Agree. It does look like the "discovery" of the rifle was recreated.

Please post the pics that you're referring to....

Those videos showed nothing. They recreated that scene for the cameras just like in Iwo Jima.

  Brilliant.

So, all the officers we see in the footage, and Alyea himself, were involved in recreating this scene!

3..2..1..Action!

Geezus, just when you thought they hit absolute rock bottom they find another level. When did they do this recreation? How did they stage all of this? Are there any limits to what can be done? It seems there isn't.

The film was shown on live TV at the time. Alyea said he filmed the search and discovery and then when the film was full he took it out of the camera and dropped it out a window to a courier below who carried it to the TV studio/station.. Correction: Alyea said he tossed the film to a colleague who was just outside the "front door" (not sure what he meant) and it was rushed to the TV station. Once there it was developed and shown live.

Alyea: "I started to throw it [i.e., the film] out of the building but being so close and knowing that we had the other film, I wanted our station to be the first to show a film of the assassination. A A.J. L'Hoste was under the window. I yelled out to him. In actuality I tossed the film out the front door to Ron Reiland who had gotten back from covering the apprehension of Oswald at the Texas Theater."

So when did they have the the time to recreate this? And where did they do this? They got all of these "actors" to do this? What the heck is the claim now?

If the police didn't allow Alyea to film this the claim would be that that denial was done to prevent the filming of the staging and planting of the rifle and other evidence. But they did allow Alyea to film it and it's still not accepted. And if they're planting all of this why in the heck would you allow someone to film it all?

...why in the heck would you allow someone to film it all?

Exactly!

"The very fact that a television news cameraman was allowed to film a lot of the activity on that sixth floor just after the assassination of the President is practically proof enough ALL BY ITSELF that the Dallas police were not planting and/or manipulating any of the evidence on the sixth floor of the Book Depository on 11/22/63." -- DVP; January 2014

When filming of the snipers nest was that all new? Fritz came over picked up the bullets and threw them back down. How long after the last shot did the cameraman come onto the 6th floor in the TSBD?

[Paul J Cummings]

So as soon as the last shot was fired Alyea just ran immediately to the 6th floor and started filming? Of course not unless by some miracle they forgot to include him going up with Truly and Baker. What time did Alyea start filiming? 12:35? 12:55? 1:15PM? How long was it?

Brilliant.

They also probably believe the filming of the US flag on Iwo Jima in WWII wasn't recreated either for the media.

Agree. It does look like the "discovery" of the rifle was recreated.
