Keep hearing that the officer "attached himself to the car."Quote:
That led to an officer attaching himself to Scheffler's car.
Detective Gillis' uniform pants, valued at approximately $80 were damaged beyond repair.'
Word is that he being reassigned as a school resource officer.Quote:

Perfect example of how thin the line is between model citizen and someone with a record. Imagine if this was an average citizen. Their life could very well be ruined by a cop like this.
And every time they fill out a job application from now on, the part when it says 'have you ever been arrested' they gotta check yes. How demoralizing that got to be over some dumbass cop bs.Quote:
I would bet a paycheck that someone else in Louisville in the last 24 hours had the same exact thing happen to them and there is nothing they can do about it.

So one cop says something stupid and you go after all police officer's intelligence? Try to do that job for a week and see what you think.Logos Stick said:

scheffler misunderstood who the person flagging him was, thought it was a security guard
the cop misunderstood why scheffler was going around the traffic
the resulting actions does not change that this stemmed from a huge misunderstanding

Oh absolutely. That's the entire point. It happens hundreds of times a day all over the country. Cops are trained to do this. This was not an accident, they just accidentally did it to the best golfer in the world.

Seems he wasn't needed here, though, so he ends up playing crossing guard.Stat Monitor Repairman said:Sounds like this guy was a detective that was pissed because he got put on traffic duty at 5am.Quote:
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."
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.
He has no idea how lucky he is. Could easily have been surrounded my a couple dozen MRAPs and his car shot so many times it would look like Bonnie and Clyde's 1934 Ford.agsalaska said:Philip J Fry said:

Question for the resident LEO's here at F16:
Is jumping on a car in this situation like a normal procedure and directive that they were trained to do?
I'm just having a hard time believing that cops are directed to jump on a car for something as minor as someone trying to go around the incident.
