Their descriptions of the man they saw were almost completely opposite.

Gee, they did a PRETTY GOOD job of tracking Oswald on the streets there in Oak Cliff GIVEN that description ... WHAT do you want to bet the man who watched Tippet get shot IDENTIFIED Oswald in a lineup?

(CONVICTIONS are NOT made on the basis of 'descriptions' but by IDENTIFICATION of the guilty by a sworn WITNESS'S testimony. It ALSO helps that they recovered Oswald's .38 on him and they later matched hammer-marks to that "bored out" .38)

I want it to be clear that I am not one of the folks who thinks that to Dallas PD was involved- because if they had been, Oswald would have been shot multiple times in the theater, and no questions would have been asked. I think the Jack Ruby thing was actually a coincidence- it was much too uncertain to succeed in silencing Oswald, and a real professional would have come up with a better plan to get rid of old Lee Harvey than having some nutjob shoot him ONCE with a .38. (For the record, I have seen a man take three AK-47 rounds through the chest at nipple level, and survive to return to active duty).

I do think the police were overwhelmed, and allowed too much press access and so on- and the description of the line-ups in which Oswald appeared were pretty lame.

It was the FBI that was "tracking" Oswald, not the Dallas police. Isn't that a little strange. The policeman that arrested Oswald was directed to the theater by the FBI!

They lined Oswald up with Mexicans. Of course they're going to pick him.
