Backes, I know there are two motorcycle cops there, and everybody does. For goodness sake, you can see them in the Altgens photo and the various films. 



That was just a few seconds before the Moorman photo was taken. So obviously, if there were two there on that side of the street, there were two in the Moorman photo. 

And we can plainly see the two motorcycle cops in the Muchmore frame that most closely matches the Moorman photo. 


That's what you call a close match to the Moorman photo.


This one below is way off.  It's too late. Clint Hill is already on the move. We don't see him in the Moorman photo. Also notice that the limo is closer to the steps than in the Moorman photo. 


But, the worst thing is that if Mary Moorman had clicked at this moment, she never would have captured the Moorman photo. She would have caught the motorcycle cops, and the one closest to her would have loomed large because of his proximity to her. And she would have caught JFK and Jackie much nearer the center of her visual field. When you face something and shoot it squarely, you don't get this kind of eccentric shot:


So, once again, you're wrong, Backes. Stupidly, ignorantly wrong. This is the frame that best matches the Moorman photo, and Mary Moorman had nothing to do with it.
