My liberal family and friends never want to consider that something might or might not be so if they haven’t seen it on the TV. So I get the question
Here’s the possibilities (that have not been on TV- though I am allowing for the notion that the media could be not telling is everything or even lying…duh)
The cop may very well be over zealous. He could have even seen in the rain in the dark that it was scheffler and he was out to get him. I find this unlikely. My opinion.
The cop was maintaining integrity of the scene dark, rainy, Saturday of the PGA, angry impatient people everywhere clamoring at 0 dark thirty to get into general admission (18th hole) for a tournament for which they’ve had tickets for four years, mad that it was raining wanting to drive over the median
Or scheduled was told to drive up on the median because he is a golfer - by a cop who didn’t communicate with the arresting cop up ahead that scheduler was allowed to go through and drive not on the road but on the median- very unlikely
Sheffler was told by the arresting cop to go ahead and was then double crossed by the same cop. No
Scheffler misunderstood in the confusion that the cop wanted him to stop. No
If I’m around a lot of cops trying to figure out what happened up the road, in this case, a fatality, I am never going to misunderstand and plow through going off road. It will land me in jail
He was told, he misunderstood or he took liberty
In any case whether the cop was 100% wrong or right the guy had to spend a few minutes in jail waiting for the sponsor to come bail him out. He did not want to call his wife with this news but he did. He did not want this attention but now has it. It surrounds the PGA now for home. Won’t go away.
But the purse was $20000000.00. The amount of money and corporate power overwhelming the local politics and law enforcement is tremendous.
They can do away with any footage embarrassing to scheduled in about 5 minutes
If scheffler was following directions from the cops and he didn’t drive on the median and the cops really had no camera on then those details will come out and exonerate him. If he didn’t drive on the median and knock over the cop and the cop just wanted to arrest Scheffler for the heck of it. It will come out. I doubt that’s the case. It would have come out by now
“In any case whether the cop was 100% wrong or right the guy had to spend a few minutes in jail waiting for the sponsor to come bail him out. He did not want to call his wife with this news but he did. “
Horesecrap. He was released without bail.
