Remembering Officer J.D. Tippit 

Marie finally was able to reunite with her husband after almost 60 years ❤️ Fly High Marie Frances Gasway Tippit 🕊 October 28, 1928 - Mar 02, 2021 (92)

A much deserved honor and recognition. Rip Officer JD Tippit. So sweet the love of his family and friends.

God Bless Mrs Marie Tippit, may you rest in peace now, together with your husband again. Condolences and prayers are with your family, from Matlock in Derbyshire, England.

Marie is so sweet and you can tell she really loved and still loves her husband. 😥

A brave officer JD Tippit died that day in the line of duty. in Dallas.

Ms. Marie Tippit is a terrific lady, along with her daughter and two sons. God Bless J.D. and his surviving family..

What a lovely lady and family. It's a shame what happened to them.

My goodness. I knew “Ms. Tippit” would be a little older but it was a surprise to see how old. It was so long ago, but it seems like yesterday. It is so sad that JD never what the chance to grow old with his family.

Very blessed to accompany Brenda at the 2008 Dallas officer memorial. I was overwhelmed, appreciative, and very fortunate to be in the company of such a wonderful person. I doubt anyone, including myself, could possibly fathom the impact of how this tragic and very public murder might have affected officer Tippit's children. I can only speak of what I know, I think Brenda's a Gem.

Its sad that this mans life and death is usually forgotten and looked over because of what happened that day. Its good he's getting this recognition

I live right where Mr. Tippit got shot!! Right at the corner of 10th Street and Patton Avenue in Dallas Texas. I've met people from all over the world. I've become a minor celebrity over the years.

Lovely family of Officer Tippett, it was so great to see their home pics.

Mrs. Tippet was so sweet. RIP. Officer Tibbet and Mrs. Tippet

It was so great to see the home movies of officer Tippit and his young bride Marie (what a sweetie!). All I've ever seen all these 50 years later was just that one stock photo from the police department. J.D. and his wife both had great smiles to share with us. Thanks for those memories:)

Marie was a GORGEOUS young lady and still is....beautiful eyes...

R.I.P. I was there that day.

Miss Marie Tippit recently died of COVID at age 92, in March 2021.

Thanks for sharing this, it was an honor to meet the family, very nice people. Curtis is just a little younger than me.

I was lucky enough not to live through the 60s and 70s, but everything I’ve read and watched make me feel present times resemble those dark days. The high rates of violent crimes, and the inexplicable ingratitude of the public toward peace officers. This even seems like the start of all that back then, and I think it didn’t correct until the 80s. God bless this officer and his whole family and community.

Very nice, particularly enjoyed seeing the home movie clips.

SO SAD for Marie Tippit and Marina Oswald but at least they both ended up very rich ladies from donations. Abraham Zapruder gave $25,000 (one quarter) of his zapruder assassination video sale to Marie Tippit.

Ballistic testing can determine whether or not an empty shell casing was fired from a specific weapon to the exclusion of every other weapon in the entire world. Before shooting, the shell casing is placed against the breech face and the firing pin. When the pin strikes the primer, the bullet is fired off and the shell casing is thrust against the breech face of the weapon. This causes a permanent mark on the base of the empty shell, i.e. the distinctive fine lines etched onto the breech face put their "fingerprint" on the base of the empty shell. Joseph Nicol (Superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for the State of Illinois) along with Cortlandt Cunningham, Robert Frazier and Charles Killion (of the Firearms Identification Unit of the FBI Laboratory in Washington D.C.) each examined the shells found at the Tippit scene and Oswald's revolver, which he ordered from Seaport Traders, Inc. Each of these experts determined that the shells were linked (through ballistics) to Oswald's revolver, to the exclusion of every other weapon in the world.

Was good to see the Tippit family..past and present!!

Wow, it is amazing to after 55 years, first see home movies of J.D Tippit and to meet his family.! I wonder why it took so long.? It's good to have only positive feelings to a Tippit as his family are nice, good people. For the moment I could drop my thoughts about All the unanswered questions.!

As a former law enforcement officer and Kennedy assassination research (medical evidence specialist), this makes me realize how I need to spend some time focusing on JD Tippit. That was such a touching gesture by the Dallas Police Chief presenting the Tippit badge to Mrs. Tippit...and she was such an amazing lady. I wish the entire Tippit family the best.

Excellent program!

Please add subtitles because the audio, especially for Mrs Tippit, is woeful !

Great event, but the audio is unfortunately quite awful. Someone needs to process the audio to compensate for how muffled all the microphones seem to be.

