I don't necessarily disagree in part, but if this isn't newsworthy than most police stories that get posted on here are not newsworthy.

I agree it's not political. But again, most police stories posted on here are not political or at least should not be political.

But this forum is also a discussion forum of world news, it's in the subtitle of the forum.

And if a multimillionaire professional athlete that is at the top of his sport getting arrested on his way to their sports equivalent of a playoff/championship game isn't a newsworthy event, I guess I don't know what a newsworthy event would be. I mean, it wasn't that he was temporarily detained until things were sorted out. The man was booked in jail.

On a serious note, does the #1 golfer in the world drive himself places?

A lot of them do. I remember several years ago when Mickelson was on his streak, they were playing a tournament at the course near his house in California, and the cameras followed him driving up to the clubhouse in his S-class, hopping out like a baller while on the phone with his bookie.

He seems to be as effective with jail breaks as he is at reading green breaks.

Maybe he could wear a bail bondsman cap on Sunday.....sounds like a great sponsorship opportunity.

He teed off the officer but kept on driving.

Turns out he also stole. And robbed. And kidnapped the president's son. And held him for ransom.
And he never got caught, neither.

Spieth out there catching strays

If you think *this* was reckless driving and criminal mischief, just wait until Spieth tees off. https://t.co/6kLbPUcRCq

The guy is a Conservative Christian. If you don't know why give it a little time. The MSM won't like this guy at all. Wait for it . .

Did the officer notice the hooker?

I don't understand why Valhalla would be blamed for what happened. Terrible accident and then misunderstanding between local police and Scheffler. How are they responsible? They can't tell the cops what to do.

When you have overzealous cops outside the gates mishandling a situation as badly as this one did, why would you want to come back to that venue?

---

It's kind of a "one off" situation and Valhalla was not at fault. I don't think the cops are going to be gunning for other players or fans in the future. I agree that Valhalla needs to go on PR blitz and put pressure on the cops assuming that Sheffler didn't do anything egregiously wrong.

The cop sure acted like TJ Hooker, jumping on the car and all.

But the next time there is a PGA event there, much less a major, all anyone will talk about is this stupid incident. Valhalla will always be associated with it because it happened there. Unfortunately one off incidents have long lasting staying power.

I'm surprised one of his brother cops didn't wave this guy off and save him from himself.

Mayor of Louisville right now...

Of course the cop is named Gillis. Makes it even more hilarious.

Meanwhile hoards of criminals are pouring across our border ! Also, the cop is claiming he was injured after he found out Scotty is very rich and would like a nice chunk of his winnings ?

You must be new to the Oppression Olympics: at the very tippy top you have, for example, a Black, atheist, transman who is a gay guy trapped in a woman's body and supports a Free Palestine.

WAY down the list are conservative Christian white guys.

But below them are cops.

Remember, children: the most oppressed person in any interaction is always in the right.

The officer who attempted to stop Scheffler wasn't part of the regular event-traffic detail at Valhalla Golf Club, "so that's where the miscommunication arose."

Sounds like this guy was a detective that was pissed because he got put on traffic duty at 5am.

Probably thought he was above working that shift and decided that the way to get out of that duty to was to tackle a moving vehicle and effect an arrest.

So 5am flashing lights and irregular traffic patterns and a cop trys to tackle a moving vehicle and injures himself in the process.

But at no point did reason or any sort of judgment prevail. Nobody took the initiiave to sort out what happened and the cop response was to take a PGA player showing up at 5am to jail.

Thats life in 2024.

He is an accident scene investigator, hence the "detective" part. It's an important role, occasionally, when facts are in dispute. Seems he wasn't needed here, though, so he ends up playing crossing guard.

The cops here, as they often do, seemed to want an insane perimeter around the actual accident scene, which was nowhere close to where Scheffler got arrested.

Example: there was an officer involved shooting in my neighborhood last fall. Dude was terrorizing his former live-in companion (i.e., "babymama"), struck her vehicle with his car, brandished a weapon, and knocked out her car window with a crowbar. Cop shows up and orders him to stop, so natch he pulls out his gun and shoots the cop, who then shoots him in the head. GAME OVER.

Whole thing was over in 30 seconds, so the scene investigators shut down multiple city blocks for NINE HOURS while at least 25 cops stood guard living they best life, getting paid overtime for doing a whole lot of not jack squat.
