McAfee’s coverage on this has been the literal best. So entertaining and informative.

Really? Look up Scottie talking in the back of the police car. He admits to a lot of wrong doing. I don't think bashing this officer is good reporting.

[@bottlerocket3218]

The people saying the police officer lied are basing that theory completely, and entirely, on their mistaken belief that the video shows what happened, it doesn't, it only shows Scheffler's arrest, not the incident that lead to the arrest.

[@swrpggm]

LMPD blackmailed him so he can't do that.

[@LionAndALamb]

His lawyer said that they could, but Scottie didn't want the taxpayers to have to pay for a lawsuit. Class act.

[@timbertime7823]

Scottie stated he won't do that because it would end up just punishing the taxpayers from Louisville. His attorney basically said if they thought a lawsuit would change the behavior of the police, they would certainly do it but they don't believe anything would change.

[@michaelscott33]

No, they did not do a quid pro quo. Scottie could still sue the department at any point. His lawyer said he didn’t want to because it would cost the tax payers a lot of money and he doesn’t want to make the people of Louisville pay for something the cop did wrong.

Scottie owes the public. He should use the department to help prevent them from doing this to other citizens as they do every day.

[@margaretwickert7725]

This makes sense. That county prosecutor came off like kind of an unconfident bumbler. Did it just become Romines against LMPD? I think he was secretly hoping for the case to go to trial except for the inconvenience it would have caused Scottie. And I'm thinking they should have gone through with the civil trial (He could have donated the award:) except for the stress and inconvenience. No way Scottie ever sets foot in Louisville again!

[@lawrenceshipp2853]

Just for what it's worth, Gillis' injuries consisted of a bruise to his knee and left wrist. Those are two point-of-contact injuries that you would get by falling and landing on your knee and the hand you stuck out to break your fall. It is not what getting dragged over concrete looks like. 'Dragged by a car" = "grabbed hold of a moving vehicle and pulled off balance." Not an assault. Assault requires intent.

And this why you have to sue. Because every time there's the mutual agreement to not pursue charges or suits and thus nothing changes and it keeps happening. No one wants to be trailblazers anymore.

The night that Scottie was arrested I went into a local bodega and a cop was in the store bragging about arresting Scottie and kept saying Scottie lied, and there’s no way Gillis lied. I laughed so hard in the cops face and reminded him about the lies of the LMPD vs Brionna Taylor. It took the department of justice coming to Louisville to investigate. LMPD is so horrible and scary

[@katieg4045]

I personally really appreciate this entire situation with Scottie because it's finally getting folks who support cops no matter what they do realize that what other folks have been saying for decades now is correct - some of them lie their ass off or even plant evidence, get innocent folks thrown in prison, and then face no repercussions and even receive public support. Finally those same folks saying that cops can do no wrong are seeing some do indeed abuse the public's trust and their position of power. And for those who say "not all cops", we'll its certainly enough of them to keep the "bad apples" who do make false arrests out in the field instead of locked up themselves. ofc this will differ by department, naturally, but it's just something to consider....
