The Murder of Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit (English Version)

On November 22nd '63, Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit was murdered in Oak Cliff, about 45 minutes after the assassination of president John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.

[@G8AR]

I have always had suspicions about the Tippet and Oswald interactions? IF… Oswald shot Tippet, what caused Tippet to make contact with Oswald in the first place? My understanding (which could be incorrect) is that at the time of Tippet’s shooting, Oswald had not been identified as the suspect? There are no call logs to indicate Oswald was a suspect at that time. So why did Tippet stop him in the first place? If Oswald had been identified prior to the Tippet shooting, then proper police procedure would have been for the police to first go to Oswald’s residence to attempt his arrest rather than conduct patrols in the area of his residence in hopes of locating him. As a retired police office of 32 years I have attended numerous crime scenes where the suspect (s) had fled prior to police arrival. The description commonly provided by the witnesses / victims was usually quite general unless there is something specific about the suspect’s appearance, such as very curly hair, very tall, or unique clothing. Descriptions of suspects provided by witnesses would often contain similarities to a number of innocent people on the street; especially in a large metropolitan city. There is no evidence to indicate Tippet knew Oswald and certainly it is reasonable to suspect Oswald changed his clothes after the assassination. So if Oswald shot Tippet, what caused Tippet to approach Oswald miles from Dealey Plaza an hour after the shooting? Tippet’s behaviour prior to the shooting and the very interaction itself, suggests to me there was something more at play in this situation. I am new to your channel so I have not read all the information you have provided regarding the Kennedy assassination. I am not a conspiracist but having spent 32 years in the field of criminal investigation there has always been a number of questions regarding the Kennedy assassination that just did not make sense to me. There are so many facts accepted by the Warren Commission that as an experienced criminal investigator are so ridiculous they defy reasonable explanation. As a trained marksman and sniper I have always doubted that Oswald could have fired three rounds at a moving vehicle and hit the President twice. The magic bullet scenario would be laughable if it were not for the fact President Kennedy was assassinated. I have witnessed what happens to a bullet after it strikes a human or animal in a boney structure, it is never in pristine condition. The fact the case was immediately handed directly over to the FBI who stated the investigation was over as soon as Oswald was captured is completely unexplainable or acceiptable. It is beyond any form of common sense to believe an investigation into the assassination of the President of the United States would be concluded after one day. Any proper and professional investigation would want to determine whether there were conspirators, how Oswald was funded, links to foreign entities, whether assassinations were planned against other dignitaries, etc... The Oswald lone gunman theory is absolutely ridiculous.

Spot on thanks for your long law service

[@aaronz7056]

You're right: you are incorrect. An APB was out on the shooter and on AWOL TSBD employee Oswald, of course Tippit wanted a closer look at this suspect. Bullet is not "pristine," if you could have been bothered to actually examine it. Single bullet theory makes perfect sense and is backed up by hard evidence. All credible medical, forensic, film, eyewitness and ballistic evidence demonstrate the shots all came from the sixth floor window, and from Oswald's rifle.

[@1VintageFather]

Agreed. Retired 29 years here.

[@aaronz7056]

Rubbish, the APB was out and that's presumably why Tippit stopped Oswald. This decorated police officer's family has now had to spend 60 years watching armchair detectives opine away without evidence the man was up to something dirty, to hell with the pain their words might cause them. The shooting feat would have been child's play to a trained Marine: a) Oswald scored 18 out of 20 in rapid fire at targets 200 yards away as per his Marines scorebook. b) Kennedy was a slow-moving target a maximum of 88 yards away. c) Victims' reactions in Zapruder's film clearly demonstrate 3 shots over 8-9 seconds. Magic bullet makes perfect sense and is backed up by hard evidence and if you could have been bothered to actually examine the bullet you would have seen it is badly crushed at the nose and flattened down one side, perfectly consistent with causing those wounds. All credible ballistic, medical, forensic, film and eyewitness evidence clearly demonstrate the shots all came from the sixth floor window, and from Oswald's rifle.

