People ran up the grassy knoll to supposedly kick ass, didn't they?

The people who ran up the grassy knoll actually saw a crime committed.

[John Iacoletti]

There must have been police brutality because that's what a self-described Marxist, Lee Harvey Oswald, yelled out, right?

What the hell does being a Marxist have to do with anything?

Here's your evidence of police brutality.



Mr. McDONALD - Yes. I went at him with this hand, and I believe I struck him on the face, but I don't know where.
. . .
Mr. BALL - What did he say about police brutality?
Mr. McDONALD - One thing, "Don't hit me any more." I remember that.
Mr. BALL - Did somebody hit him?
Mr. McDONALD - Yes, sir; I guess they did.
Mr. BALL - Who hit him, do you know?
Mr. McDONALD - No, sir; I don't, other than myself.
Mr. BALL - You know you hit him?
Mr. McDONALD - Yes, sir.

-------

Mr. BALL - Did you see any officers strike him?
Mr. APPLIN - I seen one strike him with a shotgun.
Mr. BALL - How did he do it?
Mr. APPLIN - He grabbed the muzzle of the gun and drawed it back and swung and hit him in the back.
Mr. BALL - With what?
Mr. APPLIN - With the butt end of the gun.
Mr. BALL - Looked like a hard blow?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir; it--I guess-it was. You could--yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - And he struck Oswald where?
Mr. APPLIN - In the back.
Mr. BALL - What part of the back?
Mr. APPLIN - Well, somewheres along in the middle of the back, somewheres.
Mr. BALL - With the butt end of a shotgun?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir.

John,

Interesting usage of the passive voice.

Question: Did they see anyone commit the criminal  act?

Stupid cops.

They were supposed to kill him!

Gasp ... that's what Roger Stone, Oliver Stone, Mark Lane, and James "Jumbo Duh" DiEugenio at the so-called  Education Forum told me!

On Nov 22 1963 everybody was listening to KLIF...even me. They reported the shooting of the policeman at 1:55PM [or 18 minutes into part 3.] This would have been after Oswald was arrested anyway which makes Brewer a liar whether he was listening to KLIF or Radio Moscow.

Nobody listened to other stations? And no other station made an announcement about a shooting of an officer?

A report that an officer was shot came across the radio dispatch/communications at about 1:16. I would guess - that's all it is - that many news organizations were listening in to the radio communications and overheard this. In any case, several reporters who were at the TSBD said they heard the announcement over the police radio and rushed to the scene.

I'll offer - and try to find support for it - that a radio announcement of the shooting was broadcast well before 1:55.

From Myer's book on the Tippit shooting: "The exact time that Brewer heard the radio broadcast on the shooting of Office Tippit is not known, although it was very likely broadcast at about 1:31 p.m. over KBOX radio. There were five major radio stations covering the Dallas area - WFAA (570 AM), WPBAP (820 AM), KRLD (1080 AM), KBOX (1480 AM) and KLIF (1190 AM). All of them routinely monitored the Dallas police radio."

Again, you wrote that he stated in his affidavit/testimony about listening to KLIF. Where did he say this? I can't find it.

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Yawn!

As soon as you punch a cop, you give up all your rights.

Of course, Well, not all of your rights. He was detained as a suspect in a shooting. Another person was briefly detained for the shooting as well. In fact, Brewer was also briefly detained when police opened the back of the theater.

If these other two individuals pulled a gun out and fought with the police they too would have been brought in. Apparently the view is that Oswald should have been released.

This is silly. The endless excuses for Oswald are just absurd.