I have grave doubts that the truth of JFK's murder was even close to the Warren Commission's conclusion but I always felt this officer was a simple exceptional man who saw his duty and didn't hesitate to step into the gap.

WOW !! Tomorrow, 26 December 2021, would have been their anniversary !! Their other son passed away.

NO policeman deserves the hateful treatment that Officer J.D. TIPPIT was subjected too in Dallas suburbs.

Feel for his family...but,...a lot of unanswered questions about the Tippit murder, eye witnesses vary on what, and who they saw do the killing of officer Tippit.

So, was the gun a revolver or an automatic Did the shell casings really match Oswald's pistol? I just started looking on fb about info.Alot of differing opinions expressed.I love the comments.Can't we all get along?Peace!!

Mark yes they did

I have one question.....Did a "reputable" individual or firm (and by reputable, I mean one that had NO Agenda whatsoever) ever match the bullets/gun that killed Officer Tippit with the gun L.H. Oswald had at the Texas Theater?

Some people have even insinuated that he was the shooter at the grassy knoll that had to be eliminated for that so it's a vast world of conspiracies out there

🇺🇸

First off I would think that for the first sit down interview with the wife and children of officer Tippit that they WOULD HAVE A GREAT AUDIO SYSTEM.!!!! WTF.!???? Audio SUCKS.!!

It it true about the Ss agent having fired his gun. I have only heard this a few times and no speculations

Does Gary disavow his badge man find?

Magoo no unanswered questions Oswald did it if not he would have not been charged witnesses make mistakes and sometimes they make stuff up or want publicity as Mrs tippit said did you know they found Oswald coat discarded near the scene unless you think Oswald was there and did not do it which is insane

FIRST OF ALL BEFORE IT IS JD TIPPIT IT WAS JD POWERS AND BEFORE THAT IT WAS JD KURT!!

Noone ever asks them how they feel about everyone saying that Oswald without a doubt was the person who alone shot JD Tippet, but officer Tippet had two different types of bullets in him. The two could not be used in the same gun.

After all these decades, a chance to be introduced to this actual family represented by what, to most of us, has only been a name oft stated in the news, the name “Officer J.D. Tippit.” They are kind and loving people who have suffered a terrible loss that echoes because of their fame.I wish them only the best.

Tipit sa stretol s Jack Ruby 14.11. 1963 , prečo ?

JD Tippit lived at Lovefield, Dallas

Poor J.D. Tippit. Yes LHO gun was matched to the bulletsthat

I think officer Tipit ran into someone involved maybe Oswald or one of the killers

The conspiracy buffs dont say nothing about the fact that they found his jacket discarded

I feel for the Tippit family. There is no evidence whatsoever, that Officer Tippit was doing anything other than patrolling the for a suspect everyone was on the lookout for. He stopped Oswald and was killed by a desperate man trying to evade authorities. However, while I do believe that Oswald shot twice at the President, the 3rd and fatal shot which occurred, nearly on top of Oswald’s 2nd shot, came from the secret service follow up car. One of Oswald’s dispensed shell casings, was as expert Howard Donahue explained, already in the gun chamber when Oswald had brought it to the book depository. Which would mean Oswald got off only 2 shots. As Oswalds 2nd shot hit the President in the back, a third shot, as witnesses described came way to fast to have been a shot from Oswald. Additionally, Oswald’s bullets were full jacketed rounds, they behaved as these rounds did when Kennedy was shot with the 2nd shot fired into his back and this bullet passed out his throat injuring Gov Connelly. Oswald’s first shot missed the President completely and struck the street. However, the 3rd shot, the head shot came immediately after the 2nd way too soon for Oswald to have operated the bolt action of his rifle and this 3rd shot was a completely different round causing exploding injuries to the Presidents head. Everyone can see this. The only other weapon known to be exhibited that day is the AR rifle the secret service agent had raised up with when the shooting began and this was in the follow up car. The head wound Kennedy suffered was exactly the kind a bullet from this weapon would caused because it was an exploding round or frangible bullet, completely different than Oswald’s. Which explains, why the secret service, were intent on removing the Presidents body from Dallas without an autopsy, and subsequently, controlled all the Bethesda autopsy evidence, xrays, bullet fragments, personnel.........Why did the secret service not initially explain that Agent George Hickey had been waving around the machine gun behind the Presidents limousine? And how does the fact that many witnesses in vehicles following the secret service vehicle smelled smoke or gunpowder as they slowly drove through the spot directly after the quick 3rd shot, the Kennedy head shot? I truly believe Mr Howard Donahue has solved this case years ago, when he himself as a ballistics expert initially recognized, that Oswald’s bullets could not possible have caused the exploding head wound to President Kennedy.