[@sandrojakopcevic7071]

@@aaronz7056 That's not true! A lot of witnesses said that the shots came from picket fence. Some of them have never been called to testify before the commision. Sam Holland for instance. From the Zapruder video, it was clear that after the shot, president moved backwards and left, which wouldn't happen if all of the shots came from behind. If Oswald killed Tippit, why would he empty the shells at the scene of the crime and leave evidence?

[@jbyeats]

Warren Reynolds was the most IMPORTANT witness to the killer of J D Tippit . He walked alongside the killer , immediately on the other side of the Street . He observed the killer for more than 1 minute . Initially he was NOT interviewed by anyone investigating Tippit's murder . Then , he was formally interviewed by the FBI on January 22nd 1963. H gave them a very accurate description of the killer & told them in NO SHAPE or FORM was the KILLER , OSWALD. Just TWO DAYS later on Jan 24th he was shot in the head by someone who entered his workplace & left him for Dead . When he recovered, he suddenly realized his mistake and told the FBI - THAT IS WAS INDEED - OSWALD. I would have done EXACTLY the SAME . Hey - but there was no conspiracy here . ( By the way ... the man who shot him was a buddy of Jack Ruby . There is definitely NO CONSPIRACY here.)

Well Roscoe White said he shot Tippit. Tippit, Oswald and White on way to airport. Oswald panics and jumps out of car. Tippit becomes suspicious and wants to take White to HQ for questioning. White silences him with 4 shots.

[@meisievannancy]

I don't think Oswald was a gungho hitman firing three of four shots into a man already wounded lying on the ground. This is a serious silencing type of killer. In Russian men forbade Oswald from returning after one hunting in wild when he dangerously shot wildly miss at a rabbit endangering hunting party. Not compentant.

[@charlesrobbins2208]

W. P. Parker was also in the area at that time. He was "out for 5" on E Jefferson. He never told dispatch he was back on duty. The dispatcher asked the other officers if they knew where Parker was. No response. This is near where Tippit was killed. There had been reports of a police car in between the houses where Tippit had been killed. A man running in a white jacket and dark pants was seen in the area where Parker said he was out for 5. Then, a white jacket was found in a lot near where the man was seen running. I believe Parker was that man, the jacket hid his uniform shirt, he tossed the jacket when he got to his car. Parker never was heard from on that day but in the transcript. One officer was just killed, another goes missing, yet, no alarm or concern for his safety was shown? Strange thing to happen and nobody cares? Right. They rushed 10 cars to the theatre for a guy not paying for a ticket? It didn't look for a missing officer? I don't buy it.

Putting this together with the Velma call and Frank Wright testimony makes me think that Tippit was in Dealey Plaza, observed someone with a different rifle run out of the building and try to get in the gray Plymouth coupe he had asked to move. Velma said that the car pulled off and the gunman went to the viaduct. That would explain why he was watching the viaduct and pulling over cars aggressively. He had a suspect who was more believable than Lee. Thank you to Andy and Quick Hits podcast for connecting the two.

@@aaronz7056 This story is full of so many obvious holes that only an idiot would just take the Warren Commission at their word. Why did Hoover and Katzenbach write memos stating that a commission should be formed to convince the public that Oswald, and Oswald alone, killed Kennedy?? If you don't think the Government would lie to you remember, this is the same Government that thought that "Operation Northwoods" was a good idea. That involved blowing up planes, either full of Americans or unpiloted drones, it didn't matter to them, they just wanted the list of causalities written in the papers, and blaming it on Cuba in order to justify invading Cuba. The same Government that lied to us about The Gulf of Tonkin incident as a justification for sending more troops to Vietnam. You don't actually believe Jack Ruby shot Oswald because he didn't want Jackie to have to endure a trial, do you?? If Oswald was the lone gunman why the need to create a Commission whose sole purpose was to release a statement saying Oswald was the lone gunman?? If those were the facts of the case then the Dallas Police could have handled the investigation, killing a President was not a Federal crime in 1963. The fairy tale The Warren commission told is clearly nonsense. They selectively interviewed witnesses who supported Oswald as the lone gunman and ignored those who didn't. Ill be honest, I don't know what happened on Nov 23 1963 in Dallas, and neither do any of us. But to just take the Government at their word, after they have been caught lying about so many things, is absurd.

