Yeah I just looked it up and I haven’t seen anything at all about him getting released. He’s still in jail as of right now.
I haven't seen his score being updated.

Well hey, it’s a thin blue line and all that, I’m sure Scheffler driving into a golf tournament was a matter of national security. Thin blue line guys. There’s no chance it was some egotistical insecure cop with anger issues trying to exercise his POWAH at all costs. That never happens.

The entire event is suspended at the moment.

This is 1 of 4 major events a year.

Total **** blunder. Useless cop.

Hey man he's lucky he wasn't shot. Driving confused like that he could have been on drugs or something. Wouldn't blame the cop, had to be in fear for his life.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

If that was legal, tourists would get shot several times a day down in Orlando. We're sensitized to it now. It's just an ongoing joke with locals laughing at how tourists drive. No way would we jerk a tourist out of their vehicle and arrest them. We might deescalate the situation and explain to them what they're doing wrong and tell them we understand that they aren't familiar with the area.

I'm kind of surprised he was driving himself at that hour. I mean he must've been, right?

So basically he was driving somewhere he wasn't supposed to because the police were investigating an earlier (fatal) accident is how this all started, am I getting that right?

He was entering the PGA Championship parking lot, and he had a 7:48 tee time. So he was 2.5 hours early. The media and other people were already there. He probably eats breakfast and changes in the locker room before the tournament starts

Why is this green text? The underlined part is all that needs to be green.

The ESPN reporter saw him drive thru a restricted area…apparently he didn’t stop.

lol @ calm Christian. Is that how we justify illegal things now? I’m going to label myself that so I can do whatever I want

Because he wasn't on drugs and the cop presumably wasn't in any danger except for latching himself onto a moving car?

The traffic pattern was changed that morning because of a pedestrian being hit by a bus. Scheffler was unaware of the change, so that was likely the normal way he entered the parking lot. If you've ever participated in a large event, you know that security lets participants in and stops the public. I've participated in lots of large events, and I always go around the crowd.

Please don't make this political. Police officers put their lines on the life every day and a few bad cops shouldn't be used to generalize the whole industry. They're our biggest heroes alongside servicemen (i.e. Tim Kennedy) and don't deserve to be bashed.

Yeah, he probably didn't think the rules applied to him...which is somewhat fair, he should have access others don't. But there was a fatality, changes to the set-up, and probably 100s of rich **** the cop has been dealing with all day thinking they don't need to follow traffic instructions because they have a VIP pass or "park here all the time". Guessing both made mistakes that led to this. Video will show who was more of an **** (or possibly it was a bunch of missed signals - scottie being waved through by one cop and not seeing this cop, but the cop not recognizing him and scottie kept going because he thought the cop was trying to stop someone else). Cop was probably on an ego trip, but no way in hell I want to do traffic duty where someone was killed previously and having to be firm with a bunch of entitled ****.

Not surprising that he got detained, driving around a traffic stop will do that.

I just don't think we know the details. Yeah you go around the crowd if you have a clear pass and the cop is waving you through. If there are new barriers and a cop tells you to stop, you stop...right? Unless someone has seen video and new the layout, pass situation, how the stop went down, and other details its honestly too early to blame either one.

ETA: But he is a calm christian, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Not like he was wearing a turban or a hoodie....

I'm guessing this is how the conversation started as he's trying to make a 7:48 tee time
