Talk:J. D. Tippit

message: I, like everyone else, have always thought that JD stood for Jefferson Davis, but I just learned via Dale Myers book that JD doesn't stand for anything at all. Myers quotes JD's brother Wayne Tippit as saying "It was just an initial name". (page 588) and, well, the guy's brother is a pretty authoritative source. Gamaliel 09:25, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: I think you both missed Gamaliel's point. Myers refers to the brother as Wayne but the census lists him as Donald R. So if, and emphasizing the if, Myers got the name wrong, maybe he's wrong about the JD too. Or maybe somebody claiming to be JD's brother sold him a false story.

message: Hi. I am responsible for the overhaul of this page. I have tried to lay out both the Warren Commission's version of Tippit's murder as well as the criticism of the Commission in a fair and accurate manner. I welcome you comments. Joegoodfriend 23:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I took out the statement of the Dallas DA because it may give his opinion undue weight, as he never had a chance to really develop a case and his opinion may have changed as the investigation continued.  I also linked this article to the "theories" article and to LHO for clarity.  I also took out language like "substantial" in various parts because they usually violate NPOV.  Otherwise, I don't have much problem with what was added.  Although some other editors may want to challenge the books as reliable sources.  I won't get into that, I'm sure the publisher put these works through some sort of fact checking process before putting the information out. Ramsquire (throw me a line) 23:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Page overhaul

message: It's stated by some investigators that Oswald went up and shot him in the temple (after shooting him three times), apparently no witness sees Oswald going close to Tippit and shooting him. Plus, Tippit's entrance wound does not bear any gunpowder burns. Detective Jim Leavelle himself has stated that "he wouldn't go up to him, he's trying to run away". In any case, Oswald fired ALL four shots from over the car.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.48.255 (talk) 00:49, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

message: I have removed the article's claim that:
:The Commission incorrectly concluded that Domingo Benavides called police from Tippit’s radio immediately after the killing. Benavides had testified that he did not approach the car "for a few minutes" after the shooting, (Warren Commission Hearings Vol. VI, p.448) and even then he was unable to use the radio.
From his testimony to the Warren Commission:
:Mr. Benavides: I saw him as he was falling. The door was about half way open, and he was right in front of the door, and just about in front of the fender. I would say he was between the door and the front headlight, about middleway when he started to fall. . . .
:Mr. Belin: Then what did you do?
:Mr. Benavides: Then I don't know if I opened the car door back further than what it was or not, but anyway, I went in and pulled the radio and I mashed the button and told them that an officer had been shot, and I didn't get an answer, so I said it again, and this guy asked me whereabouts all of a sudden, and I said, on 10th Street. I couldn't remember where it was at at the time. So I looked up and I seen this number and I said 410 East 10th Street.

message: I have removed the article's claim that:
:There is also evidence to indicate that the cartridge shells recovered from the scene may not have been those subsequently entered into evidence.  Two of the shells recovered at the scene were given to police officer J.M. Poe, who marked them with his initials. (Warren Commission Hearings Vol. VII, p.69) However, no initials were found on the shells later produced by the police.(Warren Commission Hearings Vol. XXIV, p.131-5.)
Officer Poe specifically testified he was not sure whether he initialed the cartridges or not. From his testimony to the Warren Commission, vol. VII, p. 69:
:Mr. Ball: Now, I have here a package which has been marked "Q"--FBI lab. Q-74 to Q-77. Would you look those over and see if there is any identification on there by you to indicate that those were the hulls given to you by Benavides?
:Mr. Poe: I want to say these two are mine, but I couldn't swear to it.
:Mr. Ball: Did you make a mark?
:Mr. Poe: I can't swear to it; no, sir.

message: Mark Lane was notoriously manipulative in his telephone conversation with witness Helen Markham. He repeatedly tried to get her to say that Tippit's killer was "short, heavy, and with bushy hair." A transcript from Lane's own book. Mrs. Markham identified Tippit's killer as Oswald at the police lineup on Nov. 22, 1963, the day of the assassination, she identified Tippit's killer as Oswald in her telephone conversation with Mark Lane on March 2, 1964, and she identified Tippit's killer as Oswald in her Warren Commission testimony on March 26, 1964. — Walloon 01:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Here are the teenage boys from Oswald's police lineups at 4:35 and 6:30 p.m. on November 22, 1963, the first two of his four lineups. The other men in his third lineup, at 7:55 p.m. that day, were Richard Walter Borchgardt (born 30 May 1940), Ellis Carl Brazel (born 24 Nov 1941), and jail clerk Don Ables. The other men in Oswald's fourth and last lineup, at 2:55 p.m. on November 23, were John Thurman Horn (born 6 November 1945), David Knapp, 18, and Daniel Lujan (born 15 February 1937). — Walloon 05:32, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "The original police transcript in the National Archives also lists the time of transmission as 1:10 PM. Reference: Armstrong, John, Harvey, Lee and Tippit: A New Look at the Tippit Shooting, Probe Magazine, Vol. 5, No.2."
Not true. Verbal time stamps made by the Dallas Police dispatcher show that the first report of the Tippit shooting was transmitted over Channel 1 some time between 1:16 and 1:19 p.m. (Click on the speaker icon at the bottom right of each highlighted section to hear the recording.) Specifically, the transmission by T.F. Bowley from the site of Tippit's shooting begins 1 minute 41 seconds after the 1:16 time stamp. The original transcript also reports that the first report of the Tippit shooting was transmitted some time after the 1:16 time stamp. — Walloon 05:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have found several references to the transcript with the 1:10 timestamp, but I haven't seen the actual copy. Suffice to say that if it exists, it contradicts the evidence above.

