Is Greer Braking?


Recommended Posts

This segment is 30 frames, stabilized and run's at approx. 18 FPS.

Watch the movement ( direction) of Greer's white shirt and his right hand on the steering wheel.

He braces himself and brakes hard. imo

What I see in looking at the various films, roughly the following happens.

After turning into Elm as the Limo approaches the Stemmons sign, the limo slows, causing a kind of concertina effect of all vehicles following slowing/stopping. Then the Limo smoothly speeds up and the others catch up as the Limo again slows, Greer meanwhile appears to scan right left right. After/around the headshot there may be a tap on the brake and the various Motorcycles catch up and one slows considerably with the rider looking sharp right. The queen mary then is close, ie it either by speeding up catches up, or that and a combination of Greer slowing. Momentarily Greer speeds up and then slows to allow the SS guy to catch up, then there is a rapid speed increase leading to the race to the hospital. There is also some wiggling of the front wheels indicating that Greer was weaving slightly as he scans the area and then looks back at the headshot. Also, Johnson after the headshot rolls forward and 'slams' into the back of the front seats.

Greer's "actions" have always troubled me-always.
