Your arguments are ridiculous.
The guy drove on the median.
Take the L and move on.

Here’s what the police report reads:

Scheffler, in an attempt to bypass the traffic, pulled into the westbound lane, where Gillis was stationed “in full LMPD uniform and a hi-visibility yellow reflective rain jacket.

That would mean he was on the opposite side of the road from the entrance traveling east and would need to cross the road to get into the club entrance.

The report said Gillis stopped Scheffler and attempted to give him instructions, but that Scheffler “refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging [him] to the ground.”

ESPN’s Darlington said Scheffler drove about 10 yards before pulling over by the club entrance.

If you look at the tapes, you will see that the entrance to the club was not on the edge of the road but about 20 yards inside of the lane with a gate and film displayed Scheffler driving in that lane and had not reached the entrance yet when he was detained.

But, he did cross the traffic of the westbound part of the road after ignoring Gillis’ attempt to stop him.

Romines, lawyer, said “the miscommunication arose” because Gillis isn’t part of the regular event-traffic detail. “They are allowed to go through, that’s why they have the credential and the wave-through,”

And I suppose the presence of numerous police cruisers with lights on and high-visibility vests with traffic blocked off in both directions is not a sure sign that something is different?

From a previous entry.

“comparing Sheffler driving on the median to rape and murder is a bit of a stretch”

You don’t see this scenario as a major event but they booked him on a felony.

You can call this what you want, but it is just another time when law enforcement looks the other way for athletes because of the local income. And ponder this, they didn’t take him to court, the just dropped the charges. Happens all the time for numerous athletes for many different offenses. This is just another one.

But I’ll leave you with an article from ESPN which will give you an idea of what the real world is like:

And this isn’t even at the pro level where the money is far more lucritive. I’m off this topic, have a good time.
