Suicide by Cop!

[John Iacoletti]

?At 22 years of age, Mr. Brewer did what a veteran police officer would do. The difference was that he was not armed.?

A veteran police officer would have watched a funny looking man walk down a sidewalk and then tell a ticket seller to call the police?

[Bill Chapman]

You mean "seen" by the shoe salesman on the opposite end of a darkened theater and nobody else?

The shoe salesman: '... I saw this gun come up and----in Oswald's hand, a gun up in the air.'

I can't vouch for the shoe salesman's eyesight. Too bad you weren't there...

Poor Little Johnny, a shoe salesman got a police honor and he didn't. Boo-hoo.

Obviously.

Dodger. Address the shoe salesman's statement I posted:

Sure, as soon as you address this:

Mr. BALL - Who pulled the pistol?
Mr. APPLIN - I guess it was Oswald, because--for one reason, that he had on a short sleeve shirt, and I seen a man's arm that was connected to the gun.

BFD. A long sleeve can be pulled back in a ruckus.
Or perhaps you can confirm that an officer with short sleeves scuffled with the funny-looking guy.

And what did I cherrypick, exactly... you're the one belittling the 'snap'

Mr. APPLIN - Well, the officer was scuffling with him there, and----
Mr. BALL - Did you hear anything?
Mr. APPLIN - Well, about the only thing I heard was the snap of the gun and the officer saying, "Here he is."
Mr. BALL - You heard the snap of a gun?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Are you familiar with guns?
Mr. APPLIN - Well, yes, sir; I am familiar with a few guns.
Mr. BALL - Pistols? Have you ever shot a pistol?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir; I have shot my daddy's nine-shot .22 pistol.
Mr. BALL - Sounded like a hammer of a pistol failing?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir.

Odd that you would quote the guy who confirmed it a snap
