Palestine, TX shooting body cams

[Koshinn]

Warning: someone gets lit up in this video, I presume he died.



Sgt Green is a boss. Immediately reacted, pulled the POS away from his partner and into a location where the Applebee's wasn't a backstop, drew quickly, and stopped the threat.

He also pushed away a table setting as they walked past so the POS wouldn't use it as a weapon. Turns out he had a gun anyway.

The other officer only discharges her weapon after the POS is down. I'm not LEO and while I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things, that probably wasn't ok?

Griffin did nothing wrong. Dude still had the weapon on him and she didn't know if he was alive or not.

Green is a boss for sure though. He is a good LEO and I'm glad they both made it home safely.

Sometimes people just don't wanna go back to jail...

Good instructional video. You both made good points. Anyone else's adrenaline get going watching that?

Glad both LEO were OK.

She didn't do anything wrong. Like Euro said, he still had the gun and they had no way of knowing if he was still active. And yeah, Sgt Green is pretty much a boss. He handled everything from the initial contact to the gun about as good as you could ask.

My heart is pounding! Good job Green. Not LEO here, but that guy seemed to be "on."

Natural selection at work. I am just glad the officers went home safe.

Both were cleared and are back at work.

The POS apparently pulled a "replica pellet" 1911. So it looks like suicide by cop.

Great police work and response-
Good shoot; shame it had to happen over a divorce, some stolen beer, and a BB gun.

That guy was a moron.

Looks like body cams worked great here. Everyone who's interested can see exactly what happened. No anonymous witness "he didn't do nuffin" sort of claims.

Imagine the media response if there weren't body cams...

"Police shoot and kill man for stealing beer."
