Jeff Darlington details Scottie Scheffler's arrest and release at PGA Championship | First Take 

Right?! They truly can be the worse sometimes

😂When have they ever heavily covered pga during the nba playoffs....NEVER EVER there's a reason for that

Because nobody cares about the pga😂

Only time they like to talk outside of football and basketball is when controversy happens. Ex. MLB and Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal

@@noso90 We get more MLB talk from Pat McAfee than the entirety of ESPN lmao

He was in the sense that he's a journalist engaged in Consitutionally protected activities. This is more evidence that those cops are way out of control and willing to violate anyone's rights.

He wanted to be part of the story so badly. He needs to pick up his notepad and get back to work.

@@Zenigundamthat was his work that he was doing. You must be a boomer the way that you think journalism can’t be recorded these days

YES! That is the big story here - cops not being bad (i didn't see video of them pulling Scottie out of the car, but they were walking him in cuffs very nicely, nothing wrong there) BUT STILL HARASSING the folks videoing them.

He was like Willy Wonka trying to stop the bad children from making a fatal error. As expected, the bad children kept making bad decisions. Small men with egos much larger than their worth.

Cancel everyone and everything!!!!!!!

Do you find this amusing or entertaining the fact of the matter is another white privilege sports figure ignored police direction almost killing someone during a situation where someone lost their life this punk has no respect and no good judgment he should be kicked off the two are not allowed to play I'm glad my children don't watch golf

Y’all don’t even realize what happened. A pedestrian life was lost. Cops blacked the way as they cleared the street. But this white golfer tried to go the wrong direction anyway. I hope he gets prison time. Anyone else that would have done that to a cop gets shot, tased and beaten down. Meanwhile in KKK land y’all let him out because he plays golf? Dafudge!

Maybe his was protecting those in the crime scene.

I've seen them do this before. It's stupid af. It's like they think they're Captain America, and they'll will the car to stop

Are you stupid or ignorant or both?

Got a mugshot and everything lol…we know why that word was used.

Could that cop have sounded any more southern, country , uneducated or ignorant ?

Police are backstroking now! Bad mistake!

@@AboveAvgMan just say you are racist.

Same thing. You are playing semantics.

Mlmfao

This is kind of a joke. You’re media. Stay out of the way of the police.

When they say "stay back", they mean STOP WALKING

@@BradandBrittShowUnlawful order, no need to comply.

@austindouglas9513 What are you talking about?!? The medias job is to report on the police. You want them just to go away and then trust what they say afterward? How you think that’s going to work out for everyone? If there is any moral to this story, it’s that this dumb fucker jumped on a moving car. Wish they’d videoed that

I agree ……this cop that claims all this dragging him 10 feet stuff……better hope what he is telling everyone is true……..if the footage comes out and he is telling a bs story ( as cops usually do) he will be working security at Walmart. I’m placing my bet on the cop got his Superman ego hurt and wanted to show everyone how in charge he was. Smh

Looking very much like another Bs story, and, what do you know?!? His body camera was turned off

There are definitely not any saints with a badge out there 😂😂

@@user-se7hf3vm3vyou are all knowing, teach me your ways!

Turns out you’re right. The officer has had issues in the past. Agree that Sheffler handled himself in an exemplary fashion.

If Scottie is a big liberal and Biden lover like Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky is then he might get a pardon.

Also said 20 yards. I was thinking next it's going to be 50 yards, then a whole football field..smh

Like any of the rest of us would have known the exact yardage.... seriously, give the guy a break.

Not crazy at all because the numbers are really close. Just sounds like there's a little uncertainty and the more you think about it, you might change your estimate.

I’d bet dollars to donuts you couldn’t tell the difference if you knew before hand you’d be asked.

