How did the police go insane?
They shut down traffic to work a fatal accident, he ignored a detective who told him to stop, something happened that led to the guy getting dragged for 30 feet and sent to the hospital with minor injuries, so they arrested him and from the only video I was able to see they were walking pretty calmly with him during the arrest. Once they realized who he was, they let him out of jail in time to play golf, but he’s still facing some charges.
Am I missing context where something crazy happened? That all sounds pretty straightforward.
(Aside from the conservative person being shocked and appalled that a wealthy golf player with a little white-person smirk on his face is being subjected to the rule of law as if he was one of the poors, that part I can agree is pretty funny.)

I have no idea who this guy is but for the couple of decades that cheap video cameras have existed we’ve seen dozens (hundreds?) of cases where the stated police narrative doesn’t even come close to the captured video. Usually the targets are minorities and they rarely see justice against the police that make up the false narrative.
I give ZERO credibility to the written police narratives. Show me the video that they should have captured from a dozen different car and body cams. Its entirely possible the police description is correct, but I won’t believe word of it without the video to back it up.
This guy has major emotional control issues. I’ve seen him yelling and destroying equipment on live tv on course. ACAB but sometimes so are citizens. Both can be true at the same time. This guy is a fuckin prick.
And yet he’s still getting the entirety of the benefit of the doubt in this situation because it’s still somehow more likely that the police did something wrong. My mind will be changed by video and nothing else.
Cool?
IDK man. I’m having trouble coming up with a scenario where the police just decided out of nowhere “Fuck this PGA vehicle, I hate it now! And will arrest the driver for no reason” when the driver was just following all their instructions exactly and all of a sudden the cops all got angry and it was all very confusing (which was more or less Scheffler’s version.)
I also note that Scheffler and his attorney didn’t say anything that sounded like “nobody got dragged by his vehicle, that part didn’t happen” or anything that directly contradicted what the cops said. He just said that when it happened it was confusing and scary.
I’m happy to wait for the bodycam footage too, though. Presumably we’ll be able to see exactly what happened during the critical events.
I think you’ll find that there are a lot of crazy reasons for the police doing something,