Warren commission and the FBI chose not to accept the eyewitness official statements. One description fit that of Jack Ruby, who gave a hand gesture to another man walking parallel but across the street. The gesture was to continue walking in the direction he was walking toward. Also the gunman used his own gun then reloaded in a yard close by, when you see the video of the shooting at the time you will see officers and detectives holding a pistol they claimed at the time belonged to the shooter. Oswald had no residue from firing any weapon when he was tested after being taken into custody. The pistol Oswald had when arrested was not the pistol used to kill Tippit. Oswald owned one pistol and one rifle.

Does it appear strange that JD is waiting at a bus stop, goes to record shop n calls, pulls over a car by cutting them off and actually hits the car, then gets killed exactly half way between Oswald's boarding house and Jack Ruby's apt. 2). Has anybody wondered just where in the hell Oswald was going? Doesn't make sense. Here's what does make sense. Tippit was to catch Oswald getting off the bus and arrest or kill him but Oswald wasn't on the bus. Tippit panics and makes call. Pulls over a car for no reason but checks the backseat. Tippit now becomes plan B: He is killed and now a convenient trail is made from his shooting to the theater with obvious intention. Why? Because they know that Oswald will be at the theater waiting to meet with his handler. How do we know this? Look at Oswald's action. The last Erlene Robert's sees of him, he is standing at the bus stop on the corner of Zang blvd. It is a straight shot down Zang to Jefferson and hang a right to the theater. No need to be at Patton st. He gets to the theater just like Butch Burrough say, around 1:07. Movie theater managers are a good source for time because their entire job is starting movies on time and paying attention to what time it is. Oswald then sets next to several people for just a brief minute before he finally sits at the back of the theater where he is arrested. An Oswald double is with Jack Ruby who kills Tippet and waves him on to the theater. Aquilla Clemmons testifies to this as well. The Oswald double leaves a trail to the theater and all hands are on the lookout for a cop killer. There was a bigger response to Tippit's shooting than the President. Think about that! The double leaves a trail. Ducks in by the shoe store and gets little Johnny Brewer's attention and then slides into the theater without buying a ten cent ticket. The double goes straight to the balcony. The double is arrested the same time Oswald is and taken out the back door. Eyewitnesses seen this and for years thought that they had seen Oswald arrested but couldn't understand why all the pictures showed him coming out the front of the theater. Now, it makes sense!

So Tippit knew Oswald would be on 10th street? If he was supposed to kill Oswald, he would have waited for him at his rooming house or near it. Not on 10th street. Dallas is the fourth or fifth bigger city in USA. A couple of few bums were concerned about all the police cars in the streets with lights and sirens. Somebody who was worried about the police cars hide in the shoe store than entered the theater without paying his ticket. They called the police on him because they heard on the radio about Tippit. So maybe 26 policemen and plain clothes ones were deployed at the theater and Brewer pointed at Oswald because he looked like the somebody. You don't send ANY police officer to a theater for a person not paying his 25 cents to enter the place. Not that day... And you don't send 25 cops for that... All and all, if Oswald acted ALONE, without telling anyone of course, why Ruby killed him? Who is nuts enough to shot somebody inside a police station knowing you will be arrested, booked and charged... Oswald knew things... Oswald did not act alone. Oswald did not shot anybody but helped the shooter and his buddy to hide on the 6th floor.

The ballistics evidence did not match up (the spent shells matched Oswald's gun but not the bullets removed from Tippit at his autopsy), The FBI received the bullets from the Dallas authorities and could not match them to Oswald's gun. The Dallas police lifted fingerprints from the passengers side of Tippit's police car that didn't match Oswald's. The governments main witness to the shooting was a crackpot named Helen Markham. She claimed in her Warren Commission testimony that she had talked to Tippit as he laid on the ground when actually he was killed instantly from the shot to the head. It gets even better, Mark Lane ( who was hired to represent Oswald before the Commission) asked her in a recorded conversation to described Tippit's killer and she stated he was short and heavy with bushy hair which is exactly what two other witnesses had seen. She even stated she didn't recognize Oswald in the police lineup and only picked him out because she claimed that she had chills run up and down her when she saw him in the lineup. Yet the Commission built most of the case against Oswald shooting Tippit on her testimony. Google her WC testimony yourself and see what a farce the whole thing was.