@@ChristopherLoupe-hh6bj I think y’all are missing the point a bit here. My comment was a critique on the media’s willingness to sensationalize a story. The difference between saying 10 yards and then 20 yards is ridiculous given the context of dragging a person who’s hanging onto your car. If you say ten yards, it can be understood as an oopsie. When you say 20 yards, now it puts the driver’s intent into serious question. So why even state a distance? Especially if, as you guys have pointed out, you are unable to be factual in stating the actual distance? Well because that’s what the media does to get clicks. This situation was a unique opportunity to see in real time how the espn guy’s original statement via his memo recorded basically right after it happened and how it evolved from each new iteration of the story by all of the various media outlets reporting on it.

Think what he’s trying to say without saying; he didn’t know it was a cop, he probably thought it was a fan or media or something. If he knew it was a cop, he would have stopped, cause he thought it was something or someone else he wasn’t stopping for them

Well now we have the other footage and learn that none of the officer's story nor this reporters is backed up. The officer wasn't dragged, didn't do any of the things he claimed happened. Bogus reporting and bogus police report.

This turned out to be a stupid comment

Felony??? For what, going over the median and not stopping in a very gloomy rainy weather when the cop was attaching his hand on the vehicle and probably tapping on it too, in which he stopped after 20 ft????????? This is the same situation when you get pulled over on the road and the cop says, "why didn't you immediately stop? What took you so long???" When in reality, you were just trying find a safe place to stop or a lighted area (preferably with surveillance such as a gas station. Never pull over in a dark area where there is no lighting).

@@chriskramp5174 He dragged the cop with his car and he went to the hospital.

@@PianoUniversethank you lol mfs slow! He should of stopped period

@@PianoUniversewhen did Darlington say he got dragged? He said the guy latched on to the side of the car. It’s the police saying that officer was “dragged and injured”. Obviously the only way to know for sure is to see video but if I had to bet my money is on the police making up a story because they realized who they arrested and now they are trying to cover their a$$. I mean you know you’re reaching when the police report says the “officers pants were damaged beyond repair” 😂

@@PianoUniverse The injured cop already pressed charges against him. He got charged for assault in the second degree of an officer. The officer will likely sue him for further damages mentally and physically!!!! Let's hope Scheffler wins the tournament, he gonna need the bag

Back the Blue?

No cop is getting terminated Scotty needs to learn how to listen to law enforcement.

@@miketeare8254obviously he didn’t identify him as law enforcement in the moment

police don't get terminated for doing their jobs. And what does the hosting club have to do with this?

@@Tarntydon22 😂 a police officer in a police uniform around police cars has to identify themselves. I swear people on RU-vid have no common sense. 😂

It’s Ghetto

Then move

Didn't age well did it.

What's the misunderstanding the fact of the matter is another white privileged athlete ignored police direction barreling through a traffic control device where a tragedy took place almost killing a police officer he shouldn't be allowed to play I'm glad my children don't watch golf

This is unbelievably ridiculous.

Right dumb and shouldn't never happened

More like the golfer is dumb 😂 thinking he’s above the law, hope they throw the book at him, what a bafoon

Agreed, drop the charges and move on. Play ball.

so you drag a law enforcement agent with your car? I have never been confused by directions of an officer, I'm sorry to hear you don't understand English.

why didn't scottie just comply?! Back the blue!!!

“Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report states. The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment, the report states.

@@psulionz87 “Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report states.

He should have known that emotions would be high then he acts like a tool...

Defund the Police

They won’t he white

Of course a guy named Rakim would say this. Perpetual victim mentality

You poor entitled baby.How stupid

You're a racist waste of life, of course you'd find ways to justify breaking the law ​@@tileavenue

@@tileavenueof course an entitled guy named tile would say this

The PGA Championship is at Valhalla. The major reason the traffic is the way it was, was because of the freaking golf tournament. His car had the PGA credentials. Stop the nonsense. The cop was overzealous. He knows it. You know it.

why didn't scottie just comply?! Back the blue!!!

The reporter didn’t seem to be the most eloquent with words. I think most people would add the context of how big of a person Scottie actually is if in his position. Same goes for Scottie. If they both actually did do that much and the police officers still decided to arrest him then it’s 100% on them for being the laughing stock of the US atm

Bet they would've known who David Duke was... Just say'in

Why should it matter who he is? It sounds like people are arguing for having different rules for different people. That being said, this sounds like a huge overreaction by the police and something that shouldn't have been settled with someone going to jail - no matter who he might be...

always family saying their relative cop is such a great person. whens the last time he arrested another cop? never. exactly.

