You seem like a really cool guy, man. Keep it up.
according to wiki;
"Badge Man" is reputedly located behind the stockade fence at photo center
Do you see anything there though?
Not a thing, personally.

info;
During the Presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza, Dallas resident Mary Moorman took a series of photographs with her Polaroid camera. Her nonprofessional photos captured images of all of the Presidential limousine occupants, several other close witnesses (including Abraham Zapruder filming), two Dallas police motorcycle Presidential escorts, and much of the Plaza's grassy knoll. The "Badge Man" is reputedly visible in Moorman's fifth and most famous photo of the area, taken at the moment of the fatal shot. This photo has been calculated to have been captured between the Zapruder film equivalent concurrent frames of Z-315 and 316, less than one-sixth of a second after President Kennedy was struck in the head at Z-313.
The Moorman photograph was seen contemporaneously in world media through UPI, but the Warren Commission did not include it in the volumes of its Report (1964).
The House Select Committee on Assassinations (1976–1978) sent a high-quality negative of the Moorman photo to the Rochester Institute of Technology for enlargement, enhancement, and analysis. RIT's report states that it found no evidence of human forms anywhere in the background, and the specific area behind the stockade fence was deemed to be so underexposed that it was impossible to glean any information from it

Ok, so this is 8 years later and you'll probably never see this, hell you probably don't even use reddit anymore, but I'd just like to say, thank you. It was like two days before the deadline to turn in assignments and I had a whole research paper to write and my topic was the JFK assassination and I was struggling to find good sources but that 2nd link you posted was an absolute goldmine and it saved me. Thank you random redditor from 8 years ago.
that's awesome

This show on the assassination showed how the official story could actually be what happened. To me, at least, it makes a strong case for the lone gunman theory.
Thanks for the link mate
