This also had the effect of substantially lightening his complexion. They then put the altered mugshot in a photo array. The tellers picked out Mr. Allen. He was arrested and charged.
A court is now deciding whether what the police did is constitutional. https://twitter.com/DrRJKavanagh/status/1162594772437147648?s=17
Ā
Think on thatā¦.
They were so determined to put this man in jail that the physically altered his appearance so as to get āID Confirmation ā.
I am not saying that the man is innocent. That he didnāt commit previous crimes. But, HE DIDNāT COMMIT THESE CRIMES.
But, law enforcement decided that he should go to jail, so they attempted to frame him. Yes, I believe this is a frameup.
And, as was further put:
Rebecca J. Kavanagh (@DrRJKavanagh) Tweeted:
This is great but your client usually sits in jail until the hearing, which could be 6 months or a year later and so the issue is never litigated because they want to be free and a prosecutor offers a plea that will get them out of jail so they plead even if they are not guilty. https://twitter.com/DrRJKavanagh/status/1162757741733171202?s=17
They will offer a pleaā¦..even if they are not guilty.š š š
Something is wrong, and every person in the law enforcement chain that went along with this attempted framing should be fired and then arrested themselves.
And, just donāt think that it only happens with adults:

Can I borrow him for a few days, pretty please? My brother that lived with me until he passed would cook the same way your brother cooks. In fact, when he was alive, I could barely get in my own kitchen to cook anything. I think about him everyday. We had a plan to buy some property out in the country and continue living together after I retired, but sadly, we didnāt get to fulfill our dream. He wanted to establish a safe place where kids could come and play sports and learn a variety of things, including computer programming.
Majiir I hardly cook anymore. I just let him have the kitchen. I stay out of the way. Heās suppose to cook roasted chicken today. His roasted chicken is so delicious.

This reminds me of the time I worked for Sears. The branch decided to send some of us to a class on how to become department managers. There were about 10 of us in the group. We had to take a test to pass the course. Well, I was the only one in the group who passed the test. Everyone in the d@mn store was surprised, and some began to question whether Iād cheated to pass. Why? Because Iām a black female, and in their minds, weāre not supposed to be able to master information that white males canāt master. I never took a certification test more than once! Some folks need to stop with the stereotyping. Because of my mom, I could read before I started school. My parents encouraged my voracious reading habit by ordering books and magazines for me while I was growing up. I read everything from Nancy Drew to Redbook to Readers Digest. I remember my mom making a surprise bed check one night. She caught me reading a book under the sheets while using a flashlight. She didnāt fuss at me, she just told me to turn off the flashlight and go to sleep. LOL.
