Championship arrest dismissed

Original Article

The charges against 10-time PGA Tour winner Scottie Scheffler were dismissed on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after he was arrested just before the second round of the PGA Championship in Kentucky. Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell addressed the court and filed a motion to have all charges against the two-time major winner dismissed after finding in the prosecutor’s investigation that the evidence corroborated his claim that it was all a "misunderstanding." Scheffler, 27, was facing four charges including felony assault over injuries a Louisville Metro Police Department officer sustained during the encounter on May 17.

They let the charges hang over his head for 2 weeks. Once other cameras showed there was no 'dragging incident', there was no way they would proceed.

The cop is abusive. Fire him. Make him pay Scheffler’s legal fees.

I like to think the PGA made a few well placed inquiries regarding the economic impact of them packing their tent up in years ahead vs. the inevitable fiasco they were facing.

The charges were clearly crap, and the cop absolutely LIED, the videoes proved that. He had his bodycam off because he's a loose cannon, likely to do out of control crazy crap and lie about it, so he doesn't want his tattler on. This is a cop who needs to be fired.

Imagine this happening to some nobody, with no connections or wealth, and imagine what would have happened to them. The 'railroad' runs through Louisville in more ways than one.

Perhaps somebody wanted to prevent Scottie from a probable win. At least they didn't inflict disabling injury on Scottie to achieve it. But an investigation into possible foul play.

Scheffler was red hot coming into the major PGA Championship. We'll never know what he could have done without the stress of this incident clouding his mind. You can't unring that bell.

Charges dismissed against PGA #1 golfer Scottie Scheffler. Even if the charges were from an over-zealous police officer. Now would be a good time to make a rather large charitable donation to LPD thanking them for their hard work. No hard feelings should remain on either side.

#10 That would be great after EVERYONE involved with trying to railroad him (until indisputable evidence appeared) is fired and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Maybe then, the "Good Guys with Guns" will understand you don't just arbitrarily mess with peoples Civil Rights.

I agree with #3. I think the PGA most likely had a meeting with the Powers That Be at the Police Station and read them the Riot Act. For that Barney Fife Cop to do what he did, in the hopes of getting his name on TV, backfired. I would hope he's mopping floors at the Police Station right now! No City wants to lose the Revenue of a major PGA Outing. I hate to think of the grief it gave Scottie, and there is no way to rectify that, but if he wasn't the Stand Up Guy he is, he just might think about suing the Cop who made him look like A Crook to the whole world watching the PGA that day! What is that saying "where do I go to get my Reputation Back"? Scottie must have been wondering that after the day he was arrested!

The pretty close to saintly Scottie Scheffler is probably the last person I ever expected to see wearing Ricky Fowler orange anywhere, let alone in a Louisville jail. How the heck did that happen? What an unnecessary imbroglio. Thankfully, cooler heads than the excitable detective dick tracy prevailed. "Dick" had himself quite a time showing the world's #1 golfer who's boss, and might have injured him trying to yank him out of his clearly marked player's courtesy car. Taking Scottie down to County handcuffed just made dick's day. Wahoo, he got to arrest somebody, teach him a lesson he won't forget. If Scottie had shown any resistance at the scene, dick appeared p.o.'d enough to have considered shooting him. Now it's time for dick to enter the unemployment line, alongside Mayor Craig "Leg" Greenberg.

Scheffler was +1200 going into the Championship. I did not look up the odds that were given for him to win all 4 Majors, but I believe he was favored. One has to wonder if this “policeman’ is going to buy vacation property, or a new fishing boat now that alllllll those bets placed are gone.

It’s not about Scottie Scheffler, it’s about all of us. As many have pointed out, Scottie got the case dismissed, but do any of us think we’d be so lucky? Until this incident, I thought police fabricating charges, jamming people up, and destroying their lives was grievance studies nonsense. Good work, LPD: you got a diehard like me seeing the other side of the coin.

Well my reply was shut down basically because I said there’s a two-tiered justice system, one for the Scottie Schefflers of the world and one for the rest of us. Scottie was railroaded. He had enough clout to bring attention to the railroading (and still had to pay probably big bucks to his attorney); any of us would still be facing the charges and would be doing the time even though, like Scottie, we did no crime. Let’s just say this incident has opened my eyes and made me a whole lot more sympathetic.

Historical events, like people, have a life story. They are conceived, come into a life of their own, and are either rejected by events or become part of what is called the future. The Civil War of 1861, fought over what the US was to be, became visible in the Compromise of 1850 before assuming its final shape. The issues, the matters about what it was to be, were developing for a decade before the first shot was fired.

California could be a much nicer place to live if some of the progressives who run the place would stop trying their best to make everything more expensive. California has had blackouts and despite this came close to shutting down its last nuclear reactor. In 2022, Gov.

Lola is the title of a song released by The Kinks in 1970. The song chronicles the romantic misadventures between a young man and a transgendered woman named Lola who, "walked like a woman but talked like a man.” Lola may provide a surprise in the bedroom or in a London nightclub, inspiration for the song, but such surprises are most unwelcome, and unfair, on the athletic field. Such sports stories have become all too common, representative of the new normal of our gender-confused culture where athletic organizations, high schools, and colleges don’t seem able to distinguish between boys and girls or men and women.

Donald Trump’s resilience in the polls as he endures the bogus trial in Manhattan has befuddled the political left. "Why isn't Trump's trial hurting him?” leftists ask. They can’t understand it because they’re so blinded by their hatred for Trump that they can’t see that his legal troubles don't stem from a fair justice system but a biased system motivated by politics. The polls prove it as they show that the public believes the criminal charges are politically motivated. The Biden campaign is panicking about the situation and decided to revise its strategy of largely ignoring the trial to sending actor Robert DeNiro to the Manhattan courthouse to troll Trump.

Last week, a 12-person jury in Manhattan found the former president guilty on 34 counts for falsifying records to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The former president will likely appeal his conviction, which may or may not be overturned before the November election. Should the former president win the election before the conviction could be overturned, certain countries would have to make an exception if he were to visit on official business.

If you do any amount of movie or TV series streaming via Netflix, Prime or other channels, you may have noticed a truly annoying trend of loud, inappropriate songs in the background of what you’re watching. The singers are almost always bad and the lyrics almost always totally wrong for the content of the movie or series you're watching. I was watching a murder-mystery thriller movie on Prime and suddenly a soundtracker bursts into loud, raucous songs about something utterly unrelated to the plot. I have noticed this trend mostly in the last five years but lately, it has been enough to make me hit the mute button.

Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. Armed with a Ph.D. in physics and a medical practice extending over five decades as a radiation oncologist, Dr. Mantik has seen the JFK autopsy skull X-rays more than anyone else. Using a densitometer, he measured the light coming through the X-rays millimeter-by-millimeter (with some measurements at a tenth-of-a-millimeter calibration).
