Looking at the video available since the cop claims he didn't turn on his body camera as required by policy, it appears he struck the driver's window in a hammer fist type manner and could very well caused his minor wrist injury. Zero footage of him being drug or knocked down. If he really just got assaulted and dragged by a car injuring him severe enough to go to the hospital you would think that you would remember to activate his body cam. Most departments have a 30 second prerecord buffer and some up to 90 sec. There is a reason he forgot this was no rookie and he has a lengthy behavior complaint file that appears to be a trend.
Now if his body camera didn't back up the statement of fact on the police report I can see the CYA move would be to claim the officer didn't turn on his camera. Louisville police have effed this thing up badly and have decided to go all in on the the cops word against the accused word. If they take it to court no way a jury based on that video can find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt since this entire thing is based on reasonable doubt.
Wasn't it Louisville police who shot the girl Breonna Taylor In her apartment that had them in hot water a few of years ago? I'm thinking they should be real careful on how far they try to take this lie. Scheffler has zero history of being a hothead or acting as he's being accused, actually quite the opposite and Louisville PD just on a quick google search is riddled with scandals just in the last few years.
I'm guessing the DA doesn't even pursue this and Scheffler isn't the suing type
