What’s crazy to me is there are still people that trust tax collectors. Stop making police interactions comfortable.

So you just get out of the car for anyone that tells you to wearing a yellow vest?
And refuse to let Scottie speak with him...poor guy got a scrape on his knee. This was most definitely a power trip. They wanted a PGA golfer to go to jail. Plain and simple

After that officer's advice, car jackers everywhere are buying yellow vests.
op is so edgy calling cops tax collectors
And just like that...charges will be dropped as long as Scottie agrees not to sue. (if this source is accurate)
Can't believe it took this long. Assuming Scottie isn't going to sue, but just funny that's the proposed agreement.

Bad look for Louisville PD and police in general.
He should sue. What if it was some regular joe who got hit with all these charges and couldn't defend themselves. That person's life would be in shambles over some power tripping cop.
Sue them and donate it to some charity in Louisville.
Yeah, but he may just want to be done with it. I agree with you, but also could see from his standpoint that he will accept the proposal to drop the charges.
The lawyers would be lined up to take that case.
Louisville had a bad reputation prior to this but at the moment they look even worse. Surprised this story has stayed so quiet.
Cops have a way higher percentage of douchebags in their profession than they rightfully should.
I think it depends on how much time it requires. Like, does he have to appear in court during British Open or US Open? I don't know how that works if you go to trial.
He would have to go to trial for this first. ( he would win) And then he would go to another trial for the civil suit i would assume. Just seems like a lot of time when you're trying to win golf tournaments.
Maybe.
If the everyone's professional exposure was similar, I doubt you'd find that to be true.
Ive never understood why most cops feel the need to lie about your rights and/or the situation most of the time. Instead of enforcing the law and protecting the citizen by explaining their rights, the situation and what they can or cannot do, they tend to put up this barrier instead.
This particular cop does a bad job of reasoning and explaining. He's defensive, seems to be more of "you better listen and do what I say."
It's an issue that will not be changed overnight. Since you're never going to stop people from breaking the law, how about taking a more "protect the public and the constitution" approach with people, instead of shut up and listen or I'll take you to jail for not listening to my terrible reasoning skills.
If I were a cop, I would remind people of their entire rights at every interaction. You know, when you're not being detained you can freely leave and not talk to me. I don't see a lot of that, instead I see them reaching for reasons to detain someone or in this case, try to threaten extra charges like "you dragged that cop down the road because he overacted, even though that's on him."
These guys have the ability to completely alter your life in seconds. They should remember that with every single word they speak. "I'm not here to destroy your life or take you to jail, instead I'm here to protect you from all of that. You know, serve and protect."

