Lance, You got "it" really bad if you can't see that one... Whew!
I went to your link. Sitzman saw a young Black couple sitting on a park bench, eating lunch and drinking Cokes, who threw down their bottles and startled her.
Dallas Morning News photographer Johnny Flynn later saw "two plainclothes men, one with a stenographer's note pad in hand, leaning over and examining a paper lunch bag, and a wrapper marked 'Tom Thumb 8 Buns 25 cents.' The lunch leavings are resting on an odd-looking metal frame slat bench positioned perpendicular to the concrete wall and next to the walkway leading to the stairs at the knoll."
This is now your Black man in a hat with a gun and tripod, is that right?
So, you basically ignore Sitzman and Flynn, correct? The Black couple, Tom Thumb buns and Coke bottles were ... what?
I'll have to admit, sincerely, that when I stare at your GIF or whatever it is until I'm cross-eyed, I CAN make myself see, for a fleeting instant, what I might convince myself was a white guy in a wide-brimmed hat holding or pointing what looks more to me like a pop bottle than a gun. But it could well be a 6'2" Black guy weighing approximately 187 pounds in a Stetson hat pointing a Remington Model 783 30.06 rifle with a 4X Weaver scope.
