Yeah, this one Another cop goes "he's going to jail and there's nothing you can do about it. Period." shit like this is why people hate cops.

People saying things like you've said here are why "blue lives matter" people don't take people that want police reform seriously. There was nothing about what that particular cop said or did that was a "bad cop." He did not threaten the reporter, he did not attack the reporter, he said that this is happening, you can't change it, do you have any questions I can answer. And all of those after another cop had asked the reporter to stop and he continued following them. Remember that cop in 2020 that, without a word, just stepped out of the darkness and started shooting at a reporter and her cameraman? That is the kind of cop that makes people hate cops. This guy only had de-escalation on his mind and I think he nailed it. Maybe in another situation he might be the kind of cop that needs negative attention. In this case, in this video, he did a good job.

There’s nothing wrong with what the cop in that video you shared did. The original cop that arrested Scheffler absolutely needs to be disciplined. This one, however, is speaking in a clear and calm voice and mostly just directing spectators away from the scene. That’s actually what de-escalation looks like. Nothing he does is inflammatory or aggressive at all.

I didn't say the cop he ran over was at fault, I actually didn't say any cop was at fault. I said people hate cops because of ones like the cop having a superiority complex against the reporter trying to ask a question is the one being an asshole. Maybe if your brain wasn't so rotted from this app you'd have better reading comprehension

Edit: you've made 30 comments within the span of an hour attacking Scottie and defending cops so you're either miserable, stupid or a troll and not worth arguing with. Have a nice day

“Attacking Scottie” gives “Leave Brittany alone” energy. Nobody is attacking your favorite golfer. He made a very poor decision and was arrested for it.

He drove around the cop that was directing traffic at a fatal accident

Charges got dropped today, do you feel like a dumbass yet for defending shitty, power-hungry cops?
