That is a profoundly ignorant thing to say.
Do you know why people are no longer saying the arresting Officers injured him? That is becasue the information has changed.
We have been given the information. The arguments are based on that information.
Your failure to understand that is your problem.
Just like in the following.
Actually no. He did not clearly say. He insinuates that he didn't.
At no point in the below quote did he make any declarative statement about what he said.
“And they trying to make it seem like I told them that, I made it like Freddie Gray did that to hisself (sic),” Allen said. “Why the [expletive] would he do that to hisself (sic)?”
Whether he was being deceitful at this point remains to be seen, but the manner in which he said the above is a way of being deceitful without actually lying.
And he already stated the reason he is doing this is because of fear.
“I had two options today right, either come and talk to y’all and get my credibility straight with ya’ll and not get killed by these [expletive] or not tell a true story,” Allen added. “The only reason I’m doing this is because they put my name in a bad state.”
And you are wrong. We have the information about what he said.
It was confirmed to be contained on an affidavit for a search warrant. That is a conclusion that was provided to us from the mouth of an ear witness.
Not becasue people "hope" it to be true.
Reality.
What we have is conflicting information.
Either the Police are lying about he said, or he is.
As his statement was taken at the very beginning prior to any uprising there doesn't appear to be any reason for either party to have lied at that point.
Does reason exist now? Yes it does.
