Allen's lawyer claims that his client's rights were violated when he was put in extreme restraints after being stopped for a crime. The lawyer argues that the restraints were not necessary for safety reasons but as a punishment for the crime.
told CNN that ballistics “showed the agent’s protective vest contained a buckshot pellet from the Mossberg pump action shotgun Allen allegedly carried on the night of the shooting.
”stormingare they skipping the ” attempted murder of a federal officer with a deadly weapon ” as it requires the proof of intent ? –whereas the assault charge is a slam dunk ?
attempting to assassinate the President of the United States, assaulting an officer or employee of the United States with a deadly weapon, transporting a firearm across state lines with the intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence — is the 2026 equivalent of asking, “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? ”Allen already did all of those things.
We can all agree that he was not arrested at the scene on a whim. At a trial, the presumption of innocence is an evidentiary burden to be rebutted. And the fact is that he does have rights, and if what his lawyer told the magistrate was true then those rights were violated. The fact that he expected not to survive his crime doesn’t mean he’s a suicide risk now that he was stopped.
Being willing to give ones life for a cause doesn’t make one suicidal. So it appears, from the little that was reported, that he was put in extreme restraints not out of a genuine concern for his safety but as a punishment for what he did, and that’s wrong. It’s not up to the Bureau of Prisons to invent punishments for prisoners for the crimes they’re accused of, or even for the ones they’ve been convicted of.
It should only be punishing prisoners for offenses committed in its custody, breaches of its rules. If true he deserved the apology.
