So far there’s no video of what actually happened as far as I know. That means whatever the cops said is almost definitely not the truth.
Exactly. Especially with resisting arrest or assaulting an officer charges. Cause they love to throw those charges at people as punishment and escalation to create an arrest where there was otherwise no legal basis for one.
The cop clung to the car as the golfer drove ten yards. I’m guessing that is the “assault” against the cop.
The cop is hospitalized, so he may have hurt himself pretty badly.
Sucks to suck. Maybe he should have considered the consequences of his actions prior to doing said actions.
The cop “attached” himself to the vehicle. So he is being charged with assault on a police officer because the cop chose to assault himself rather than just pulling the driver over like a sane person.
The cop was on foot and told the golfer to stop, the golfer didn’t stop. Sounds kinda cut and dry to me.
Yeah pretty cut and dry that that pig deserved anything that happened to him. Poor widdle dipshit had no cruiser? Too fucking bad.
He had no cruiser because it was a crime scene where someone died? I’m just as anti-cop as the next guy but, jesus dude did I hurt your feelings somewhere?
So he just teed off. Fucking wild how quickly he got processed. Almost like there is a warp speed drive for the rich.
It’s not just that he’s rich. It’s that if he didn’t get released, a PGA event wasn’t ever happening in Louisville again. At least in this case police overreach didn’t cause significant harm.
Was the officer Bob Barker?
The price is wrong!!!
The statement from police smells like bullshit to me. espn
You got to watch those golfers…such a violent sport!
What sort of person leaves their 9 day old baby to go play golf? What a douche.
A professional golfer? He’s going to work…
One of the people who can definitely afford to not need to be away after the kid’s born. If you have the opportunity, why not spend the time with them?
I read a bit about him this morning. He’s at the top of his game and has an opportunity to make a ton of money with this major tournament.
As someone who took as much paternity leave as possible I totally understand why he did this.