Witnesses said they also saw a man taken from the balcony and out the back door also witnesses saw two men at the Tippit shooting and another police car,Oswald never shot anyone and Tippits actiions that day were very strange, Oswald may have shot Tippit? But there was another man there also and another police car was seen around the corner

I believe that Officer Tippit was horribly betrayed by his own fellow DPD officers; And parties unknown.

It's a damn shame they a made a conspiracy about who killed her husband

It was the CIA double that shot Officer Tippet. There were two rifles found on the 6th floor, not one. Oswald was not on the 6th floor when JFK was killed. He was in the lunch room. This documentary has very little to do with the actual events. The assassination was solved by noted author Gaylon Ross Sr. whose interview is on RU-vid. Malcolm Wallace, LBJ's personal hit man, was shooting from the supposed Oswald perch on the 6th floor. 11 shots were fired in Daley Plaza. 4 hit JFK, 3 hit Connally, 2 hit the limo and 2 went wild into the grass or struck a pedestrian. There were 4 or 5 shooters. The Texas Mafia provided the shooters. LBJ ran the Texas Mafia. Do the math.

Cobra 53 yea sure and I'm bigfoot

If, as insensitive conspiracy "theorists" keep insisting on here, Oswald was not guilty of the murder of Tippit, he has to have been framed, yes? The conspiracy out to frame him (for some reason they decided to take countless risks framing him for another murder when he was already being hunted down for Kennedy anyway), if it doesn't just want to end up confirming a conspiracy, would have to be absolutely certain, in advance, of *all* of the following things, that: (A) Oswald owns a revolver (B) the revolver is at the rooming house (C) Oswald will immediately flee the TSBD and successfully escape the plaza (D) Oswald will take suspiciously evasive action back to his rooming house and say nothing to the cab driver or his landlady (E) Oswald will go to his rooming house at all (F) A police officer will be driving at 10th and Patton in Oak Cliff at exactly the right time for a conspiracy to shoot him (G) Oswald's movements will make it possible to plausibly place him at the crime scene (H) they have found an imposter shooter who looks so much like Oswald he can fool witnesses and have him hanging around on the right street in Oak Cliff (I) Tippit won't simply get lucky, outdraw the imposter and kill capture him (J) nobody will ever see the imposter before the shooting, during his escape from Oak Cliff, or, indeed, ever again (K) nobody will ever see Oswald anywhere other than at 10th and Patton during the shooting (L) both the ballistics boys and the arresting officers on the Dallas P.D., who were all minding their own business the previous day, can be safely approached and recruited to risk their necks in what they know will be a hugely scrutinized case, obey illegal orders to commit horrific crimes, make themselves accessories to capital murder and treason, happily send an innocent man to the chair, and bend over backwards to help out the perpetrators of the slaying of a decorated brother police officer with a wife and three children, then go back to being career cops afterwards as though nothing happened and remain to the last man utterly loyal to this obscene coup they'll never crack, confess or start blackmailing the conspiracy until if falls apart, as long as every one of them lives (M) a steady chain of witnesses (including ones alive and well to this day) can all be counted on to lie about what they saw at the crime scene, along Oswald's flight route, and in the theater, all for the rest of their lives without cracking, confessing, etc. (N) Oswald can be counted on to obligingly help frame himself by trying to shoot Officer MacDonald in the theater and fight like a demon as he is arrested only minutes later (O) Oswald, allowed to address the entire world on live TV, and by now knowing full well he is at the very least facing the electric chair as a cop killer and being hung out to dry, will not jump up and down in a panic, tearfully screaming his innocence, or express one iota of horror or sympathy for the victims, or beg protection for his family, or make the slightest attempt to spill what he knows or suspects about a conspiracy, and will instead just restrict himself to rather passively mumbling away about generic "legal assistance" and complain the cop he tried to shoot had the nerve to punch him while disarming him....

The other cop who said it was a Mauser I literally just watched a interview he did and this man was fired because he wouldn’t be told when he was asked what happened, he wouldn’t say nothing and that he seen nothing. They tried 4 times to kill him and on the 5th they did. The other officer said it was a Mauser because of a stamp on the gun and it was a gun used in the war plus it had the name of the damn gun on it. The cops name is Roger Craig and my heart truly truly breaks for this man. His story is on here it’s 20 minutes or there’s a 45 minute video I suggest you watch it, I can tell this man wasn’t lying and lost his job and life because he wouldn’t lie literally. R.I.P to officer Craig and Tippit.

what a set-up! so all those people just happened to be at the theater, when Oswald was arrested and brought out???? Tippit was sent to silence Oswald. just didn't work out that way.

