Video shows Texas cops kill suspect outside Applebee’s after he pulls BB gun — WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
A Texas man pulled a BB gun on cops seconds before they opened fire, killing him outside a small town Applebee’s, newly released video shows.
James Bushey walked calmly next to the officers before he suddenly spun around with the real-looking weapon in hand.
The two officers’ body-mounted cameras captured the explosive exchange as they fired multiple rounds, dropping the 47-year-old in a spray of bullets.
The videos — one each from the officers — were released by Palestine cops and uploaded on Youtube by the Palestine Herald-Press.
The stunning point-of-view footage begins on May 31 in the Applebee’s restroom.
Sgt. Gabriel Green and Officer Kaylynn Griffin confronted Bushey, who’d allegedly stolen beer from a nearby Wal-Mart and fled into the restaurant.
The Elkhart man stared blankly for a moment while he dried his hands.

So, where are the videos of the Waco shootout?
Play stupid games...
...win stupid prizes!
In the same vault with the autopsy reports...
Remember this statement if you ever go to an Applebee’s restroom.
In terms of video quality, that was the best cop cam video I’ve seen of a shooting. Cop’s shooting was right on target, little recoil, just how it’s supposed to be. Now.. should he have shot the guy 13 times? I’ll leave that to others to decide. The shooting itself was justified, imo.
One less dumb ass. What kind of fool pulls a stunt like that.
A very soon to be dead one.
I saw the video. Despite the female cop screaming “Gun! gun! gun!” I think they did right. The perp pulled what looked like a real pistol and pointed it at the girl cop.
I watched this a couple of days ago on a gun forum where it came out that the female officer contributed 3 of the shots. Other PDs considering video systems ought to look into the one used here, it’s one of the highest quality POV videos I’ve ever seen.
If you watch carefully you can her firing some shots.
Suicide by cop.
Will Applebee’s bring back the onion petals?
at what time mark??? what i saw was her ducking and turning away when it mattered most at the 56sec mark
Either suicide, or maybe he’d been drinking and not thinking straight?
Watch her POV camera, she initially pulled her Taser and aimed, then reholstered it and drew her gun.
Was this a legit shoot? Of course it was.
Having said that it resulted from a tactical failure. Had they checked the suspect for weapons on first contact in the restroom the non-weapon would have been discovered. Think for a moment while you review the taped incident. While escorting the suspect out of the restaurant the two officers are separated with one ahead and one behind the suspect as shown in the video. At any time during the walk the suspect could have chosen the moment to draw and fire on the officers had the weapon been a genuine firearm. This happened in the past having to do with a forgery suspect being escorted from a department store. An initial pat down would have precluded both incidents which might have eliminated what occurred in the events cited. In the second instance cited one of the officers, a detective, was killed.
Put yourself in the scene and imagine what you should have done to avoid this outcome if you were one of the officers. Tactics, tactics, tactics!
ok, i saw the you-tube video of the guy's gun cam and it shows her ducking and turning away, the other video shows her shoot once then several times after he's down
“should he have shot the guy 13 times?”
Let’s assume the first bullet killed him. What is illegal about shooting a dead man twelve more times or 100? Once you are dead, you are dead. End of story.
