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.
The cop is hospitalized, so he may have hurt himself pretty badly.
Sucks to suck. Maybe he should have considered the consequences of his actions prior to doing said actions.
Maybe the millionaire golfer could've done the same?
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.
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!
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!
