According to a new analysis,
[...] In this paper, simple one-dimensional dynamical models are uniquely applied to study in detail the fatal shot and the motion of the President's head observed in the film. Using known parameters from the crime scene, explicit force calculations are carried out for determining the projectile's retardation during tissue passage along with the resulting transfer of momentum and kinetic energy (KE). The computed instantaneous KE transfer within the soft tissue is found to be consistent with the formation of a temporary cavity associated with the observed explosion of the head, and subsequent quantitative examination of this phenomenon reveals two delayed forces at play in the backward motion of the President following impact. It is therefore found that the observed motions of President Kennedy in the film are physically consistent with a high-speed projectile impact from the rear of the motorcade, these resulting from an instantaneous forward impulse force, followed by delayed rearward recoil and neuromuscular forces.

That means that the witness HEARD THE SHOOTING
First, I said witnesses.
Must you twist EVERYTHING that doesn't match the Reactionary narrative inside your head?
Next, NO, that's not what it means at all.
Everyone knew when they ate lunch.
They correlated that time with later reports of what time the shooting took place.
That was around 12:30 Central Time, when most folks are eating lunch.
IF, there had been a number of law enforcement officers in the cafeteria
You needn't prove yet again what an Authoritarian Reactionary you are.
We've all known for quite some time.

Sometimes, you prove yourself to be dumber than a rock, dude. You failed to notice that I distinguished between several different qualities of cops.
Are you even aware that a lot of police get extensive training in taking note of details? Details that may or may not be trivial, yet turn out to be important?
Most local cops arrive at an accident, and they make some mental note that there are some skid marks on the road surface. Most STATE COPS arrive, secure the scene, then begin MEASURING those skid marks. Training, and attention to detail actually make or break cases, every day.
And, I repeat - eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable. Try reading - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=eyewitnesses+notoriously+unreliable&atb=v104-5_b&ia=web [duckduckgo.com]