Richard Bushey Don't forget the Black woman who said the exact same thing."The shooter was short and stocky.And he motioned to another man across the street to move on".-Tippet even stopped in front of the house where Oswald was renting a room and honked the horn.Just like when Castro was asked if he or the Russians had a hand in the assassination,he answered truthfully.-"That was an Inside job".

[@jerrilampon9596]

Richard, Oswald's pistol had been rechambered from a .32 standard to a .32 special and the barrel was shortened from 5" to 2". The pistol was not rebarreled. It was still the standard .32 diameter. The .32 special bullet is slightly smaller than the .32 standard barrel, so bullets passing through the larger chamber would rattle down the barrel without leaving definitive grooves had the barrel been a .32 special barrel, so it was difficult to get repeatable identifications from bullets recovered from Tippit. Cartridges found at the scene resolve the identification much better. As with the bullets, a gun puts a distinguishing “fingerprint” onto each cartridge fired in it. Each cartridge base is seated against the breech face and firing pin, prior to firing. When the primer is struck and the bullet fired, the resulting explosion thrusts the cartridge back against the breech face of the gun, permanently stamping the base of the cartridge with the unique fine lines etched on the surface of the breech face. All cartridges were identified as having been fired from Oswald's pistol. Proof positive that Oswald shot Tippit. Fingerprints from Tippit's car did not match Oswald, but that doesn't exonerate Oswald. The overwhelming evidence for his guilt overrides any lack of fingerprints on Tippits car matching Oswald. Mark Lane called Helen Markham and recorded the conversation with her. He attempted to intimidate her in to changing her description she gave of Oswald to a short, heavy, and with bushy hair. She didn't give Lane what he wanted. Lane was questioned by the Warren Commission and was given immunity from prosecution if he turned over the tape recording he made with Markham. This is unfortunate, because Lane was guilty of witness tampering and should have spent time in jail. This was typical of his tactics and he should have been prosecuted many times over for it. Read his testimony.

He waited for the bus, it came and Oswald didn't get off. He then followed the bus to see if Ossie might get off at the next stop or two. He then stopped off at Top Ten Records to inform his controller that Oswald was not on the bus.

Oswald shifting modes of transit probably wouldn't have been detected immediately by those plotting the assassination and the ancillary murder of Tippit. Tippit may have been killed because he knew too much and maybe talked too much, his death served to incriminate Oswald, and Tippit had a resemblance to JFK, and might have been useful in crafting phony autopsy photos.

Sounds right. It fits the facts. Tippet was nervous as hell. On the morning of Nov 22, 1963 he told his eldest son "no matter what, remember I love you." He knew he was facing grave danger that day. Maybe he was supposed to pick up Oswald at TSBD but the plan went awry. In any case IMO he was supposed to kill Oswald to silence him from ever talking. He bungled that assignment and Oswald was after all prob highly paranoid that he would be murdered in a cover-up; after all Oswald went back to his rooming house for one purpose: to get his .38 handgun for protection. Even if Tippet succeeded, he would probably get killed so he too would be silenced. But Tippet having failed, Ruby now had to sacrifice himself and hope for a short sentence for manslaughter (a crime of passion committed because Oswald killed his beloved Pres. John F. Kennedy). For the mob, within 48 hrs the two guys they were prob most worried might talk were both dispatched.

Zang Blvd places him about 1/2 mile from the Paine's rooming house where Oswald was staying and right at the path that Oswald would take walking home across Houston St. (and the viaduct bridge). 3) Further, Tippit's location at the gas station would place him just 2 miles from Dealey plaza and in between both Dealey Plaza and the Paine's house (2 miles) - and just on the other side of the bridge. In other words he was there to intercept Oswald. It's possible he had orders from Jack Ruby to eliminate Oswald (would explain why Ruby then had to do the job himself - but on who's orders?) 4) The gas station location is ALSO between Dealey Plaza and the Texas Theater (1.6 miles) where Oswald was arrested. The theater is also location just 1.1 miles from Paine's house. 5) The Paine's house is just 1.5 miles from where Jack Ruby lived at the time (223 S. Ewing Ave., Dallas).

