JFK Assassination Forum

   Officer Harkness gave WC Testimony. He details the order in which he did things after the kill shot. And YOU wanted to use the Nat Geo snippet as evidence? Unfortunately, you were unaware that the snippet shows the Harkness 3 Wheel Motorcycle double parked right next to Inspector Sawyer's car. Why? Because Harkness helped load Euins into Inspector Sawyer's car. Time? 12:37 PM. From this point, Harkness helped secure the area behind the TSBD. This is where we see him and the alleged Officer Haygood on the Darnell Film. Time? 12:38 PM. It is impossible for Officer Haygood to be inside the railroad yard at 12:38. And remember that we see this same cop earlier on the Darnell Film. It is impossible for Haygood to be back inside the railroad yard at 12:37 PM. Haygood made a documented 12:35 radio transmission from his motorcycle parked near the Triple Underpass. From 12:35 PM on, Haygood was conducting interviews near his motorcycle. Tague's testimony corroborates this. I have steadfastly been all over this issue for 2+ years now. Every single piece of evidence I continue to gather further Proves the DPD motorcycle cop on the Darnell Film can Not be Haygood.

and that means what? That there was another DPD cop in Dealey Plaza?
--------------------------------

Most likely there are others but so far two different officers, Walters and Harkness, both made the same claim that there were a number of officers present behind the TSBD. Your claim was that only Harkness and Haygood were there. Obviously, that is not true. The other officers, if interviewed, would have made the same claim. You also made the claim that only detectives in suits were present, but that also is not true.

Det. Walters

Mr. WALTHERS. And at that time I heard the shots as well as everybody else, but as we got over this fence, and a lot of officers and people were just rummaging through the train yards back in this parking area.
Mr. LIEBELER. In the parking area down there? West of the Texas School Book Depository Building between the Texas School Book Depository and the railroad tracks?
Mr. WALTHERS. Yes; and the discussion came up among several of the officers, "Were there any shots fired?" And I said, "Well, they sounded like rifle shots to me." At the time no one knew---in our crowd they were sure the shots had been fired though because of the reports---we heard the noise, and I left then and went back up here and came back onto the street.

 

 

DPD Harkness

Mr. BELIN - Had the building been sealed off at that time?
Mr. HARKNESS - Not to my knowledge. There were several officers around it, but I don't know whether it had been sealed off or not.
Mr. BELIN - In the process of sealing off the building, what did you do?
Mr. HARKNESS - Asked for a squad.
Mr. BELIN - How long did it take you after that to have the back part sealed off?
Mr. HARKNESS - The guard was arriving by the time I got off my motorcycle. There was already additional squads en route.
Mr. BELIN - How soon after 12:36 p.m., would you say the building was sealed off?
Mr. HARKNESS - It was sealed off then because I was back there and two other men.

Exactly what is the point you are trying to make with the photo that you reference? Currently it seems the only point is that you do not have a point other than there is maybe or maybe not an unidentified officer in a photo taken after the assassination.

They mention the lapel flip at 34:50. There are some good comments re what/how a slug might cause the lapel flip (but no mention of jacket bulge). Anyhow they do not mention that Lattimer wrote that the lapel flip needed a big bulge & that a bulge needed lots of outshoot debris & that that needed a yawing/tumbling slug at exit, & that that needed the slug to pass throo a jfk firstly.

The oblong entry wound on JBC's back and the flattening of the bullet at the base, not the nose of the bullet is proof positive the bullet was yawing after it exited from JFK's throat.

For the sake of argument, let's say you are correct that the motorcycle cop is not Haygood. What difference does that make?

   "What difference does that make?".  Your asking that question says a lot regarding your limited foundational knowledge of the JFK Assassination. You merit your seat at the kiddie table. Put in the time and do the research.

Great episode, Fred.  There was way too much common sense being thrown around for the conspiracy crowd to handle.
