Did Benavides ever say anything about seeing him shoot the cop in the head?

Pretty sure I was addressing your statement that he saw the policeman fall down, not whether or not he saw the head shot.

Did I say Benavides saw the headshot? And tell us why that would be in conflict with him seeing the poor dumb cop falling...

A review of the timeline again...
Quote
12:54 PM: LHO exits the cab in the 700 block of Beckley.
1:00 PM: LHO arrives on foot at his rooming house, where he retrieves his pistol.
 1:03 PM: LHO leaves the rooming house.
 1:16 PM: LHO shoots Officer J.D. Tippit and continues fleeing.
 1:22 PM: Police broadcast a description of the suspect in the Tippit murder.

 How is it possible that witnesses ultimately obtained some presence of mind.. reported the shooting...[from the police cars' radio] then summoning police who arrived..interviewed these witnesses ..obtained a description of the suspect... forwarded it to dispatch who then relayed it to the squads all in 6 minutes? Even today with cellular communication that would still be considered ultra phenomenal.

12:48 PM: LHO hails a cab and asks to be taken to 500 North Beckley.

William Whaley swore that the man who he delivered to Oakcliff entered his cab at 12:30 and the man was dressed in BLUE workman's uniform.

12:54 PM: LHO exits the cab in the 700 block of Beckley.

Possibly...But it was NOT William Whaley's taxi.

1:00 PM: LHO arrives on foot at his rooming house, where he retrieves his pistol.

The primary reason that Lee went to the rooming house was to change his clothes.....There is no evidence that indicates he retrieved a pistol from his room.

1:03 PM: LHO leaves the rooming house.

And He was standing on the sidewalk in front of the rooming house at 1:04

1:16 PM: LHO shoots Officer J.D. Tippit and continues fleeing.

Mrs Helen Markham watched Tippit's patrol car creep slowly eastward along 10th street at 1:04 Tippit was tailing a man who was walking east on 10th street.   At about 1:05 Tippit stopped the man and called him over to the patrol car.   About 1 minute later The man shot Tippit to death as Tippit got out of the car and walked toward the front of the car. 

1:22 PM: Police broadcast a description of the suspect in the Tippit murder.

This broadcast occurred AFTER the police had talked to several witnesses..... The police could not have obtained a reliable description from the witnesses in a mere six minutes , because there was NOT A  CONSENSUS of opinion about the appearance of the suspect.

12:54 PM: LHO exits the cab in the 700 block of Beckley.

William Whaley said that his passenger who was dressed in BLUE clothing paid a fare of 95 cents..... Lee told the interrogators he paid a taxi fare of 85 cents....  That ten cents says that Lee did not alight from a taxi in the 700 block of Beckley.....  Lee apparently got out of the taxi about a quarter of a mile from the 700 block of Beckley.

Pretty sure you're the one playing games by bringing up the head shot in a discussion about Benavides.

So you're proposing that Tippit was just clumsy?..... Is that right?....  He simply fell down at the time the shots were fired...
Actually it was reported in several books and interviews that Tippit would look down on the ground when  he was talking to someone.....

Point out where I claimed Benavides saw the head shot.

I never said you did.  But you did bring up the head shot in a discussion about what Benavides saw as if it was somehow related.
