So this cop charges a guy with felony assault for rolling over a foot uninjured enough to run after a golf cart, resisting arrest for defending himself from an assailant who attacked from behind, DWI for driving an offroad vehicle on private property, and delaying an officer for not stopping his cart when one a-hole in a crowd of people yells stop.

I really wish there was a way to punish these power tripping jack boots but it seems like the judge and prosecutor involved are just a gung-ho as this rambo wannabe cop. I guess it’s easy when it’s not their lives and money on the line.

“Ryan Ashley Goodin” So he's a generation Y, most likely spoiled rotten and used to mommy and daddy(if there is one) bowing to his every wish.

Probably was dumped in day care at 6 weeks and is really unable to relate to anyone so he throws a tantrum.

Why? The patrolmen would love to make a few court trips. Easy work and they get paid overtime.

If the cop was able to chase him down his foot

wasnt hurt very bad.

Sounds like the cop just felt dissed.

Best to treat `em like gangstas..keep away from `em

If driving a golf cart drunk is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Balls on golf courses naturally lead to all sorts of hilarious situations.

Lineberry is accused of hitting Trooper Ryan A. Goodin, who was treated at a
medical trailer for a minor leg injury. Goodin had instructed Lineberry to
stop before he was hit, according to multiple media reports. Lineberry was
driving the cart for NBC Sports analyst Roger Maltbie, according to news reports.

Goodin, who is assigned to the Statesville office, is one of approximately 170
state troopers assisting with security during the U.S. Open Championships.

“The highway patrol has no authority to arrest a man fore “DWI” for driving an off road vehicle on a golf course.”

Oh, you might be surprised as to what authority the cop has. I researched it once (for fun, never had a problem myself, fortunately) - the term is “Operational Control” of a motorized vehicle. And, believe it or not, a man working on his car, IN HIS DRIVEWAY, ON BLOCKS, was given a DUI when the neighbor called the cops because his music was too loud.

Now a lawyer probably got the guy off of that charge (don’t know)...but the laws are SO LOOSE that the cop got his wish - still making a mess of the guy’s life and leaving him with some SERIOUS legal bills.

...and it was not a one-off.

Expect the trooper to retire eventually with disability benefits.

That entire list read moe like, “I’m pissed off over an accident, and im going to get you for anything and everything.”

But let the pig make a mistake and piglets everywhere wilk demand we understand he is only human. Cops are nothing but two-faced thugs.
