Back to the movies with Julia Postal

[Jerry Freeman]

If a man punches a cop for no reason and then produces a revolver and attempts to kill a Police Officer, how does "intuition" figure into the cops behaviour?

Well...your intuition is absolutely worthless. "I had my gun drawn...I was ready for trouble"

Everybody? There was only one radio station in Dallas?

No but no one listened to them not that day. In fact KRLD news radio didn't report the Tippit shooting until after 2PM...Same with WBAP not only that but no one reported the policeman dead until nearly 2:30 PM.
 

As soon as you punch a cop, you give up all your rights.

Maybe in your country. Looks like Mytton is against the ropes again.

Yawn!

As soon as you punch a cop, you give up all your rights.

Not in this country.  Or I doubt even in Australia.

Also why would anybody take the word of serial embellisher, Nick McDonald?

[Jerry Freeman]

...Brewer, a manager at a shoe store located about 90 steps from the Oak Cliff neighborhood theater, was listening to news reports about the president's assassination when he heard reports that a Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippit, had just been killed a few blocks away. A man whose behavior seemed suspicious then walked into the foyer of the shoe store. Brewer said the man stared at the display in the window and acted scared as police cars with blaring sirens raced by.

See how the story went? Brewer was so involved with claims of his heroism that the facts didn't matter. Brewer 'helped catch' no one. Tippit wasn't reported dead on the radio until 2:30PM or so.

Go and punch a cop in the face and let's see what happens.

Also why would anybody take the word of serial embellisher, Nick McDonald?

An officer approached him and he hit the officer and knocked him back.

Are you saying McDonald had his gun drawn?

No but no one listened to them not that day.

On a scale of 1 to 10 of self serving assumptions, that's an 11!

Maybe in your country. Looks like Mytton is against the ropes again.

So in your country, you can punch a cop and he usually says "thanks"?

Mr. HUTSON. I saw this person stand up, and McDonald and him became engaged in a struggle.
Mr. BELIN. Did you see who hit whom first?
Mr. HUTSON. No.
Mr. BELIN. You are shaking your head, no.
Mr. HUTSON. No, I didn't.
Mr. BELIN. Okay.
Mr. HUTSON. The lights were down. The lights were on in the theatre, but it was dark.

Hutson was in the next row of seats.  Brewer was on the stage by the back door.

Mr. BALL - Wait a minute. I can't follow you when you say it was "this way," sir. You told me that this officer asked Oswald to stand up?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Did he stand up?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir; he did.
Mr. BALL - Then did he put his hand some place on Oswald?
Mr. APPLIN - Yes, sir; along about
Mr. BALL - Where?
Mr. APPLIN - I guess about his hips.
Mr. BALL - Then what did Oswald do?
Mr. APPLIN - He took a right-hand swing at him.
Mr. BALL - What did the officer do?
Mr. APPLIN - The officer grabbed him then.

"Took a swing", not punched.  And if he did take a swing it was in self defense, after he was assaulted by an officer who had no right to touch him.
