At no point was the officer dragged. He just made it up.

[@michaeleverett9050]

At some point the political, law enforcement and prosecutors of Louisville need to find an adult to get in the room with enough common sense to tell the to make this go away. They are in a “no win” situation legally or otherwise and, it will only get worse if they continue to move forward with this.

Bryan Gillis was suspended for five days in 2013 after doing donuts in a business parking lot while an "intoxicated civilian" was in his police car with him...In 2011, Gillis received a one-day suspension without pay for violation of LMPD's court attendance policy, which is the same suspension he received in 2010 for the same reprimand...a reprimand for failing to show up for court appearances in April 2010... “WLKY Louisville, KY

Almost every officer has been suspended You can get suspended for being involved in an accident. Very common given the type of driving officers do. What is more important is a pattern of behavior. Does he exhobit anger manageme t issues etc...

This pig straight up lied. Dont make excuses for his ass. He also conveniently did not have his camera turned on, contrary to policy. Dude is dirty as doggie dudu and considering hsi past "incidents" he is fricken dirty.

[@LC-uh8if]

Not suspended without pay. They're usually suspended with pay or put behind a desk if there's a pending investigation. Suspended without pay is a punitive measure and would indicate they were found to have done something wrong.

[@BirdDogey1]

@@LC-uh8if Suspended with pay is done when the agency anticipates a dismissal. They cant punish and then termimate. Suspended without pay is punitive and some agencies pass those out freely.

Oh man, LMPD lying again and not wearing a body cam.

[@suminshizzles6951]

The officer "failed" to activate his camera during the incident. No surprise threre. Now i am reading below that this guy had trouble before within the department. Smells like a dirty cop to me. The fact that he did not turn his camera on just furthers this view for me that he is dirty. Did he write in his reports that he was dragged and video footage proved otherwise? So is he bieng charged for falsifying a charge sheet now? Or is the department goign to cover for this dirty cop who lied?

[@scottblair6845]

America faces these things daily. Common since Answers. After a louisville police department has 7 fbi investigations for corruption. One remedy. Force body cams. Why would a lawful officer resist transparency? Why are citizens having to buy their own cams while enjoying libetty/travel? Why do law officers get mad when you record your traveling? Why do law officers get upset when you record any interaction with the police? Why are officers admittedly trained to Lie? Why do law officers who swear an oath to the constitution. Try to find a way to violate search and seizures 4th amendment protections? Why is it acceptable for law officers to lose their tempers. Berate. Get physical. That if any citizen acted in such way would face serious crimes? And these so called moral authorities wouldn't blink an eye destroying your life. Side note moral authorities aren't adulters, pedaphiles, liars, thieves. Also aren't a moral authority when real crimes happen. They don't have time for it. To busy being highway robbers on the side of the road. Will steal your paycheck boy. Don't make them mad. Bow down and lick their boot. I love real law. Real moral authorities. But when the state becomes the biggest criminal. And a police state. Papers please Germany. 4th amendment. Conditioning a citizenry. Good luck in the next war with a nation of sheep. And you beg for my sons to die for you. A simpler solution. If this evil is what you want. China, cuba, north korea, vietnam, Venezuela is your utopia. Go get it.

[@williamroberts6803]

Looks to me like he almost ran over the police officer. We see him not stopping so looks like good arrest. He doesn’t get a pass because he’s a golfer.

[@bpdmf2798]

Where do you see that? I see a cop running towards his car and him stopping. That's it.

[@KevinBurth-db3iv]

Looks clear that the cop assaulted Scheffler with his flashlight. Subpar cop who tried to cover his tracks for yet another poor behavior decision. He should have been fired 3 suspensions ago. A blemish on a good solid police force. The bad apple needs to be dismissed.

[@bpdmf2798]

Who is looking for a payout? The golfer? He said he doesn't want to sue after the charges were dropped. So who? The cop? Yeah, he's a POS.

[@thegoodfight8316]

He doesn’t need the money but he has a very clear, winnable lawsuit that would certainly be offered up to a settlement…

[@Macrodosian897]

I think he said that it wouldn’t be right for the taxpayers in Louisville to have to pay anything because of a misunderstanding. He’s clearly taking the high road, probably against the advice of his attorney. It’s pretty clear his attorney wants to fight, and I can’t say I blame him either

[@thegoodfight8316]

@@Macrodosian897 there is of course another option that few people take and that’s name the officer directly in the lawsuit and sue him rather than the city. I personally think more people should go that route when cops do stuff like this.

Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.. Just because Scheiffler is a golf pro, dosent mean he's smart enough to understand that he's not special and can't drive through and around a major accident scene, and that he has to stop for law enforcement when given a lawful order. It's 100% understandable that he would have the false impression that laws are for the poor, common, blue collar people. And not for him. Because... Golf and money and stuff.

[@gerardvalentino]

Problem is the facts don’t back up your idiotic premise…he drove where he was TOLD to drive by other officers, and where several other cars drove just before this incident …. On another note, which member of your family is a cop?
