Never in our nation’s history has there been a more worthy & long-overdue contempt resolution than one for Merrick Garland. Kudos credit & praise today goes to @RepJamesComerhttps://t.co/l6RI4ad1JP
Scheffler’s arrest seemed fishy from the start, and now the officers involved are under investigation themselves. Some body camera footage has been released which doesn’t help much to understand what happened. The other footage released, however, doesn’t look good for the arresting officers.
After the arrest, Scheffler posted this to his Instagram:
Detective Bryan Gillis did not turn on his body camera during the incident as required.
The Louisville Metro Police Department detective who arrested golf star Scottie Scheffler last week violated the department’s policies by failing to turn on his body camera during the incident, officials said Thursday.
An internal investigation found that Detective Bryan Gillis did not turn on his body-worn camera during the encounter, LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said in a news conference.
While Scheffler’s public statement on what happened was chalking it up to a simple misunderstanding, the arresting officer’s report … well … painted a different picture.
Gillis stopped Scheffler and attempted to give him instructions, but Scheffler “refused to comply and accelerated forward,” according to the report. Gillis was dragged “to the ground” and suffered “pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist,” according to the report.

Officer Gillis’ statement on the arrest:
“While directing traffic in front of Gate 1 the PGA personnel stopped a bus from entering Gate 1. I observed a vehicle traveling in the opposing lanes coming at me. I stopped the driver and advised him he could not proceed because of the bus. He demanded to be let in, and proceeded forward against my directions. I was dragged/knocked down by the driver. I then proceeded to arrest the driver.”
Until now, because Detective Gillis didn’t turn on his body camera, we didn’t have any proof of his accusations against Scheffler. Now we have footage from a pole camera of the incident. Have a look:
I didn’t see anyone get dragged or knocked down by Scheffler during the incident. It appears Detective Bryan Gillis may not have told the truth in his report. That would certainly explain why there’s an investigation into the officer’s actions that day.
The House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection. Only with Biden, it’s true.

Important to note this affidavit was prepared by an agent out of the hopelessly corrupt Washington FBI field office. I REALLY wish the name was not redacted