He dragged the cop with his car and he went to the hospital.

​@@PianoUniverse😂😂😂

I live in Minneapolis; a few years ago an Australian woman was gunned down by a dumb as rocks Somali cop who killed her from inside the cop car. Shot her in the guts. Her crime? Approaching a cop car with her lingerie on. The idiot cops “ panicked” at the sight of her and killed her. In a beautiful neighborhood with million dollar houses a block or two away.

@@PianoUniverse of course he went to the hospital. He has to play up his “injuries” as much as possible so he can play the victim.

Can we give it some time ? You will see him guilty as sin pretty soon pal

@jiggyv6139 I don’t know if you have followed this at all, but you are probably going to be highly disappointed if you think that’s what’s about to happen.

@@ChristopherLoupe-hh6bj nope you don’t get to disrespect the law based on your status or color of ya skin. CASE CLOSED. OVERRULED 🤣

In the darkness of night, could it be reasonable to assume Schefler couldn't tell that scene and police presence were because of accident and not PGA-related?

Scheffler was told to stop. HE refused to stop. That is whyt he cfop attached himself to the car. Being the "star of the show" doesn't give him a frees pass to disregard an officer's command.

@@gloriarivera108 Doesn't matter. The cops were wearing bright yellow jackets and were clearly marked as cops. Scheffler was told to stop, he should have stopped. What happened with a previous coop is irrelevant.

You are so right!!!​@@chriskay1449

Because if he’d just fled the scene like rashee rice the charges would have been dropped

Because he's not resisting.

Race.

@@RealTomHanxgood point tom hanx

@cdl75 Cops often say "stop resisting" even when the person being arrested isn't. It's an automatic response to justify escalation. It's very much a bad apples situation but the bar clearly needs to be raised.

Nice to see some triple digit Iq folks in the comment section 🙌

He drove past a police barrier because he thinks he’s special. Why does he get to break the rules.

@@mrbarahona78cus he’s rich

He literally drove with an officer on his car

@@mrbarahona78no. He thought they were security guards not policemen. It’s common practice in that world to just ignore the security guards for the golfers walking to warm up. He thought it was a security guard.

​​​@@JohnnyTsunami566stop excusing athletes for everything they do, people like you just give them bigger egos

Just follow orders right

He had his uniform on, didn't you see it when he unbuttoned his rain jacket? Not defending the cops, there was no need for them to act like that 💯🤮🤮🤮

Bootlicker ​@@thenoseknows9391

Just comply right!! I’ve heard that before !! Then to have the ESPN analyst kinda side with the Golfer who should have stopped !!!

Common sense would suggest with 20 plus police cars with their lights on, a new police barricade up and someone in a yellow safety vest telling you to stop.... Just roll your window down tell him who you are and they'll get it figured out. Stop with ridiculous excuses that he didn't know it was a cop. Who did he think it was a drug dealer, a car jacker, a fan trying to get his autograph?? He drove into a fatal accident investigation, not even the number one player in golf can do that, it's called common sense

I feel sorry for your husband.

Boycott them for what? He didn’t follow the officers orders isn’t that what yall always stand on?

Agree. F Kentucky.

Another example of white privilege sports athletes disrespecting our law enforcement officials while they're trying to do their job or a tragedy took place I'm glad my children don't watch golf

He dragged the cop with his car and he went to the hospital.

The PGA Championship will be played at Quail Hollow next year , , ,

Agreed, never again

Agree

Louisville does seem to have a cop problem

Someone was just killed by a vehicle, he was in a vehicle and did not follow police instructions. Why does a golfer deserve preferential treatment while police are conducting a death investigation? It's the South and police are usually a certain way there.

It was like a wife seeing their husband get arrested.

