Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Let's consider the implications of this second sighting of Oswald in the doorway. First, look who he's talking to: a cop.

Look at the uniform. That guy isn't a bus driver. And he isn't a train conductor. He must be a cop. And that's very bad news for the people who think that Oswald locked and loaded on Kennedy and pumped him with rounds. And that's because anyone who did that would surely want to get out of there without talking to any cops. 

So, did Oswald start the conversation with the cop, or did the cop start it? I'm telling you that OSWALD STARTED IT. Oswald went up to that cop, and he started talking to him. How do I know? Look at the direction they're facing. The cop isn't even facing Oswald. If he had wanted to talk to Oswald, he would have approached him, and he would be facing him. But, he is not facing him: Oswald is facing the cop. It's obvious that Oswald walked up to the cop. So, Oswald went up to the cop and started the conversation. 

And the other reason to expect that to be true is because Oswald was leaving. They may have started to control who could ENTER the building- who they were going to let in. But, I doubt they were controlling who they were going to let out. 

You wouldn't expect a person who had just committed such a dastardly crime to want to talk to a cop, and for two reasons: 1) the cop would likely remember him, and it would surely be useful information: his physical description, his dress, his voice, his mannerisms. And 2) Oswald would have realized that he was still in the grip of the intensity of what he did, and in talking to a cop, he could easily give that away. It wouldn't take much to slip up. So, why talk to a cop if you don't have to?  

What I'm saying is the very fact that Oswald sought to talk to a cop just minutes after the assassination speaks of his innocence. Of course, I realize that he already interacted with a cop when he had his encounter with Marrion Baker, but according to Baker, Oswald didn't say anything. But, in that instance, Oswald didn't have a choice. In this case, he did, and it appears that he simply was not afraid to talk to that cop. And that speaks to his innocence.   

But, the other thing is: if that's Oswald talking to a cop, then surely the cop would have remembered it afterwards. When he later saw Oswald under arrest, he surely would have remembered talking to him. How could he not? And he surely would have mentioned it to his superiors. How could he not? So, why isn't it part of the official record that Oswald interacted with a cop when he left the building?

There is a report that Oswald gave directions to the pay phones in the building to two separate men. But, that was something that he did inside not outside. And those men came up to him; they initiated it. That cop doesn't look like he's looking for a pay phone. He looks like he's there on guard duty. So, this has got to be something else. 

So, if that's Oswald talking to a cop, why isn't it part of the official record that Oswald talked to a cop outside the TSBD after the assassination?  

Maybe they stifled it. After all, it makes Oswald look innocent, that he would be looking to talk to a cop so soon after the assassination; it seems not like the action of a guilty man. 

And maybe they stifled it because of what he said to the cop. And frankly, I have no idea what he said to the cop. I could speculate, but I won't. But, it may have been something very exonerating, and that would have been reason enough to stifle the whole encounter. 

But wait! There's more! If that's Oswald talking to a cop minutes after the assassination, what does that do to the tale about Oswald running out of the building, hastening to the Nash Rambler, getting in, and speeding off? It torpedoes it, doesn't it? I would say so. Oswald looks completely stationary. 

 Why would he suddenly start running like a mad man shortly after the scene above? He wouldn't. He didn't. It just doesn't compute. 

And if he didn't do that, then the odds are very great that he went home by bus and cab, as he said. What's the alternative? That he hitchhiked? 

I tell you it's very strange because if that's Oswald, that cop HAD to remember talking to him. And they're obviously talking. I should think he would remember everything about it. Is there some cop in Dallas who has been living with a deep dark secret for 50 years or until his life ended?