If I was Scotty I'd say no deal. You're going to lose in court and I'm going to sue you to kingdom come.
But, I'm not a mature adult who would rather just put the incident behind him.
This needs to be the Halloween costume of the year.
Everyone wear Yellow Vests with:
Not
A
Random
Citizen
on the front and back.
There is, and should be, a higher standard for law enforcement than for Jack in accounting. If there was ever a time that the adage "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch" should be applied, it's law enforcement.
I will never condone police using brutality on offense rather than defense. That said, I readily admit they have a narrow needle to thread with controlling a situation from the outset. With some people, criminal or not in all walks of life, servant leadership just won’t work. Those situations need to be read carefully. In some cases, a certain amount of force becomes necessary but it needs to be kept to a minimum needed to do the job. I think the majority of LEOs want no part of needless bloodshed. But I also think most of the ones who do get violent have a deep-seated, bottled-up fear that occasionally explodes in an awful and tragic fashion. I don’t understand why there’s an inability in their brotherhood to take care of themselves and one another given how damn difficult the job is and the pressures it puts on their home lives. But there’s no excuse for that brotherhood to let it manifest on innocent people, or even people who are guilty of minor crimes but end up seriously injured or slain. This is a position of responsibility. A verbal dispute or a thwarted attempt at resistance between an officer and a suspect should not be a death sentence on the spot. Some families have seen that happen to them in multiple generations, police need to understand that fear, too, in handling suspects. And I also don’t understand why that brotherhood of LEO: shuns all responsibility for backlash against their unwarranted violence, much less when they actively cover it up. Defending needless police brutality rather than condemning it makes every aspect of the job less safe. It even makes it difficult for non-LEO first responders to do their jobs. This is not any kind of quality path to a strong nation and a lot needs to change in this particular aspect of serving the people and enforcing the law.
A regular joe would be lucky if charges were all he got hit with. Kudos to Scheffler for keeping his cool, but he also was tone deaf in his press conference that afternoon. Some folks in his position wouldn’t have been able to laugh with officers from their cell while stretching out in case they still make their tee time.
I would say that you only hear about the douchebags and that is the perception that is portrayed.
No amount of cats rescued from trees will undo the thousands of innocent people wantonly murdered by cops.
And it's not just the murderers. How would you feel if you lived in Uvalde, and had to come to terms with the fact that your entire police force is a bunch of yellow cowards unwilling to risk their lives to save children?
When was the last time you even heard a story about a positive interaction with law enforcement? Getting let out of a speeding ticket by a "cool" cop doesn't count.
Especially if said person was a complete deadbeat who tried to counterfeit checks and had a history of arrests.
If the cops lie about what happens during interactions with a rich and powerful PGA pro, imagine what they've done to countless "regular" folks.
Exactly why Scottie shouldn’t have agreed to drop this interaction. If it was me every cop involved would be fired when my legal team was done. I also would be getting paid like a MFer.
You can only guess how many people have been arrested because of these pigs lying.
They exists but they won't be published because that doesn't meet the anti-police narrative that plagues this country. The narrative only changes when they are needed, then they are heroes. Truth of the matter is that people make bad choices and put themselves and the police in no-win situations but hey it's always the cops fault for trying to doing his job the way he was trained.
I've never had a bad experience with police officers but one of my friends can't stand police. He's an upstanding citizen, extremely successful and isn't a minority so it kind of surprised me. So I asked why?
Turns out he was driving a certain type of car that was favored by drug runners. He said when he used to travel to Charleston often he would get pulled over almost every trip. They had no reason to pull him over. They would harass him and want to search the car. He would comply and then they wouldn't find anything so they threatened to bring in drug dogs. They would ask all kinds of questions about why he had been in Charleston. Guy owned a very successful business there. They would call his business to confirm he owned it. This happened multiple times and would hold him up for at least an hour. He finally told them to screw off when they wanted to search his car and they called in a drug dog and scratched up his car. Basically they abused their power and didn't apologize for it. So he hates law enforcement and I can't blame him.
Fast Food workers say hold my beer.
They no doubt have the hardest job on the planet. We took away insane asylums thus throwing those yahoos out in the public and leaving it up to law enforcement to sort out and expect them to be the best decision maker on a Mcdonal's manager salary.
They have to be better at protecting the citizen from the government though, instead of trying to fill up every jail cell in America, every call they go to.

LOL no. There is WAY more incompetence and little dick syndrome in that profession than there should be.
Most police officers are nice enough people when they aren't doing their job. Unfortunately, crap like this happens every day. This cop just didn't realize who he was trying to bully and it bit him.
Too many of them are either ignorant of the Constitution or just don't care. There is no real accountability from the department and thanks to qualified immunity, they don't even have real accountability from a lawsuit.

which was a no brainer for Louisville PD
Not sure why they drug it out this long and continued to make excuses
Charges dropped (right thing)
Scotty did the WRONG THING. I was scared and did not know who he was. You could tell in his voice he was lying.
Scottie never once told the guy, who he was or why he was in that lane. (to my knowledge). Stay in your car and ask for a policemen.
Bad look for tournament organizers!

It's happened to me, more than once. At this point, I straight up do not believe a word any cop says, unless I had a pre-existing relationship with the person.
Not in Scottie’s nature; although you and I would jump all over it. He just wants this to go away.
I have a similar story other than the part about being a decent, successful, upstanding citizen. I got dragged out of my house, put in chains, and hauled off to county for a day, because a former manager at a restaurant where I worked got pissed at me for quitting one day, and filed fake charges with some cop friend of hers. He lied throughout the entire process at every conceivable turn. And called me arrogant for challenging his lies. Charges were all dismissed by the solicitor but it cost me nearly $1000.
Fvck em all. I hate them.
