There’s a rumor that one Officer wanted him to hold up and another Officer ( behind the vehicle) wanting him to pull up and get going not to jam up traffic!

Yup! 😉 "Officer! Don't you know who I am?" No! And it doesn’t (or shouldn't) make any difference"! 🤨

But all too often it does

I can't find any report where that part is disputed. Look..hes a good guy in a bad scene...its unfortunate but it is what it is at this point

Not that I think he is totally innocent, but he is a celebrity. There are quite a few "nut jobs" out there! Possibly he was concerned that whoever was "attached" to his car, meant to do him harm? Maybe we should wait for all the details to "come to light".

On July 18, 1972, the Rolling Stones were on their way to Boston. Logan airport was fogged in, so they landed in Providence RI and proceeded to get into a semi-brawl at the airport.

They were arrested & booked for Assault & Battery on a Police Officer ... sounding familiar?

At the time, I was stuck at Boston Garden, listening to Stevie Wonder singing for about 3 hours.

Our cracker-jack Mayor Kevin White got on the phone and prevailed upon the Providence Police Department, to release the boys and send them by limo, to Boston. The boys showed up about midnight and played what's considered one of their best concerts ever.

You see, they were THE SHOW. Scottie and 154 of his friends, were THE SHOW.

It makes a difference and to think otherwise, is either naive or disengenous.

Most of those wearing the yellow rain slickers and ZERO police markings on them...

And from reports, Scheffler DID follow the initial police directions for players and tournament personnel to go around the stopped traffic.

The cop who tried to stop him was not part of the traffic control and probably had no idea what was going on...

As he was instructed to do...

Did you see any of the footage? Did you not see police cars with lights flashing? What was the Detective doing? His job!
That’s like questioning if you stopped at an accident scene that just happened and you wanted to direct traffic around people that got hurt, how would you feel if people disregarded you and hit the people that got hurt?
Say the cops closed a highway down because of a fatality, but you had a golfer go around the barricade because he didn’t want to be late for his tee time? He was in a marked golf car so it should be fine!!!
Stop blaming the cops.

He was not assigned to traffic control, so he was NOT doing his job...

Those assigned to traffic control told Scheffler (and other PGA personnel) to go around.

It's quite apparent that the Detective didn't get the memo...

There are ZERO reports Scheffler said anything close to that. If fact, police reporst stated he was polite, and albeit a bit confused at what was going on...

Need I remind everyone that this is the some group that killed Breonna Taylor in an overzealous attack. Also, as far as the LEO's being hyped up, aren't they trained to be better than that.

Exactly. I am a huge fan of law enforcement but anyone who has remotely followed Scottie Scheffler just knows he is a nice, decent, well behaved person.

Fast forward 52 years.....May 30, 2024 Gillette Stadium, Foxboro MA. They're still THE SHOW!

Or he was dispatched to and working a vehicular crime scene where someone perished. He was there, working. Whether he was in the right or wrong...that'll get sorted out. What I'm sure he wasn't (as others speculated on here) was part of a SS 'enrichment' dive for $. Not everybody is a PGA/Scheffler fan boy! Some people just work events

I'll be there, for my 5th or 6th show ... including the famous Sir Morgan's Cove "secret show" in '81. I didn't actually see the show at Sir Morgan's, but I was there when the Winnebago pulled up 😂
