No body cam video of Scheffler’s arrest at Louisville’s Valhalla Golf Club is suspicious

Mayor Craig Greenberg gave a breakdown of the Scottie Scheffler arrest at the PGA tournament and it was very confusing to say the least, he said he wasn’t sure if the detective was wearing a body cam or just didn’t have it turned on. I thought the chief of police answered to the mayor and you would think the mayor would consult with the chief before making any comments.

It is very suspicious that it appears when there is a he-said-they-said incident, the body cam wasn’t turned on. The body cams the police department were furnished by the tax payers were very expensive and they were furnished for a purpose, and if the officer had his body cam turned on the citizens of Louisville wouldn’t be wondering who is right and who is wrong. Maybe if the Louisville Metro Police Department had a policy of two days off without pay if they didn’t have their body cams on they wouldn’t forget.

Scheffler’s arrest isn’t surprising. Look at Louisville Metro Police Department’s history.

Valhalla or Va-ha-ha?

Looks like every time Louisville tries to portray itself as that "World Class City" we always hear about, we blow it. Golf course? How about using the land for a tow in lot and affordable housing?

I know the answer to that. Not in my backyard!

Now no body cam footage?

What kind of cop grabs onto a car to get a supposed suspect? It’s a power hungry one. Then, they charge the driver with a felony. The cops clearly didn’t have control of the situation, just total incompetence. The cop didn’t have his body cam on as required by LMPD policy, so he can make up any story he wants. He needs to be fired, pronto. I’m staying out of Louisville.
