Who was the "agent" patrolman Joe Smith encountered behind grassy knoll?

   It depends on the location of the Source from which the smoke came from.  A weapon having been discharged by someone in an open vehicle in the JFK Motorcade would explain: (1) people smelling "gun powder" down Elm St, and (2) DPD Patrolman Earle Brown smelling "gun powder" from his position standing atop the overpass stretching across the Stemmons Fwy. The JFK Motorcade traveled Directly below Earle Brown as it sped to Parkland Hospital.

So either someone in the motorcade fired a shot (which no one in Dealey Plaza saw) or someone was illegally burning something. Possibly a homeless person burning something trying to keep warm. There were homeless people in the vicinity - the three tramps.

   None of the witnesses in Dealey Plaza saw SA Lem Johns jump out of the LBJ SS Follow Up Car and run up Elm St toward the JFK Limo either. Yet Johns and the SS claim he did this. There are numerous things that Did happen that "no one in Dealey Plaza saw".  Do NOT permit that to shape your opinion(s). Also, anyone that has smelled "burning trash" and the odor of "gun powder" would Ever confuse the 2. Especially a DPD Policeman/Earle Brown.

I'd imagine it'd be easy to confuse the two.
