KLTV On Tuesday, police released video of the altercation between officers and a man outside a restaurant in Palestine.

On Sunday, May 31, police shot and killed 47-year-old James D. Bushey. He was suspected of stealing beer from a store and hiding in a nearby restaurant. Bushey was shot by police after he pointed a weapon at an officer.

Police later determined the weapon was a BB gun designed to look like a 9 mm handgun, leaving unanswered questions about why Bushey drew the firearm in the first place.

Can you even imagine if this guy was black?

Sure he whips his gun out but he’s clearly intoxicated and/or retarded. What kind of level headed person is looking around this situation and not only believes his out is using his BB gun, but actually proceeds with his dynamite plan? Within seconds the cops get him face down on the ground and he’s being tazed so I’m not sure the chick cop filming this needed to bust another three caps in his ass. If a white cop makes that move on a black dude in Alabama it is national news.

Fortunately it was white on white crime in Texas, or as they call it, “a Tuesday.”

  
The logical half of my brain knows giving everyone a gun will be an utter disaster. The country is 90% stupid and those as mama always said “stupid is as stupid does.” The other half of my brain however also knows cell phones record quality HD these days and if the US jumps on the dash cam bandwagon, we could be seeing some pretty awesome gun fights dumped on YouTube.
