    How did the police go insane?

    They shut down traffic to work a fatal accident, he ignored a detective who told him to stop, something happened that led to the guy getting dragged for 30 feet and sent to the hospital with minor injuries, so they arrested him and from the only video I was able to see they were walking pretty calmly with him during the arrest. Once they realized who he was, they let him out of jail in time to play golf, but he’s still facing some charges.

    Am I missing context where something crazy happened? That all sounds pretty straightforward.

    (Aside from the conservative person being shocked and appalled that a wealthy golf player with a little white-person smirk on his face is being subjected to the rule of law as if he was one of the poors, that part I can agree is pretty funny.)

      I have no idea who this guy is but for the couple of decades that cheap video cameras have existed we’ve seen dozens (hundreds?) of cases where the stated police narrative doesn’t even come close to the captured video. Usually the targets are minorities and they rarely see justice against the police that make up the false narrative.

      I give ZERO credibility to the written police narratives. Show me the video that they should have captured from a dozen different car and body cams. Its entirely possible the police description is correct, but I won’t believe word of it without the video to back it up.

        This guy has major emotional control issues. I’ve seen him yelling and destroying equipment on live tv on course. ACAB but sometimes so are citizens. Both can be true at the same time. This guy is a fuckin prick.
