As best I can tell, in your opinion, you don’t think he would have made that move.
“As best I can tell, in your opinion, you don’t think he would have made that move.”
I don’t know what he would have done or not, but it sounds highly fishy to me. First, the officer tells one story, then he changes it and say the guy was trying to flee out some rear exit (that doesn’t exist). If he were not a policeman, the changing story alone would be enough to impeach his credibility. Add to that the fact that his second story seems downright implausible, and I have a hard time giving much weight to his account.
That’s just one thing out of several that make me lean towards believing the suspect is being more truthful. I say more truthful, because he admittedly did some things that call his credibility into question as well, so I kind of doubt either side is telling the whole truth here.
