"I Got me a president and policeman and almost gotta nother".
He would confess to his mother/wife/others, that the lumps he received
were justified. Led from the TT, he shouted to the throng, "I protest
this police brutality!" In the public eye now, it was LHO's 1st step
toward fostering a public image at odds w/the actual situation.

Oswald obviously never ever said anything even remotely close to the
above quote. If he had said it, the quote would be propped up all the
time by LNers as proof that Oswald confessed to both 11/22/63 murders
that he committed.
That quote actually comes from a newsman (I think it was a radio news
reporter, but I can't recall the station or the reporter, but I have
the hilarious quote in my audio files and on DVD somewhere, possibly
on my YouTube channel too).
The radio reporter was merely repeating hearsay (or possibly even
double- or triple-hearsay) that he got from a person who was most
likely near the Texas Theater when Oswald was arrested.
As I remember it, the radio reporter's exact words that he attributed
to Oswald were -- "I got me a cop and I got me a President and I'm
gonna get me two more."
That quote is just not a believable quote at all. Especially in light
of how Oswald behaved at the police station following his arrest, with
LHO denying his guilt as often as he could in front of the TV cameras,
etc.
Surely, Tom Lowry, you don't actually believe that Lee Harvey Oswald
made that bold statement quoted above (which is a statement that
amounts to a direct confession for BOTH Kennedy's and Tippit's
murders), do you?
