there is a video report on YT stating that insurance will no longer cover the city for civil lawsuits, because the amount has ballooned over the last decade. I believe the LPD is under federal investigation, the cops don't/won't learn, taxpayers pay...now directly out of the budget..and the lies and corruption continue. Many cities are facing this, when budgets for services get slashed, then perhaps qualified immunity reform will get serious.

One of the most important things you can have nowadays is body camera footage with audio. The blame belongs on the police officer for not doing what he is instructed and compelled to do with respect to his body camera. I can tell you from personal experience between the police departments and fire department and all of the equipment meaning the police cars and firetrucks and sometimes road flares, there is so much confusion about what you should be doing as a motorist in a situation like that is astounding. I was able from a ridge where I lived to see flashing red and blue lights over 3 miles away. I didn't know where they were exactly until I got to that intersection and discovered that it was very close to my destination. The amount of police cars here and there at different angles, compounded by various firetrucks parked at different kinds of angles and every one of them had lights flashing headlights on and blinding intensity from those lights. A fireman was standing between two lights sources directing traffic and he was barely even visible and the firetruck was pointed directly at oncoming traffic. Sometimes they don't have enough sense to turn the lights to a parking light position. In my estimation there are so excited to be there with all of these lights going that no one actually thinks about what the outcome could be blinding motorists. When I had lunch today with three business associates we discussed this problem and to a person they confirmed what my thoughts were these guys get off on flashing lights and sirens and sometimes this kind of stuff happens. At a close by intersection to where I live there was a small housefire caused by a candle and it was extinguished by the fire department which is housed six doors away and it was extinguished within five minutes. However, 13 firetrucks showed up from different departments some of them from 15 miles away. It was a circle jerk extraordinaire.

Looks to me like officer is not disclosing some info, and can’t seem to prove he was dragged! If he were charged with a crime he’d have to be proven guilty beyond innocent but here they are asking for Scottie to be proven guilty when the evidence so far is showing he was correct. Then officer is bitching ? wtf not a good look at all from someone outside of the area for sure. Good luck with that.

DA doesn’t want to move the court date that Judge admits she lets all defendants choose when it’s convenient for court /Attys and person charged. DA said it was cScottie sheffler no one really knew him he wasn’t like a huge athlete (basically stated) then goes on to say “ we all know he’s been here for 6 days “ 🤷‍♂️😂. Plus Mr DA if it were Michael Jordan or another big Athlete, or if it were Tiger Woods who was playing in the tournament, his ass wouldn’t have gotten charged and in fact he would have gotten taken away from the scene! But Scottie went to jail and actually (did miss ) his tee time and they were able to work around, but it costs him something in this I assure you! This is craziness. It might and I mean “might “ be different if the video showed officer being dragged and his pants were on display and video showed Scottie being rude.

The police were surely aware golfers would be coming, and said golfers would all be under greater strain than the average person. Yet, they clearly did not take this into consideration.

So, the LPD has an image problem 🤔 that attorney who has represented 100s of bad cops...why ????

No Major PGA Golf Tournament or any Major Sporting Event should ever be held in Louisville again after the treatment of Scottie Scheffler by the authorities there.

This was not a "bad look for the police dept" this was simply a revealing look as to how they normally do business and had this been a regular person he would be going to prison as all those in charge down there would be pretending that they believe the cop told the truth.

The only inequities in the system are that cops can lie and do, and it can happen to you too.

Why has that attorney interviewed needed to represent "100's of officers." What does that say about LMPD?

That lie should take him from being suspended to being fired cuz he doubled down on it with video proofing him wrong.

Life is full of inequities. Some people are taller than others, some by mere chance find wealth, others find trauma. Mr. Scheffler had the good fortune to have evidence that put the charges in serious doubt. Even more so he had the notoriety to encourage the public to watch the case closely. Finally, through the happenstance of genetics, his own dedication and some luck he had the wealth to vigorously fight this case.

The ghost of Breonna Taylor would like a word about the Louisville Police Department's "professionalism."

Watch the videos folks, no dragging, instead officer pursued and fell. Like so many other "chief's" in Dem run cities and their focus on DEI should come into question. Are there any white chiefs of police out there

Simple fix Gillis, turn your body cam on and we would know for sure if you were dragged. You have a history of lying and trumping up charges there at LMPD. It seems like the majority of LMPD has an issue with turning on their body worn camera. There is a reason for that and that is to hide their corruptness.

“Special treatment”, looks like he deserved special treatment!

The black community never misses a chance to be a victim. Great job!

You should have told the urban league when there’s CLEAR video showing the guy was innocent and the cop lied even a guy from the hood would have been released. IF the cops release the video

The last 20 years seems to be an example of police agencies that have basically been given so much rope that they hung themselves with it. Now let's be honest with ourselves and the system, you cannot place a famous person in general lockup just like you can't put a cop in general population, some jails just don't have the facilities to deal with segregating inmates. If you put this famous person in general population and they get hurt then you’re liable and you’re sure to be under a microscope because of their fame. That’s why they always appear to be receiving preferential treatment, in many cases they simply have to. There are countless examples of people that were just supposed to spend the night in jail that have died while in police custody or have been injured by other inmates. If you want these people to be treated like everyone else you have to be willing to spend a lot of money on your facilities and also be prepared to lose a lot of tax money when they sue you for anything that was done wrong.

Looks like some of the complainers are really green with jealousy. Maybe some reflection on boundaries would be more appropriate. Let the guy handle his business and shut up. Of course I can't but they should.

if cops like that still have jobs then their force is always going to have a black eye, change the culture or continue to have issues.
