JFK Assassination Witness Speaks For 1st Time

4. Why Tippit?

A description went out over the police radio of the suspected shooter. Tippit was patrolling the Oak Cliff area of Dallas and saw Oswald, who was a close enough match to the description (white male, early 30's, around 5'10" and 165; Oswald was 24, with a moderately receding hairline, 5'9" and about 150). He slowed his car to a stop and called Oswald over, exchanged words with him, got out of his car, and got shot by Oswald. Who was seen by multiple witnesses fleeing the scene. The answer "why Tippit" would be "because Oswald had just shot the president". The shooting of Tippit makes no sense, otherwise.

And after the shooting Oswald was wanted for shooting a police officer. The shooting of Tippit was reported on the radio. Oswald was seen acting strangely by the manager of a shoe store (ducking into a doorway and turning his back, pretending to look at something, when police cars were approaching, emerging after they'd gone past), who also saw him duck past the ticket seller at the cinema. The reason for "all hands"? They were acting on the suspicion that the man seen going into the theatre was a cop-killer.
