Considering there isn’t likely to be additional video, I’ve seen enough to conclude that most charitably, the report misrepresented the facts. 
 

But more accurately and bluntly, they lied. 

You just can’t make this stuff up with LMPD…

 

Ouch on the donut thing.  He is lucky he only got five days for that.  Some places would fire you for that one.

I am sure all the workers that witnessed the event were essentially required to give a statement.  I would love to read those statements.

There were also multiple busses full of people. Someone surely saw him get dragged.

Is this for real? I've never seen a progressive discipline structure that involves five rounds of suspensions. What happened to the good ole American oral, written, suspension, demotion, and/or discharge?

It is only speculation on my part but I feel very safe in assuming he would have been fired a couple of times over where I worked.

To me that means he was loading up the charges with each stop but still, that is a lot.

He probably should have been.

That’s what I wondered, but yeah it still seems like a lot.

LMPD does not operate under any normal circumstances.

I agree there should be plenty of witnesses or partial witnesses.  We all also need to be precise, the post arrest complaint says:

Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground.

==============

So in other words, Detective Gillis was dragged down to the ground vs. being dragged.  Or put another way, Detective Gillis was probably hanging onto the vehicle and was knocked down/fell down as Scheffler accelerated forward.
