    For anyone with half a brain, please notice that this man is not recalling anything that he saw himself concerning Tippit.

    Notice in the photo where Bentley helps escort Oswald to the patrol car, he presses his head right against Oswald's once he sees the photographers, thinking he'll be on the front page. Also, Bentley is repeating second-hand misinformation when he says that the sun came out at Love Field and JFK ordered the bubble top removed from the limo. There is no photographic evidence for this last minute change; the convertible was prepped and waiting, and if the top had been on it wouldn't have been delayed for any alterations.

    I bet I've seen that photo of LHO being escorted out of the Texas Theatre well over 100 times. To actually see and hear that gentleman, with the cigar in the mouth, escorting LHO out of that theatre. Is absolutely amazing! However, with that being said. It astonishes me how these witnesses can not come to grips with the truth. There is overwhelming evidence, that has come out in the past 10-15 years, which proves there was at least one more shooter. He just can't swallow his pride and admit he was wrong.

    One thing about these old timers is when they tell their stories don't expect all of it to be truthful. If you've ever been clocked in the eye you will know it puffs up. It's called an "impact" hit. I doubt very seriously that diving by someone scraping them would cause that. But of course DPD wouldn't admit to giving anyone a shiner. Especially in that era! But throughout these oral history videos they all stick together with the same objective. Oswald, Oswald, Oswald. Everything else doesn't matter and bologna..So right from the beginning of most of these you can tell what the answer will be when Stephan gives the final question. Oswald, Oswald, Oswald. Period!

    Absolute garbage which the 6th Floor Museum should be ashamed to have produced.
    1. Bentley claimed at the time that HE jammed the gun to stop it firing. McDonald claimed it was himself who did that. Which tells you how much trouble they had getting their stories straight. For anyone who has ever jammed a digit, it is not something you forget OR imagine.
    2. His claim that Oswald had multiple aliases in his wallet in the squad car is not confirmed by a single first day report by ANY of the arresting officers - including Bentley.
    3. His claim that the police did not know this was the same suspect (patsy) as in the JFK assassination is also palpably false. Unfortunately for the police, they had let it slip to reporter Vic Robertson - which Robertson testified was the very reason he high-tailed it to the theater.
    Mr. GRIFFIN. At the time you opened up the curtains and looked out, did you have any idea that this might be the man who would be accused of shooting the President?
    Mr. ROBERTSON. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been there.
    4. His claim that while taking Oswald in, they received a call asking who the suspect was, and that upon learning that it was Oswald, they were told try bring him straight to Fritz as we was the suspect on Kennedy is also palpably false. Fritz himself testified that he did not know it was the same person until AFTER Oswald was brought in. He himself was not there at that time, arriving soon after.
    If this is for the sake of historians in 100 years time, God help us all. You, Mr. Fagin have the power to get this right. Instead you opt to continue the cover-up.
    First question I would have put to Bentley -- how many innocent people were sent to prison during the reigns of Fritz, Decker and Wade?
    Hint: some stats (incomplete) are available through the Innocence Project. The numbers are not pretty. In fact, they are worse for Dallas County than for some entire states.
    I cannot find the words to explain the depth of my disgust at the pretense and falsity involved in these interviews.

      # 4 is a new twist on an older Bentley tale that instead the radio told them the assassin suspect was LHO, now he switched it, just like his and McDonalds shifting thumb- finger or hand story. Mack cleared it all up for us in a HC show, he said McDonald held the revolver, thus preventing it from spinning. and firing. But in a WFAA TV interview the next day after, McDonald said it misfired. l,ol. Do not you just love theater?? As for #2 Bentley said he had ID for LHO and Credit cards but no Hidell mentioned, then comes later on the mail order and ID in that name, which Jim DiEugenio believes were faked, sure looks like the first reports corroborate the ID was added later on. Was it real and found at the Paines house, who knows, a commenter on another clip said he had one and that he could see things wrong with the Hidell card.

    Wait just a darn minute. I saw an interview the day after where one of the arresting officers said he hit Oswald back after he hit MacDonald in the face (cops don't take very kindly to a brother officer being struck). Also tightening the handcuffs after a suspect said they were too tight is the kind of behavior that gave the Dallas PD a bad reputation. Most people have been led to believe they still act this way and I'm sure there are many that do, but still....people get bad reps for a reason. Years ago I knew someone who was belligerent and combative with the cops (DUI) and that person was black and blue all over the day after, but they admitted to me that they deserved it.
