JFK Body Shield Guards Were Ordered To Stand Down

JFK KILL SHOT CAME FROM FRONT SEAT

I came upon a YouTube.com video that shows the Secret Service men that were following immediately behind JFK limo pull back and stand down while Kennedy limo pulls forward -without them -for the final leg into the killing zone.

An agent puts out his arms and shrugs his shoulders with a look that says "What? Pull back?"

The names of the Secret Service agents who were following JFK limo are listed below in a statement made by the Secret Service Agent in Charge, Emory Roberts. The same Emory Roberts is seen standing up from the front passenger seat of the Secret Service agent car and gives the order to John Ready (running along the right rear of JFK limo) and Clinton Hill (running along the left rear of JFK limo) to stand down and stop running alongside of the President limo and to return to the Secret Service car following Kennedy limo.

It is John Ready seen on the right who had shrugged his shoulders three times and is perplexed as to why he should not continue running alongside the limo.

Perhaps Emory Roberts knew something was about to happen that Hill and Ready did not know.
