It's nothing special sure, but it seems to always produce drama. It's shaping up to an entertaining Sunday.

shockingly the incompetent police either did not have bodycam turned on or threw the footage away after they knew it made them look bad. Guess its going to be Scottie's word vs the word of some moron who decided to get in a wrestling match with a moving vehicle, pretty easy choice of who to believe.

Gonna need that cop to arrest Morikawa and Xander sometime between now and tomorrow. Maybe they won't take a day for it to actually affect them.

It seems to me, without having a clue what happened, that the department went all in.

Which, until shown otherwise, leads me to believe they are confident that Scheffler's actions were both illegal and dangerous.

PS. Just because he a nice guy, that doesn't mean that the almost automatic sense of entitlement that comes with the whole elite, high paid athlete thing don't exist in his mind as well.

this is the same police department who murdered an innocent woman (Breonna Taylor) in her sleep, covered it up, paid out a $12M lawsuit, got investigated by the DOJ, found guilty of excessive force, unlawful searches and numerous other civil rights violations. its far from a stretch to think they would rather double down and drum up bullshit charges than admit they were in the wrong. Scottie is the one who gets the benefit of the doubt here until there is bodycam footage proving otherwise.
If only the law worked that way.

"Your honor, my client was charged by a police force that is known to have corrupt elements. We'd like a dismissal of all charges please..."

As I said, (I could very well be wrong), the top brass had to know about the spotlight they were under after realizing who they cuffed and brought to the station. Someone up the chain decided not to go the "misunderstanding" route, or even the "person involved has been released but charges may still be pending" route. But no, they charged him, and pretty substantially.

So what now? Are they going to walk back and say he was wrongly cited on every charge ?

My guess is there won't be a trial, and there will be some agreement with maximum face saving on both sides. As in, Scotty admits he inadvertently did something wrong, and some of the more serious charges have been dropped, and he will do some community service blah blah..end of story.

Scotty has been consistently using "inadvertent" when talking about the "confusing" and "chaotic" situation....

cops are well known for doubling and tripling down when they are in the wrong, this is not a new phenomenon. They suffer zero personal consequences for exaggerating, misrepresenting or straight up lying about what happened so there is no incentive for them to ever do anything else besides double down.

well the public opinion seems to be about 95% on the side of Scottie and 5% on the side of the police so there is only one side who is trying to save face here and that is the police who have already cost their city tens if not hundreds of millions in revenue by never getting to host a major championship again. My guess is that all charges will be dropped in exchange for Scottie promising not to sue the city. Guess we'll find out in 2 days.

I guess I'll do great betting against Scheffler. I took him over today and he needs 66 to beat me, bogeys first hole and is romping toward 66 or 65 I guess.

I've predicted he won't have longevity on some kind of wild intuition, but he acts like a GOAT candidate. Automatic sick rounds and shots, like a robot. Not sure I've seen a robot like this. Hmm. Tiger was obviously greater but was all over the place not this kind of automatic machine.
