In this video, we see how the secret service inexplicably broke standard operating procedures, which seemed to confound one agent who did the “WTF!?” arms gesture.
The implied reason for SS breaking SOP was to get the agents out of the way, so the sniper would have a clear shot.
Yeah theres a lot of moving parts, and you kinda gotta watch it as many times as it takes to keep your eyes on ONE individual thruout the entire clip.
Its like that video where they tell you to count the basketball passes and while you are focused on that, there is a gorilla dancing in the background that you dont notice at all until next time you watch the clip and then you are surprised because how tf did i not notice the gorilla? Thats the point. We need to be aware of our weaknesses.
I practice this when crossing the street with busy traffic; cars going in a bunch of different directions.
I stare at a point in space on the ground, and allow my peripheral vision to see the cars on my left, right, and anything else to come into my vision and awareness.
Same thing with checking my blind spot before changing lanes while driving; I try not to look at a single window and instead see the whole scenery behind the car chassis, I try to see all the windows and the whole background as I sweep my vision from side-to-side.
Protocol was the ride in the back of the car to protect JFKs rear, they even had a special platform placed. Last second they were told to stand down. Right before entry in to delay plaza
They took away JFK's security agents, but left Jacquie's. That is why no one jumped on the car when JFK was shot, but Jacquie's agent jumped on the trunk when she crawled onto it to get her husband's brains.
Saving to watch later. Thanks!
Yes. This. And if you've never seen it, now would be a good time to watch the movie, JFK.

Thanks man.
edit: the yellow arrow on the left distracted me from the WTF guy.

Reminds me of Miyamoto Musashi, he said we must train our eyes to see everything
Any good tips on how to do that?

That's my interpretation of what Musashi said.
