So far there's no video of what actually happened as far as I know. That means whatever the cops said is almost definitely not the truth.
- Exactly. Especially with resisting arrest or assaulting an officer charges. Cause they love to throw those charges at people as punishment and escalation to create an arrest where there was otherwise no legal basis for one.
  
  The cop clung to the car as the golfer drove ten yards. I’m guessing that is the “assault” against the cop.
- There was an ESPN reporter there who saw it.

The cop "attached" himself to the vehicle. So he is being charged with assault on a police officer because the cop chose to assault himself rather than just pulling the driver over like a sane person.
- The cop was on foot and told the golfer to stop, the golfer didn't stop. Sounds kinda cut and dry to me.
  
  Yeah pretty cut and dry that that pig deserved anything that happened to him. Poor widdle dipshit had no cruiser? Too fucking bad.
- It's not just that he's rich. It's that if he didn't get released, a PGA event wasn't ever happening in Louisville again. At least in this case police overreach didn't cause significant harm.
  
  So it's because he's rich and has even richer friends.
Was the officer Bob Barker?
- The price is wrong!!!!
- I may be against the fur trade, but that won't stop me from skinning you alive!
The statement from police smells like bullshit to me. espn
- 830 partners!, go jump espn
I don't care for rich folk but the cops definitely got over zealous on this. The police are everyone's problem.
You got to watch those golfers...such a violent sport!
What sort of person leaves their 9 day old baby to go play golf? What a douche.
- A professional golfer? He’s going to work…
  
  One of the people who can definitely afford to not need to be away after the kid's born. If you have the opportunity, why not spend the time with them?
