What I see. SS slowly pulls up. Cop runs up. SUV sits there for a while. My take, SS was arguing and arguing with the cop . Bad move. He has the gun, you don’t. Not saying he should have been cuffed, but he should have immediately asked the cop , “officer, where would you like for me to go?” Then, text the PGA of America President and let him know the story. Let him handle it.

This is what the police report says. Direct quote: Detective Gillis was in the middle of the westbound lanes, in full LMPD uniform and a hi-visibility yellow reflective rain jacket, Detective Gillis stopped subject and attempted to give instructions. Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground…

Literally nothing in that report is true except he was in a yellow rain jacket.

What I see in the video (both angles) is Scheffler slowly creeping up. I don’t ever see him stop and then accelerate as alleged.

Looks like Scheffler is driving through slowly with like 15 other cops standing around. It looks like the one cop that walks up to the back of his car while Gillis is beating on the window also looks confused. He was damn near waving Scheffler in until Gillis runs up like a psychopath.

It was raining and Scheffler’s window was up. Gillis didn’t stop him and tell him to do something else and Scheffler accelerated as represented in the report. Gillis makes it sound like there was a conversation that Schedfler purposefully ignored.

At best, Gillis was trying to motion directions at Scheffler that were not seen by Scheffler because he was probably looking at one of the other 15 cops out there. Gillis completely overreacts. You can see a glimpse of Scheffler jump/react in his car out of surprise when Gillis bangs on the window. He probably had no idea this psycho was even there up until then.
