Why did the person who murdered Tippit administer a cold blooded coup de grace to the poor man's temple? the officer was hit with multiple shots in his core, was entirely incapacitated and had already suffered what were almost certainly fatal wounds- As the only person Oswald has harmed with a gun up to this point was himself, wouldnt his first, second and third impulse be to get out of dodge with all due haste? The only reason to execute Tippit methodically like a contracted "mechanic" is the adage that dead men tell no tales- And obviously this adage was top of mind to Tippits executioner and seemingly proof in of itself of a bigger picture- And why did Tippit quickly escalate the matter by unholstering and pulling his gun right away? It would appear Tippit had foreknowledge that this specific individual, apart from the 5,000+ men in Dallas who would fit the Brennan description, was extremely dangerous-

YAWN.
No, sorry ...
MASSIVE YAWN.
Wow, Sock Puppet Binnie, you have broken new ground. I don't believe these issues have ever been raised before. ::) ::) ::)
"Why" is not a relevant question in a forensic reconstruction of a crime. We know what happened. We don't need to know why. "Why" is a question CTers ask because they can then fill in the blanks with CT-oriented speculation. You can't even ask the questions without resorting to multiple instances of CT-oriented speculation.
I suppose discussing the same things,
OVER AND OVER AND OVER,
is one way an internet forum stays alive, but good God,
FIND SOMETHING NEW.
Prove that Hale Boggs was whacked by Hoover, perhaps?
The improvement in your avatar is hereby noted.

The autopsy that was performed on Tippit along with the examination of his clothes indicated that the shots came from at least three feet away. No evidence was found that a shot was administered to the temple at close range. That is, no gunpowder residue - "powder tattooing" - was found on his clothes or temple. And several witnesses who saw the shooting said the gunman fired across the hood of the police car.
Too many conspiracy believers don't examine original/primary sources for information. You read conspiracy claims and simply accept them. This is one of your main mistakes (I made it too when I was a conspiracist).

Domingo Benavides was literally fifteen feet from Tippit as Tippit was lying dead in the street. If the killer had went around the back of the car and up to the body to fire a final shot, Benavides would have been s h i t t i n g his pants, since the killer would be running straight toward him on his way to Tippit.
Instead, Benavides said the killer, after firing the shots from across the hood, backed up onto the sidewalk and took off for the corner.

None of the earwitnesses describe a final shot fifteen seconds after the initial outburst of shots. None.