[@vincenzodangelo127]

This is what happened that morning of November 22, 1963 in Dallas and the Zapruder video speaks very clearly. The presidential limousine takes Elm Street and after a few meters the first shot fired by Nicoletti starts who, together with Rosselli, was hidden in the Dal Tex Building. The first bullet misses its target and hits the sidewalk of the triple railroad crossing at the end of the square and a splinter ends up in the face of James Tague, a passerby who was standing there. The second bullet hits Kennedy in the throat, and as you can see in the footage, the president puts his hands around his neck and Governor Connally turns back to understand what happened. The third bullet misses and ends up on the lawn where it is later found by an FBI man and Deputy Buddy Walthers. The fourth bullet hits Connally who emits a grimace of pain as seen in the video and brings his right hand to his stomach because he accuses an immediate pain and then the bullet pierces his right wrist and plants itself in the thigh of his left leg. The fifth bullet hits Kennedy in the back of the head and the sixth bullet, fired by James Files hiding on the grassy knoll half a second after the fifth shot, shoots both Kennedy's blood and head back, and the brain leaking was due to pressure. of the sixth bullet that had left an apple-sized hole behind Kennedy's head, as evidenced by photos of 14 people bringing their hands to the same spot on their heads. I say with certainty that the bullets were 6 because it seems that a shot was fired about every three seconds, that is the time to reload the rifle. Returning to Connally, which is the key to clarifying the mystery well, there is a lot to say. 1) First of all, from the angle in which Oswald would have found himself firing, which was about 45 degrees, only Kennedy would have been hit and no one else, the bullet could not in any way make a deviation and then hit the governor. 2) When Kennedy is shot Connally turns around to see what happens and stays there for about three seconds, the time to reload the shot in the rifle; if the governor had been hit by the magic bullet, at the same time as the president, he would have had the same reaction as Kennedy and would have neither the way nor the strength to look back. 3) The governor Connally when he is wounded is still turned and you see a grimace of pain as I mentioned before him and then turn forward again and collapse on his wife's legs. 4) In the video you can see how Connally bumps his head in front of the glass that separates him from the driver's and assistant's seats. 5) Do you know why Connally was hit? Both because Kennedy threw himself on his wife's right shoulder, because bending over did not hinder the trajectory of the fourth bullet that almost grazed him hitting the governor, and because the shot was fired by Nicoletti from the window of the Dal Tex Building and reached the governor, because Kennedy was leaning towards his wife. So, not only does the first missile reveal where the shot really came from, but also what hit Connally. Indisputable and real evidence, but unfortunately denied by many, including the Warren commission which veiled so much evidence.

Interesting JD Tippet was given the nickname “JFK” by his colleagues, because he was a dead ringer for… JFK. There is an interesting theory that Tippet was killed so that when JFK’s body was illegally moved from Parkland to Washington, JFK’s body was swapped with his doppelgänger… JD Tippet, likely on AF1 enroute to Andrews. Renound Dallas mortician, Dr Liggit who was an expert in facial reconstruction was press ganged on Nov 22nd and used to manipulate Tippets body to appear more in the likeness of JFK, but without evidence of shots from the front. Others believe Dr Liggit was simply used to make JFK ‘more presentable’. It’s well known that JFKs body was swapped out of the brown coffin and into a silver/grey military coffin. The brown coffin the world saw being lowered out of AF1 at Andrews was either empty…or contained the enhanced Tippet cadaver, dressed up by Dr Liggit. The autopsy on “Kennedy” at Bethesda was apparently Tippets body…but without any evidence of shots from the front. The famous autopsy photos of “Kennedy” on the gurney, many believe is not Kennedy, but Tippets body. When Jackie Kennedy saw the dead body in the open casket on the day of the funeral, Mrs Kennedy reportedly shouted, “that’s not my husband!” It wasn’t her husband. The body she saw was JD Tippet. It’s likely JD Tippet who’s buried in Arlington! The government and the CIA needed to control the narrative. So Kennedy’s body was illegally moved out of Dallas, rushed to Washington, likely swapped was another cadaver (JD Tippet’s) so that the narrative of a lone crazed gunman can be pushed on the American public. Swapping dead bodies after orchestrating a coup de’etat to hide evidence was (is) a CIA speciality.

