Per the above, Scheffler was trying to get around the area by driving over a median. I can see why that would have alarmed a cop because the LEO would have no way if knowing for sure what the driver intended.

Pity Scheffler didn’t identify himself to LE, explain the situation, and politely inquire if there was a way to get past the backup.

I’m no longer reflexively pro-cop for many reasons. But anyone driving over a median can reasonably be assumed to be drunk or high on something.

In a situation like that, a cop must act rather quickly. So I’ve got to assign a big chunk of the blame here to Scheffler.

In my experience, good manners go a long way.
