Time for Truth

[Richard Smith]

The problem is not that Mr. Brewer claims he found this suspicious, but that he claims he thought the man might have been the shooter of the officer in Oak Cliff. Why? Because he 'fitted the description' just broadcast on radio. What description? What broadcast?

The further problem is that the police, who were looking for a man wearing a white shirt, got a report about a man in a brown shirt and concluded that this brown-shirted man was "the suspect" in the Tippit killing.

Brewer's reasons for following Oswald to the TT don't matter unless you are alleging that he was part of some conspiracy to frame Oswald for the crime.  Imagine in this fantasy that his role was to get a job at a shoe store and then wait for Oswald to pass so that he could alert the police.  That is a laughable narrative.  There doesn't need to be any agreement on whether Brewer acted reasonably or had legitimate cause to find Oswald's behavior worthy enough to follow.  Again, the police got a report of a man acting suspiciously in the vicinity of the crime.  They reacted the same as when they saw a man in a gray sweater running into the library.  There were undoubtedly a multiude of men walking around in white shirts.  The police were not stopping folks for that reason.  They were responding to reports of suspicious behavior.

So wearing a gray sweater is close enough to a white shirt to warrant a heavy police response but a brown shirt is not.

Exactly--now you've got it

Got what?  A gray sweater is no more similar to a white shirt than a brown shirt.  It's not even a shirt.   They saw a man matching the general description acting suspiciously by running into the library.  He did not have on a white shirt.  Nevertheless, a heavy police response was sent to check him out.   The exact same thing occurred at the TT.  The police received a report of a person acting suspiciously who matched the general description.  A heavy police response was sent to check it out.  They were searching for an armed and dangerous killer.  It could have turned out that the person at the TT was not their suspect, but they had to respond as though he could be just as they did at the library.

Keep telling yourself that, lol

It's not even a shirt.

How apparent would that have been to an officer who saw him running?

Even your guru, Mr. Myers, understands that it was the clothing that swung it for Patrolman Walker

What “Richard” is trying to say is that the police “had to” respond with an illegal and inappropriate use of force, because a shoe salesman thought he looked funny.

You tell me.  This is your fantasy.  You are arguing that the police would not respond to any report of a suspect not wearing a white shirt.  At the library they responded to a report of a guy wearing a gray sweater.

I didn’t “push” it out. It’s no less plausible than the evidence-less official claim about the revolver. Which was the whole point.

"It’s no less plausible than the evidence-less official claim about the revolver"

LOL

Another assertion delivered without any supporting evidence.

You don't know how to play by your own rules, do you?
