Tippit: An Alternative Solution
https://www.thenewdisease.space/tippit
Full text relative to the "disturbance" call sheet:
Jackson's "78" transmissions were not answered for the simple reason that Tippit was already dead, and he wisely refrained from dispatching the corpse to handle a disturbance on Tenth Street.
This means the thesis is short one disturbance call, to be supplied by whom? Is it left to the reader to hallucinate a call for the purpose of maintaining the essay's flow of dream sequences? The disturbance at 12th & Marsalis won't work. It was too far away. The Pulte/Brownlow improved version moves it to 10th, but serious problems remain as discussed previously in this thread.
Another pressing question demands an answer. What was the motive? The essay is wishy-washy on this critical issue, vaguely implying that Tippit was killed because he ran afoul of local organized crime. This is not stated in plain words, but if the activities of the local gangs are irrelevant to the murder what is the point of the Bonnie & Clyde stuff?
Tippit ostensibly crossed the gangs on September 2, 1956 when he & his partner shot and killed Leonard Garland. Who in the cast of characters submitted as possible rubout men held a grudge against Tippit going back to 1956? The nominees are James Alford Markham, William Arthur Smith & Jimmy Earl Burt, all barely pubescent when Leonard was killed. Burt, who knew Tippit for three or four years, said they used to call him "Officer Friendly." Evidently the pain inflicted by death on their tender sensibilities had worn off by the mid-teens.
Upshot is the muddled thesis comes undone and falls apart. It does not hold water. Such is what happens when history is reconstructed by recourse to free association and delirium, as if composed in the similitude of a nightmare by Molly Bloom after an evening of bad sex with an out-of-whack Blazes Boylan. There's no way to get the parts to come together & mesh in working order.

BARKER: Well, now, is--you got down to the time when Officer Tippit met his death. What transpired right prior to that? Did you--were you aware of where he was all the time?
JACKSON: No, I asked him once again what his location was sometime after and to determine that he was in the Oak Cliff area, he said he was at Lancaster and Eighth, which is on the east side of Oak Cliff, on the--in the main business district. And I did ask him once again, a few minutes later what his--I called him to ask him his location so I could keep track of him, where he was, in my mind, but he didn't answer.
BARKER: When did you realize that he was dead?
JACKSON: We had received a call from a citizen. They called us on the telephone and the call sheet came--came to me and there was a disturbance in the street in the 400 block of East Tenth. And I had called. I said, "78," and he didn't answer. And almost immediately to this, a citizen came in on the police radio and said, "Send me some help there's been an officer shot out here." And knowing that J. D. was the only one that should have been in Oak Cliff, my reaction was to call 78, and, of course, J. D. didn't answer. So, we asked the citizen to look at the--the number on the side of the car. This was the equipment number that determined which car, which patrol car, was to be on each assigned district, and they said that it was number 10. And since I had worked with J. D. in this particular car, well, I determined to myself that with him not answering, and the equipment number, that this was Officer Tippit.