Worst microphones in the history of recorded speech! Fix it fools!

Hoover didnt know jack shit what was going on.Many mistakes.

The FBI released information from 1963 where a FBI informant had given them a note stating that Patrolman JD Tippit was the actual shooter and that Tippit was the head of the Right Wing John Birch Society in Dallas, Tippit had meet with Ruby and a third party who was possibly Oswald. Tippit served in the military during WW2 but his Military record was wiped clean we do know he was a Paratrooper. His eldest son did state that his father was acting strangely that morning his father had told him "If anything happens today I love you son"

Tippit may have been at Dealy shooting JFK....SMH.....

I would like to know who really killed Tippit.

It's my opinion that after Oswald assassinated JFK, he went back to his boarding house to get his revolver, and then tried to somehow make it to the Paine household to create a hostage situation or worse! Probably because he blamed Marina for NOT taking him back the night before. When Officer Tippit intercepted Lee, Oswald murdered Officer Tippit, putting Oswald on a different path. Officer Tippit probably saved everyone's Lives in the Paine household that day by confronting Lee on 11/22/1963.

Is the "Sixth Floor Museum" some sort of penance the people of Dallas feel they must serve to atone for Kennedy's assassination in their city? If your purpose is to make JFK's assassination live on in infamy like the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, you're doing a superior job of it. I'd like to suggest the city do something positive about the future rather than dedicating itself to a cold-blooded murder in its past.

Rip. But another sad thing is, that his stupid killer was never been arrested. Oswald was not his killer, just not like the killer of Mr.Kennedy.

Was he a free mason ? Or far right anti Kennedy ? Badge man had a police uniform on ,, it only makes sence someone try’s to investigate see what weeds can be dug up 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🎶

Did you people know two separate men Harvey and Lee Oswald now share the same grave in Fort Worth Texas (?) No disrespect, the whole event stinks to high heaven. Even the singer/songwriter Bob Dylan has weighed in with a new song titled Murder Most Foul. Time to wake up.

Tippit was “Badgeman” and Oswald didn’t shoot him.

Why did Oswald walked round his neighbourhood after the murder? I suspect that Tippit had a conversation about the assasination, and wanted to shoot Oswald, but by stepping out of the police-car, Oswald could know that, and when moving his hand to his hand to his gun, Oswald was faster, and not only shot him instinctly in the chest and shut him up for ever professionally in the temple, like J.F Kennedy. Tippit gulched his lunch and rushed to? I think he was the second shooter, I felt it, when I saw his charactaristics on his photo, s. Oswald was seen on the scene by police-men in the building. By shooting Tippit if he did it, made the people around it, from the Klan save, because he knew he was seen in the building, and so than it was easy to kill the second shooter and elliminate any risk of the truth coming out, about KKK, INVOLVEMENT. Exactly 100 years earlier president Lincoln who is also addicted to amfetamines etc, dies with a bullet in the back of his head, while it,s not sure it was the bullet or his severe health-issues. And both won the election with the promise that brown people get more rights etc, and the klan, involved with police-force, did not want brown people to get equal rights. It,s over 50 years ago, so I can,t really hurt no feelings of loved-one, but it always hurts, I know by experience. GREETINGS FROM HOLLAND (mastermind in crimes of history, Jack the Ripper, Julius Caesar, it will shock the world if the truth that I explain about J.C turns out to be true, and maybe more so with the truth that I have searched for, for so long about London, Jack and new identity, the mayor that,s been replaced and a man from Holland, called Jaques, I reveal his last name later when I get attention, but he was a well known poet and still is. But there is a second English person who also got a new identity, because of medical experimentings, and died also supposedly before his thirty,s) But there is a third party involved, a queen, who ordered an officer to replace the mayor because the conspiracy was in danger. The stories are so long to explain, especially about Jesus and Julius, it would be insane to tell it while maybe nobody sees it. Let me know what your questions are if anyone is interested.

They must speak another language in Dallas.

We lost Gary.The president of the lone gunman FACT.

Still believe Tippit was dirty and had something to do with the conspiracy

Let's not forget oswald who was also a victim both were innocent. the guilty party was LBJ and Co.

My understanding of tippitt is that he was a crooked cop and scoundrel!

I am trying to understand the relevance of this interview. The daughter doesn't know much, and just like any elder, she loves the attention. They should have just left her alone.
