Bobby Hargis (motorcycle policeman on the left rear fender of the Presiden- tial limousine), November 23, 1963: ?As the President straightened back up, Mrs. Kennedy turned toward him, and that was when he got hit in the side of the head, spinning it around. I was splattered with blood. Then I felt something hit me. It could have been concrete or something, but I thought at first I might have been hit.? [Daily News report].
Hargis never used the phrase "Hit with force" but he did say it felt like concrete and considered that he may have been "hit". Obviously he was hit with enough force to consider the possibility that he had been shot.
Did Hargis say anything--ever at any time--about seeing the back of the president's head being blown off.
No. He described in one interview that he saw a spray come out of the right side of his head when the fatal bullet was fired. He was in the perfect position to have seen the back of the head blown off if that would have been what happened, but he never said anything even hinting that that was where the matter came from. Same thing with Jim Chaney. When he saw the explosion on Kennedy's head, he thought the president had been hit in the face. Did he say anything about the back of the head being shot off?
No. Chaney was also in the perfect position to have seen the back of the head blown off if it had been blown off, but he never even so much as hinted that he saw such a thing.
On top of all this, you guys completely ignore the fact that the largest amount of head matter went forward as far as several yards AHEAD of where the limousine was located at the time of the fatal shot.
David Burris and Billy Harper found skull fragments in the grass
AHEAD of where the limousine was located. It is part of these fragments seen flying through the air in the Zapruder and Nix film. The matter from the head landed "all over the interior of the car", the Connally's, Greer, Kellerman, and of course, Mrs. Kennedy. It was on the windshield, the sun visors(both sides), the side rails of the car(both), etc. The clearest prints of the FBI black and white photos showing the interior of the back seat compartment inside panel of the car that JFK was seated next to, shows splatter all over it. You can read the graphic detail of where the majority of the matter landed by reading Robert Frazier's testimony to the Warren Commission. The head matter that landed on Hargis and Martin can clearly be seen in the Zapruder film is a fine mist that blows rearward. Why do you ignore that? Face it and accept it.
Hargis never, ever said anything hit him with "force". Period. Also, Hargis said that fellow Dallas police officer "Buddy" Brewer flicked a piece of skull off Hargis' upper lip. He still didn't say that it struck him with any force, nor has he eversaid any such thing in all of the many interviews over, or during his Warren commission testimony, said anything about being struck with "force" by the head matter. You people love to exaggerate and twist things people said.
