The jackass cops are charging him with assaulting a police officer= pure bs--Who do they think they are with such a ridiculous charge. Is there any justice in this world or is it all about money? Every other car with a pga sticker were allowed to go in. The cop jumped on Schefflers car. If that is assaulting a police officer my name is Hitler. Get real police, no wonder hatred rises for you. You lack justice. No wonder police forces are short of men even though crime is rampant, because of your injustice and bs charges.

Well sometimes these prima-donna mega-stars (Woods, Beckham) can think the world owes them a special pass for anything.
Like this Black who caused a plane to actually Deboard and was not arrested. But we can't carry more than 4oz of toothpaste? HUH? Did he re-imburse cost of the medical and police service? OR are all rich Black "stars" above the law? OJ, Cosby anyone?
***************

Newly released police footage has shown exactly what happened when NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. was escorted from an American Airlines flight at Miami International Airport.

The 30-year-old wide receiver is a free agent after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the Los Angeles Rams win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI in February 2022. Beckham Jr. refused to leave the aircraft, which was beginning to taxi on the runway, after flight crew reported that he was unresponsive.

Beckham Jr. told crew that he was recovering from a night at a club, but there were concerns because he was undressing to his underwear and crew were not happy with the flight taking off with him on board.
A medical emergency was called, and the plane was halted as fire crews and police responded.

The new footage shows an officer speaking while wearing a body camera, saying: "He was in underwear. He told the [flight attendant] that he's been clubbing all night. He's either drunk, or both: pills and drunk."

Police are having to recruit from the bottom of the barrel these days.

Never seen Scheffler display any of that. IMHO the cops copped an attitude.

1. I know nothing about the matter, so of course I shall contribute my two cents!!!

2. Is it possible that the police officers did not know who he was, and is it possible some of the police officers (of a "certain" race) thought something like: "I'm going to put this Caucasian dude in his place."

It wasn’t a race thing. There was a fatal accident that the police were handling that’s why traffic was stopped.

My guess is that Scottie thought it was normal event traffic which he as a player has credentials to bypass so he can get to the course. He said he thought he was being waved through.

Will be interesting to see the body cam footage. The charges sound ridiculous

Understood. His sounds more like, I got to get to my tee time. We are allowed to go around this and get let in the gate? I don't know. I just remember the Black guy event. Imagine what would happen to you if you caused a scene big enough to deboard a plane?

Sheffler actually got cuffed and arrested. While the Big Black "star" actually forced a plane to taxi back to the gate and de-board. I did not hear of any arrest for the Black guy. He was escorted away and let free and loose.

The civilian handled the situation properly

A black son of obama might have resisted arrest and gotten himself shot or killed

This isn’t a black and white issue. Scottie is one of the tamest dudes on tour. Community driven, religious, and just had his first kid last week. World ranked number 1 golfer.

Players get special credentials to skip traffic and go to drop off zones. It was 6am, still dark out. Very understandable confusion. How that led to felony charges is pretty unbelievable.

I don’t think this is going to shake out well for the cops

Especially if the local golf course thinks this removes them from consideration from future events.

Well yeah… majors are the superbowl of golf. Big deal and crazy competition to get to host one. Big bucks. That cop could be costing his community many many millions

Still have to wait to get all the information. Since this was a special detail or a DT working an accident, I doubt we will see any vest cams.

I understand the seriousness of an accident scene and if it’s a case of a person just trying to jump traffic, I get it. But the fact that these players get express passes around traffic for these events makes the confusion understandable. But you’re right. Wait and see what info comes from the cams

A video recorded by ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington showed a handcuffed Scheffler being led to a police cruiser by two officers. "Right now, he's going to jail," an officer is heard telling Darlington. "He's going to jail, and there ain't nothing you can do about it."

Here's what I believe. This is a perfect example of white privilege. So the dude is a god at golf courses. There's traffic, an emergency, doesn't matter, he has to get there in time to tee off. So if there was an accident, he is entitled to drive around. Hell, drive on the grass. A lot of these fans would let him and rory mcelroy run a train on their sisters. LOL

Actually, he is credentialed to drive into the course like all the other golfers, and the administrators of the event.

It's the fans that have to park further away and be bussed to the venue, for obvious reasons.

Believe whatever you want but get the facts first. Do you know that Scottie knew there was an accident at 6am in the dark? Did you know that players get courtesy vehicles with special access to drop of zones so they bypass event traffic? That’s the way it is. It’s very likely that this was a case of confusion and not an egomaniac playing god trying to sneak special treatment.