Someone suggested that Tippit was connected with Jack Ruby . One of the officers that Ruby had corrupted . Ruby had come to Dallas years before with the purpose of opening up a seedy night club to see how many Dallas police officers he could corrupt to help the Chicago outfit to gain a foothold in the city. Thereby making Tippit indirectly connected with the underworld. It was supposedly Tippit's job to eliminate Oswald after the assassination. For while the CIA , the MOB , and the Texas oil men who hated Kennedy wanted to make Oswald look like the patsy they also didn't want Oswald around to talk . Tippit failed to find Odwald. Hence the panicky searching of Andrews car. And in the confusion he ran into someone else who was sent to take out Oswald and when Tippit thinking that the guy might be Oswald asked for his I.D. . The guy being a professional hitman didn't want to be IDentified and pulled his gun and shot Tippit ! There were three different confused plans about how to get rid of Oswald after the assaination. The CIA had a plan. The Chicago mob leaders had a plan. And Jack Ruby the mob's underling had his own plan. Ruby's plan was to send his corrupted police officer Tippit to get rid of Oswald. When that didn't happen Ruby was informed by his mob bosses that unless he found a way to get Oswald taken care of that him and then his family would be killed mafia style . Ruby being fearful used his familiarity with the dallas police to get close enough to Oswald to get the job done.

My interest in the case is new, and I admittedly haven't actually read anything about it per se. The problem I'm running into is that I've been able to confirm any biases I might have about it and any questions I have also seem to have a million answers ranging from jilted lovers developing cancer viruses together for the purposes of destabilizing the Cuban goverment to folks shooting eachother through storm drains to body doubles who really need to be at movie theaters on time. It's the most convoluted subject I've ever tried to learn anything about. My takeaway so far is that no one will ever know exactly what happened and don't go to jail in Dallas for any reason. The facts of the matter are buried and gone at this point.

Lol guys tippit was shot with an automatic. Oswald had a revolver. When tippit was shot . Oswald was in the Texas theatre + when Kennedy was shot he was eating his lunch .he never shot anyone + he never lied .

[@jerrilampon9596]

Than, there was no automatic firearm involved. All four shell casings found at the scene were .38 specials. Tippit was shot at approximately 1:15pm. Oswald slipped into the Texas Theater about 1:45 and was arrested at the theater at about 1:50. Four witnesses in the immediate vicinity of the shooting identified Oswald shoot, reload and leave the scene toward E. Jefferson. Other witnesses saw Oswald afterward heading west on E. Jefferson. Oswald was NOT eating lunch when JFK was shot. A common lie promoted by those who have books to sell.

[@jerrilampon9596]

@Jeff Glines Your statement that Oswald had only "FOUR" spare rounds is incorrect. Oswald reloaded the four spent shells with four live rounds as he left the scene of the shooting. He had five additional rounds in his pocket at the time of his arrest (www.maryferrell.org/photos.html?set=NARA-38CASES) After Oswald’s arrests at the Texas Theater, he was placed in right rear of an unmarked squad car. Officer C.T. Walker got into the rear seat, Paul Bentley got in the left rear door. Ken Lyon was in the middle front seat and Detective Bob Carroll drove. As Carroll got into the car, he reached into his belt and pulled out the pistol taken from Oswald and handed it to Gerald Hill and asked Carroll whose pistol it was, was it his (Carroll’s). “No, it is the suspect’s”. Hill thought the suspect who shot Tippitt was armed with an automatic weapon. He was wrong. Hill then broke open the cylinder and counted six live rounds. Several witnesses saw Oswald leave the shooting scene saw him shaking empty cartridges from his pistol. Two empty shells were found by Domingo Benavides, placed in an empty cigarette pack and turned over to Patrolman Joe Poe. Two additional cartridges were found later, one by Barbara Davis, the other was found later by Virginia Davis, Barbara’s sister turned over to DPD later that evening.
