32. Oswald deservedly got pummeled by police at his arrest at the theater

Thu Nov 23, 2023, 11:23 PM

Nov 2023

When Detective Bentley approached Oswald in the theater, Oswald drew his pistol, aimed at Detective Bentley, and pulled the trigger. Detective Bentley instinctively reached for the weapon. The pistol hammer came down on the web of Detective Bentley's hand. Detective Bentley's hand was lacerated by the moving hammer, and he bore a scar therefrom for the remainder of his life. If the web of Detective Bentley's hand had not stopped the hammer's motion, the pistol would have discharged, and Detective Bentley likely would have been killed.

At the time the below photo of Oswald being dragged out of the theater was snapped, he exclaimed that he protested "this police brutality" and that he was "not resisting."
