I remember getting yelled at by a cop directing traffic telling me to turn left while I was in the outside lane of a double left hand turn lane while he was standing in the middle of the lane per the lane markers in the intersection. I encroached on the lane to the left, but wanted to yell back at him to get out of the lane, but thought better of it.

Actually their importance is undervalued considering how much money the pga brings in for this event. Considering he is #1 in the world it’d be similar to the cops arresting Jordan before the slam dunk contest and screwing over the city hosting the event.

They probably won’t run pga in this city again now. That’s millions of dollars they’re going to lose out on

TSA agents are probably the worst that I can think of.

I just wanted to follow up that apparently this event brings $80 MILLION to Louisville. So yeah…

Even if Scheffler had been egregiously in the wrong with his driving, attaching yourself to a moving vehicle and then pulling the driver out of the car, isn't really de-escalating the situation imho.

Scheffler pulled it together and moved up to 4th on the leaderboard. He missed a couple of easy puts.

It's still just a game. Someone died in that traffic.

Pretty sure if Scottie Scheffler disappeared tomorrow the PGA and the sport of golf would continue on just fine as if nothing happened.
Scheffler benefits from the popularity of golf, he isn't the reason for it.

Hey, at least the cop did not shoot the guy fifteen times in the back in self defence.

That has to be some kind of success story for the local police.

As many thought, looks like the cop lied