Exactly. They said players and media can go thru then there's a bus in the meaning you have to go around but genius cop jumps on car that clearly reads PGA PLAYER on it for a " I didn't want you to go that way I wanted you to go that way"

Or Pulled Over.

@@joshnkegbe1984or not jump on the vehicle you copper

To sensible😂

Yeah that was dumb. It's dumb when they do it for a drug dealer trying to escape its unbelievably dumb for a guy you TOLD to go through but he went a different way than you wanted him to

You're interpreting that because Scottie is white

Cop wasnt in uniform

That’s it now trying to play victim

But if you didn’t realize he was a police officer because he already passed the accident in the scene. Somebody starts beating on your window on the side of the road at night and you don’t know exactly if it’s an officer or not you’re just gonna stop and comply that’s when you get carjack.

​@shadowmanmc1130 he knew it was a cop. Charge him now

@@shadowmanmc1130 Lot of carjackings in front of that golf course with all the police there?

Me and millions of others had never heared of scotty until today. Marketers take note !@

He'll be embarrassed at unemployment and civil court too 🤣😂🤣

How about you stop driving when a cop tells you to and also when he’s on top of your car smh

Paul Blart Mall Cop

stupid scottie. If you don't comply, you go to jail it's pretty simple. Kind of like you, simpleton.

why didn't scottie just comply?! Back the blue!!!

nah, but the DA will drop the charges because Scottie got money

No cops loosing their job this is all on scottie sheffler and only scottie sheffler

​@@Stl.Cardinalslmao nothing will come of this what so ever.

@@Stl.Cardinals Lets start with, his name is Scheffler not sheffler. Second, after listening to this you still don't get that this was nothing but a misunderstanding on Scotties part and the over aggressiveness on the cops part.

It's funny at least 2 here don't understand what the ultra rich and their attorneys can do vs what the avg black family and their attorneys can do..... If the latter can get them fired, arrested and sued, that department and cop is in due a WORLD of hurt. BIG TIME

Gotta love how they throw a bunch of ridiculous charges at people so that they have to plea bargain out of a douchebag cop lawsuit.

You've seen video of them giving the wrong directions?

@TheOnlyCoop And what’s your interpretation? Scottie Sheffler just decided to break the law all of a sudden out of the blue? Have you seen video of that?

@@ChristopherLoupe-hh6bj my interpretation is he thought they were just rent-a-cops and he could just ignore them . He didn't realize they were actual cops until it was too late.

At 15 mph,. a car travels 15 yards in 2 seconds. How long does it take to realize that a jackass has jumped on your car and bring your car to a stop? At 15 mph, a car travels 7 yards to come to a stop -- so to travel the 8 other yards takes 1 second. SO Scheffler had 1 second to realize someone had suddenly jumped on the passenger side of his car in the dark and rain before hitting the brakes. WOW -- what a criminal

He broke the law. Marked vehicle gives you a pass? No way. It is a terrible situation but maybe just waiting a few minutes may have been a good idea for Scottie.

​@@ST-ku5niHe didn't break any law. Just the ego of a diversity hire showing out to his cop buddies.

It's not like it is a marked car or other emergency responder.

​@ST-ku5ni maybe you should have listened

A cop yelled something at a car in the dark and rain from the passenger side of the car with the windows raised and the car continued driving slowly down the median when he was instructed to drive when said cop suddenly jumped on the side of his car -- and Scheffler disobeyed a cop? Wouldn't you have to first establish that Scheffler (or any sane person) understood what this jackass cop wanted him to do?

@@mikemontana3443 The cop puts his life on the line everyday and because some golfer gets inconvenienced the cop is the jackass.. you are anti cop..

It does matter cuz he was supposed to be there

it absolutely does because he was driving in a lane he was supposed to be in specifically to bypass traffic.

@@TheLateSkeptic- Not if he was told to stop by a police officer as the bus involved in the accident was allegedly in the lane he was "supposed to be in". He can say that he didn't know it was a police officer, but if they all were wearing yellow reflecive vests, it's difficult to believe that he was unaware.

