Collier as Officer Tippit

Besides playing a central role in establishing a case against the
brothers, Collier�s death also served a powerful symbolic purpose in
the official narrative, with a huge memorial service for the MIT
officer on April 24, addressed by Vice President Biden. Throughout,
the spotlight has been on Collier as Hero�a kind of ritualistic
hagiography devoid of any inclination to investigate the actual
circumstances of his death.

For students of history, however, this part of the narrative had a
familiar ring. Exactly half a century ago, another traumatic event
took place: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The big
break in that case came several hours later, when a police officer,
J.D. Tippit, was shot and killed. Soon, one of the many employees in a
tall building on Kennedy�s parade route, Lee Harvey Oswald, was
connected to both events. Like Tamerlan Tsarnaev, he had recently
spent time in Russia. Like Tamerlan Tsarnaev, he had been under
scrutiny by the FBI before the crime.

In both cases, it was the killing of a police officer that
turbocharged the police pursuit�and that, once the suspect was
apprehended, convinced the public quickly that the police had their
man.

Until the shooting of officer Collier, the Tsarnaevs were just two
guys seen on a video wearing backpacks. And until the Tippit shooting,
Oswald was just one of many employees in a building that most
eyewitnesses felt was not even the source of the shots that killed
Kennedy.

In both cases, the shooting of the police officer did not make a lot
of sense in the context of the �main event� � but nevertheless gave
the pursuit a jolt of adrenaline. Only later would crucial details of
the narrative be changed�at a time when few would notice.
