Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry interviewed in his office at the Dallas Police Department, Dallas, Texas, November 23, 1963 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald.
I will never understand holding the rifle up for the news media,or answering questions directly about the shooting and related to the case.Most of that today would likely cause the case to be dropped.Because t would taint the jury.
As I recall, Curry wanted his police department to be open to public inquiries, to be as transparent as possible. He was obviously unprepared for anything like this totally novel, unprecedented situation. They were just responding in real time to suddenly being the center of attention of the whole world. Nothing like what happened in Dallas would happen today, but that is partly because we have the example of what did happen there, and we learned.
@@briteness Yes, today they wouldn't be so obviously in a hurry to condemn the alleged shooter, so publicly and so quickly. We would only get the evidence they want shown and released. So these vids are priceless.
Hoover ran his bureau well but he himself was a strange person. Loved spying on people and dictated on what and what not to say. He sure did a good job in that area-crazy bastard that he was.
Actually, Curry was pretty open and always thought that others were involved, later writing a book saying this. He pissed off Hoover big time by saying that the FBI did not inform them that Oswald was in Dallas. Curry had to backtrack and say it was not the FBI’s job to tell them about Oswald. But it wasn’t enough. The FBI refused to allow Dallas Police to take FBI training until Curry resigned in 1966.
Curry said the FBI interviewed Oswald 'a week or two ago' then later that day stated that he didn't know if or when the FBI interviewed him .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Doesn't make sense.
There's a police radio recording of Chief Curry telling his men to "get someone over to the railroad yard to check it out" or words to that effect. He was in the car in front of Jfk and he heard something from that area behind the fence.
@@anthonyrobinson6590 You don't need to stand corrected. It is true. But shortly after the assassination a lot of this stuff got scrubbed. It doesn't surprise me that TelevisionArchives was unable to find it.
There may not have been any audio- But Curry admitted years later: That; the motorcycle cop Cheney; ride up; and spoke to him- when they were both going under the triple overpass. On the way to Parkland Hospital. Officer Cheney said to Chief Curry: "The shots were coming from the retaining wall" Curry at that point; called officers to go search the parking lot; behind the grassy knoll. * Curry (IMO)- knew a hell of a lot more than he was saying! 🤔 WHY was he on Air Force One as LBJ was being sworn in? --Instead of looking for the assassin of President Kennedy; back in Dealy Plaza?! Seems a little suspicious to me...
He said this because that was the most immediately accessible high ground in the area to get a view of what was going on. He was almost under the railroad overpass when the shots were fired and had no idea where they came from.
WOw the reporters know more than the chief of police in dallas, how when the reporters wait till information is told by the police or others about a suspect? Russia, maries Connolly etc etc ?Who told them this information, why not one person has done any research about these facts during lee's jail time, plus what about the telephone calls lee tried to make, not one lawyer comes forward to help defend lee's time in jail?
Or the employer knew that Oswald was in the office kitchen, having a drink at that moment. As those officers were in a hurry to get up to the 6th floor. This was all in a matter of minutes. Bc Oswald could NOT have been from there and straight to allegedly shoot Tippit only 20-30 min later. Then the Paraffin test showed he had NOT fired at anyone that day too.
One thing i find interesting is the gun. They say Oswald left the TSBD with it but he left via the front door. Then they say found it on the 6th floor snipers nest and again 6hrs later in Ruth Pains garage. Then its a Mauser that three days later becomes a Manlicker cocano. They said over the police radio that it was a 30cal. The police at the triple overpass and at the hospital said it was a 45. The first reports of the gun in the Tippet case was a semi auto witch later became a 38 revolver.😊
In the Tippit case, witness Ted Callaway saw a man across the street about 50 feet away with a pistol in his hand in a “raised pistol position” that Callaway assumed was an automatic because tgat’s what he used in tge Marines. Detective Gerald Hill thought it was an automatic pistol because he was told the shells were all found close together as if discharged by an automatic pistol and not picked up.
if police genuinly believed that the shots came from the TSBD then they should of sealed it immediatly and every one in it detained and questioned. Instead their first reaction was to go to the rail yard behind the fence near the triple over pass😊
Curry directed his men to go to the overpass to get a view as to what might have happened. When people saw cops heading to the overpass and railroad yards, they followed (which was minutes after the shots were fired
Find and watch the movie, Executive Action. It came out before the doctored Zapruder film. Pulled from theaters two weeks after it's release. This film was way too accurate.
You know Zapruder was put there to film exactly what and how it happened and looked, for later viewing of the culprits. And doctored to fit their narrative.
NONE of the reasons for the assassination given by the conspirators in Executive Action were prevented by the assassination. The Vietnam war was lost and Vietnam went communist, there was a huge civil rights movement, the floodgates of non-White immigration were opened, the USSR achieved nuclear parity, the oil depletion allowance was ended. So they went through a lot of effort for nothing. On the other hand, the assassination plots against Castro declined significantly, there was no invasion of Cuba.
they sure seem to have ready a lot of information about Oswald just day after. how did the reporters find out he sent letter to Connolly or was visited by the FBI? Someone high up mustve fed them this info. Then you have to ask who was shaping the narrative.
The Kennedy family did not seem too eager to have the case investigated thoroughly. They never offered any help or even encouragement to those who did investigate. The supposed existence of a government conspiracy to kill JFK and RFK certainly didn’t discourage them from political involvement.
The dallas police have their own intel division and they knew of lee full stop, even the CIA knew of lee, if you have a 201 file, that means your working for the CIA in a capacity full stop and also the FBI had lee working as a informant, yet the WC staff allen dulles and FBI hoover did not tell the lawyers of the WC staff all, because ford was the FBI ears and eyes during the investigation and Allen Dulles was the CIA man who told them nothing even when the House investigation started the CIA had george joannides make sure that the CIA with held any information about what the CIA knew or worse still told them all bs to make sure that the investigation was all BS?
I feel sorry for Jesse Curry! He did everything in his power to protect President Kennedy, even went as far as to speak on TV asking for the citizens help. And the day after this interview, Oswald gets shot in front of his police officers. How more unlucky can you get??!!
