Criticism of Secret ServiceSgt. Davis, of the Dallas Police
Department, believed he had prepared stringent security precautions,
in an attempt to prevent demonstrations like those marking the Adlai
Stevenson visit from happening again. The previous month, Stevenson,
the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, was assaulted by
an anti-UN demonstrator. But Winston Lawson of the Secret Service, who
was in charge of the planning, told the Dallas Police not to assign
its usual squad of experienced homicide detectives to follow
immediately behind the President's car. This police protection was
routine for both visiting presidents and for motorcades of other
visiting dignitaries. Police Chief Jesse Curry later testified that
had his men been in place, they might have been able to stop Oswald
before he fired a second shot, because they carried submachine guns
and rifles.[97]

A videoclip readily available shows Curry reasoning: "But just in my mind and by the direction of the blood and brain from the President from one of the shots, it would just seem that it would have to be fired from the front rather than from behind." [1] This is significant, since Lee Harvey Oswald's position during the shooting of President John F. Kennedy is, according to the Warren Commission and many others, to the rear of President Kennedy's limousine.
Curry was later quoted, "We don't have any proof that Oswald fired the rifle, and never did. Nobody's yet been able to put him in that building with a gun in his hand."[2]
Curry died of a heart attack in Dallas on June 22, 1980, and was buried in Grove Hill Memorial Park.
