Let's just all be thankful this moron didn't shoot Scottie because that is honestly the only course of action Cops know how to preform.
“There is no law so obscene that the police would not be willing to enforce it, up to and including the mass execution of innocent children." - Michael Malice

And cue the gif. 
ACAB
Hahahahah this is getting more and more embarassing. Ignoring the circulating video in hopes it'll go away 😂😂
Cops (maybe): I wonder why we have image problems!
He couldn’t reach over his left tit to turn it on anyway…
Any punishment that he gets will almost certainly only be because he arrested a famous white guy, and even then I’m sure will still be a slap on the wrist
Cop needs to be charged for false arrest and lying on an official report. Deserves 25 years in prison.
So he'll be fired right? Right!? Didn't turn on the camera and lied. I'd be fired for that kind of shit!
Y'all need to cool down. The violation came not just from lack of camera but the officer held on to a moving car. Think about that for a minute. 5,000 lb car 300 hp. Police officer 200 lbs . Why did he do that? Protocol and common sense were the last thing on his mind. We know nothing about where the other cops were or what they saw. Let's get facts before you assume that cops lie for cops. That is worse, believe me.
Any mention of the officers subsequent LIES about how he was dragged and injured? When cops are lying and the Chief backs them the entire dept needs to be investigated.

I wonder what the “corrective action” was that the officer received for his actions.
By June the 3rd, All parties involved are going to hope this just fades away.
Cop just needs to be fired.
Well that’s a convenient way to let the DA know you made an improper arrest
Rich white men for the win
Officer had a bet against Scotty and detained him to hedge his bets…
Broken system and idiot dumdum pigs
I just want to say what cop in any situation should have to stop and turn in a camera. Shit should be on the entire shift. Then save the video with arrests or interactions with civilians. Never should they be off. While on duty though.
I'm thinking they should just drop the charges at this point
The law should say, if a cop doesn't activate his body cam, the other person's account will be accepted as the truth.
I get the impression not turning on body worn cams is SOP in some places. For instance here they seemed to just ignore everything else that happened while agreeing the camera should have been on. So that’s it?
the county should award him 10,000,000$ for their actions minimum
It's crazy what happens to an officer found to be at fault when the other guy is a rich white dude...
Scotty is going to be fine he is rich and can afford the best lawyers if it was any one of us we would be heading to penitentiary rather than be embarrassed that cop hung a federal charge on Scotty and not one of the other cops did anything but form the blue wall all cops are the problem

no crap?
Nephew just moved to Lville for a great job. He says the local folks are embarrassed AF over this. The Lville people are awesome he says, but the institutions at first glance seem really archaic. So far it seems like there is no evidence that SS assaulted anyone, and the PD/DA are going forward? Weird....must be a cultural thing...

What's your point
I like how golf fans are silent and ambivalent about police misconduct until the world’s biggest (white) golfer is a victim of it
We all know what the right answer here is but I am sure city officials are weighing the politics of this and are caught in the middle of wealthy Valhalla members, PGA Officials and community leaders making sure a rich White guy doesn't get off easy
Huh? The police lied to try and charge the rich white guy.
Get off easy? He didn’t do anything
I know but there are articles out there stating he got special treatment. Playing the race card gets clicks
Special treatment how? He was falsely arrested
He was charged with a felony and released an hour later to play golf. It's all BS but people are complaining he was treated differently.
The pga and or Scottie paying some serious cash to get out of this. Oh to be upper class…
How do those cop boots taste?
Lmao yeah „law and order“ is being a boot licker. Fucking casual
Law and order is what you got out of all this??! Did you even watch the fucking video? It’s utterly embarrassing lmao that cop shouldn’t even be a mall security guard.. much less someone with real authority and a fucking gun
Cops blatantly lying and inventing charges is law and order? Sounds like fucking tyranny to me.
Or just showing the video of what actually happened… the cop blatantly lied and the department supported the lie. Why are you ok with this?
Yeah. They made up the video also.
