The issue is that the police shot and killed a woman who was mentally ill, and who they believed was mentally ill.
The police need to be trained about how to deal with sick people and frightened people without killing them.
Someone called the police because they believed a neighbour was in trouble. Because her neighbour asked the police to help, their neighbour is now deal. The people they called to help her, gunned her down.
no idea who she is , maybe suicide by cop .This story sounds fishy, they talked to her for an hour then she manages to get a BB gun and point it at cops?
Why would some rich actress in California have a little BB gun?
'ER' actress Vanessa Marquez killed by police after she pulled a BB gun on officers
ER" actress Vanessa Marquez was shot and killed by police Thursday after she pulled a BB gun on officers, Lt. Joe Mendoza of the South Pasadena Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY Friday.
Officers thought the weapon was a semi-automatic handgun.
The incident occurred during a welfare check to the 49-year-old's apartment in South Pasadena, California.
When officers arrived around noon Thursday, they "noticed the female was having seizures" according to a press release received by USA TODAY Friday. Paramedics were called to assist.
"While speaking to her, officers became aware she was possibly suffering from mental health issues, became uncooperative, and appeared to be unable to care for herself," the statement continued. "They continued to speak to her for over an hour and a half in an attempt to offer her medical care. She then armed herself with a handgun and pointed it at the officers, at which time an officer-involved shooting occurred."
She's Hollywood....probably could never pull a trigger on somebody so she had a fake to scare them off....They're pretty real looking these days.

What do you think should've been done instead of the move they made?In my mind the cops did not do their job.
Why are you one of those morons who salivate over actors and actresses? Think their shit dont stink and they can do no wrong?Is this fake news?
--------------------------------------------- that is always said but if someone points a gun at a cop or anyone else the main thing is STOPPING them . Generally the Stopping them means Killing them J.O..What do you think should've been done instead of the move they made?In my mind the cops did not do their job.
God bless you always!!!

P.S. I get why they fired at her. Would I have shot her in a life ending area had I been there? Not until I absolutely had to. My first target would've been her hand/arm that held her gun.

If BB guns were banned this never would have happened.

Oh? and what kind of training will keep a cop from getting shot when a pistol is pointed at him point-blank? You old hippies have no grasp of reality...you believe in magic or unicorns instead of getting off a round before she does. This time it was a very authentic looking bb pistol.....99 times out of a hundred it's the real mcCoy.