text: Further[,] the appearance of cartridge shells at the crime scene raises question[s] for some because, according to Officer Hill, who took possession of Oswald's revolver at his arrest, the gun's six chambers were fully loaded with unspent cartiridges and that Oswald had no loose ammunition on his person.
What questions does it raise? Oswald was arrested about a half hour after the shooting of Office Tippit. Is that passage implying that Oswald didn't have time to reload his pistol in a half hour? — Walloon 04:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's any indication that Poe "saw" an automatic. I believe he indicated in his preliminary report that the evidence was suggestive of an automatic. Specifically, the fact that the casings were lying on the ground. An automatic ejects its casings, a revolver doesn't. Poe probably didn't think Oswald was crazy enough to empty the casings and reload right at the crime scene. Poe didn't know Oswald. Joegoodfriend (talk) 21:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

message: ::Seeing as Tippit was driving east and Oswald was walking in the same direction, Officer Tippit had to have been behind Oswald-yet he was convinced that the slender white man walking ahead of him just had to be the 5'10, 165 pound, thirty year old, white man who had assssinated the President three miles away, less than an hour before. Pretty good reckoning for a guy who never went beyond the 10th grade in high school.--jeanne (talk) 17:16, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's pretty insulting to imply that someone with a 10th grade education was stupid. Are you saying with a higher education Tippit could have better recognized Oswald? Tippit actually had two years of vocational training before he was hired as a police officer, and served as a patrol cop for eleven years before he was killed. Second point: There is evidence that Oswald was walking west on Tenth St., and turned around and began walking the opposite direction, away from Tippit's squad car, which was traveling east, when Tippit approached him. Half of the witnesses who saw Oswald on Tenth (before he met Tippit) said he was walking west; the other half of the witnesses, who saw Oswald only as he encountered Tippit, said he was traveling or facing east. See the section Why Tippit stopped Oswald of Dale K. Myers' blog. Myers wrote an entire book about the Tippit killing. — Walloon (talk) 20:23, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Gasway or Gasaway

message: I have removed two paragraphs by Mardude containing erroneous information about Tippit shooting witness Domingo Benavides, and post-shooting witness Warren Reynolds. First, it claims, "His [Reynolds'] shooter, Darrell Garner, was caught and not convicted". Garner was never charged with the shooting. Garner was arrested because earlier that day he had been on the Reynolds car lot trying to sell a car without a title, and became very angry with Reynolds. No other evidence linked him to the shooting, and he was eventually released. It is unfounded and impermissible to say that Garner was Reynolds' shooter. Mardude also writes that Garner's girlfriend, Betty MacDonald, "was a former employee of Jack Ruby, a stripper at the Carousel Club." The Warren Commission investigated and found she had never worked there (Warren Report, p. 663).
Mardude also wrote, "[Domingo] Benavides look-alike brother Eddy Benavides was killed by a shot in the back of the head in a beer joint on Second Avenue in Dallas. Since the case remained unsolved, J.W. Jackson, Domingo's father-in-law, did some investigating himself." Actually, Edward Benavides was shot by a drinking companion, who confessed to the killing and served twenty months in prison for manslaughter. — Walloon (talk) 16:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have restored this section of the article to its long-standing consensus text. This text should not be deleted with the idea that the subject is covered in other articles. First of all, it is not in fact covered in other articles, and second, the details of JD Tippitt's murder are appropriate to this article.

replies: text: I have reverted this change. The subject of dissenting theories involving Tippit is covered sufficiently in John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories. In fact, this section was copied verbatim from it. An editor above put it correctly that the amount of text devoted to those theories was much more than that devoted to the official version... and that is a violation of WP:UNDUE. Elaborating on discrepancies based solely on primary sources is a violation of WP:OR. The secondary sources that elaborate on those discrepancies do so in the context of various conspiracy theories and that also warrants the "Main article" tag.

message: Myers' book With Malice is cited several times but the book was self-published. According to Wikipedia guidelines:
:Self Published Sources
:Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs (as distinguished from newsblogs, above), Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.

Myers is known as a computer animation expert and in that capacity did work relating to images of the shooting of JFK.

message: You give Officer Tippit's burial date as Nov 25th. Robert Morningstar insists Officer Tippit was buried the day after he was shot Nov 23. Also the photograph of Officer Tippit is the so called 'Elvis Photograph' which was taken 15 years before he was shot, why is a more recent photograph of the Officer never shown? 
The current theory by some researchers is that it was Officer Tippit, not JFK who was shot in the Limo is Dallas while serving as a 'security stand in double for JFK' . The grounds for this theory are 1 No one anywhere in Dallas can provide credible proof for where Officer Tippit was on the day of the shooting. 2 Officer Tippit was a virtual twin of JFK and was the but of friendly jokes by his fellow Dallas Officers who called him 'Jack Tippit' after JFK. 3 there was a closed casket at the fallen Officers (alleged funeral) in which he was hurriedly buried (supposedly). The photographs of the 'President' in Bethsada Hospital look nothing like JFK they do resemble Officer Tippit. There was no conspiracy to kill JFK that day in Dallas, simply a security operation that went tragically wrong. The motive for the sensless murder of Officer Tippit while acting as a stand in was indignation at the 'fake' parade. 
My sources for most of the data about Dallas Nov 22 are from the work of Robert Morningstar, but I have left out his frankly unbelievable theory that Officer Tippit was shot to provide a corpse for an autopsy. All the 'Mob Plots' 'CIA Plots' and goodness knows whatever els nonsense stories are just cover smoke to hide a tragic, but understandable failure of security in Dallas that day.