@@troystahmann8659 - That doesn't give him the authority to disobey an order (allegedly) to stop by a police officer who is part of working to investigate an accident scene.

It does matter because the trigger happy cop told players and media can go through duh

Now u see how black ppl feel everyday 😂

Same for the cop. How could Scheffler, in the dark, under the rain, in the middle of a messy scene, know that the one guy was a cop?? The cop may as well have played « do you know who I am… in anonymous clothes » !!!!

exactly!

Sounds like two entitled egos colliding. That being said, the police officer clearly escalated the situation in an overly dramatic fashion.

Thats the lie losers like to tell themselves. Let me tell you a secret, it really does matter who you are. You aint flying on private jets, marrying super hot blondes , driving a chrysler 300 just because . You better get up early and make real money if you want to matter

Let me help paint a better picture for you. Imagine a fatal death happens in a school zone. Police stopped all traffic in this school zone. And one entitled prick thought he was above the basic logic of traffic laws especially when it involves a fatality, goes into a the meridian gets apprehended by an individual. Disobeyed their commands, drags them 20 feet to get no where. Then says it was a misunderstanding. Lmao!

why didn't scottie just comply?! Back the blue!!!

​@psulionz87 comply with who? The officers that told him to drive around the scene or the one that told him to stop

@@shorelyfe521 And then when he stops, the cop who told him to drive arrests him. The solution is for the PGA to never schedule any events in Kentucky -- the land of the ignorant

Pauliep, Boy is you stupid 🤦‍♂️ I'm pretty sure that the police were not standing there without their Police vehicles near by. Like very near. & He even said that he passed a accident involving a dead pedestrian right before he was stopped buy the guys wearing bright yellow vest.... Even a dummy would have put 2 & 2 together

How??!!

a cop that was not in uniform.

Exactly and he thought the cop was just a rent-a-cop.

It depends where your at and who it is, I think. After watching a TON of body cam footage on RU-vid, you start to feel more sympathy for cops. But you ain’t wrong in some areas.

Obey the law . He's a THUG 😅😅

Dude didn’t listen to cops securing a crime scene

Very embarrassing police reaction from my hometown. Mayor, Governor etc better be apologizing big time!

Totally agree. Seems like a brilliant example of police incompetence and overreacting.

Yeah, until someone kicks your door in at 3:00 am with gun in hand. While you’re in your locked bathroom screaming, the police will be coming thur the front door to your defense. Wait until the body cams footage comes out before you judge people!!!

Race hustler. Keep it up.

In what way? The dude got charged with felonies. Did you not see the Black officer?

What are you talking about it would be different?

That a boy add racism to it.. good grief

How so?explain.

Equally stupidly.

It’s also a fact that 15 yards in a car is 1-2 seconds at school zone speeds. You’d hit that distance before you even realized some clown was holding onto your car.

Fact is you can't jump onto a moving motor vehicle.

@@tellucas You jump on the SIDE of a car to keep from being ran over? How does that work? Perhaps you could just step a half foot backwards?

what are you trying to say?

How would it have been??

Yeah if he was black he would be fried fish 🎣 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm assuming your talking about race? Cause if so, that's crazyyyy. You're what's wrong with the world.

We all know a white dude would not have never been arrested for this. Oh wait.

only on the back

It's a sport network not CNN or FOX

Unless you don’t have a clue it’s a cop… like some guy wearing a basic yellow vest with no distinctive sign, and who doesn’t clearly state his position as a police officer in the first place…

What’s more unusual is you actually think 15 yards (1-2 seconds in a car) is enough time to process fully that some moron is holding onto your car.

@@Micloren I wrote the same thing on another post. Originally, they said 10 yds which is only 30 ft. That is the depth of my house and I don't consider that very far. You have to give the driver a few seconds of reaction time which would put him at 30 ft. for sure. A car can travel a lot in a few seconds. The cop caused this himself. Who latches on to a car like that?

Yes! Thank you!!!

Im glad martin luther king , george washington , general lee didnt always comply
