Dallas officer enters apartment she mistakes for her own, fatally shoots man inside.   Come on man. 

Was she drunk?  Did she just move there?  I mean how....

And then her first thought is to shoot the guy who must have been just as confused as her.

WTF is wrong with people and who decides they should be a cop and carry a gun?

Retuning home from her shift. Need more details. If her shift just ended, no way she had time to get drunk. Eventually we will get to the real story. Her story is like the ones you see on Live PD. 'Those drugs in my pants aren't mine. Um, these pants aren't even mine.' 'I don't know how they got on me'.

Absolutely no way she went in the wrong apartment. She went there for a reason. Or she's like just about everyone on Earth, circa 2018. A complete moron. The planet is getting dumber people.

I agree. No way this was just a simple mistake. I bet there's more to the story. 

And if it was a "mistake" she should not only still go to jail, there should be questions as to how someone so incompetent got hired.

This wasn't the police actively killing/murdering citizens, but it does fit with the general disregard of the humanity SOME police tend to have toward people they interact with.

Lousy situation. Clearly having a major mental health issue, but can't blame the police (or anyone) for shooting when a realistic handgun is pointed at them.

It is real messed up. They went their as a wellness check to see if she was ok. They were there for like over an hour and kill her? What the hell happened in there? People deserve answers and not just because she was somewhat famous. How did the situation escalate to checking to see if she is ok to killing her? Also maybe we shouldn't be sending cops on these kind of calls.

I think her being an officer is completley irreleveant to this story. She was off duty. She murdered someone and what she does for a living is irrelevent. 

[Underachievers 352]

So he left his door to the apartment unlocked?  Did he let her in? Were they having an affair?

 

Can't wait to hear the details of this one. Something very very strange that is not being told.

Who exactly should be sent instead?  If she's crazy enough to wave a BB gun in front of a police officer, she's crazy enough to shoot a social worker.

Social workers. Mental health professionals. EMS. Not armed officers. They went there because she had serious life threatening physically ailments and was experiencing seizures while there. She wasn’t being visited because she was violent or dangerous. Something happened over the 90 minutes the police and social worker were there that turned the situation violent. She was not crazy and as far as I know from her on Twitter was not mentally ill. Only physically.

Quote

Sheriff's officials said a county mental health clinician was with South Pasadena officers at the scene, and they spoke with Marquez "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."

Seems she had more than physical problems.

She was having a seizure. Ofcourse I don’t know her full history but she was part of a group of people on Twitter that I regularly interact with about movies. I knew she was basically terminally ill but had no signs of mental issues. Now anyone can become unstable at any time though. My entire point is police are a threatening presence and adding that presence to a person who is possibly unwell isn’t the way to handle a bad situation. If someone is having a seizure, why are the police needed? Again more info is needed but nothing that’s come out yet has shown me how we went from wellness check on person with a seizure to a person shot dead. 

I was at a graduation party when I saw the graduate’s cognitiely impaired uncle beaten up by the police because they thought he was a belligerent drunk trying to attack them. He just liked to hug people so I admit I’m a bit unbiased.

Lots of possibilities:

1. She had a history of run ins with cops and they knew they needed mental health.

2. They got there and she was erratic or having a seizure so they called the mental health professional in. 

3. After the seizure she was erratic and they called in.

4. It is protocol for them to bring a health professional on wellness checks.

5. The person that called in the mental health check reported behavior that made the police think they needed a mental health professional.

Officers arrived and called both the paramedics and a mental health clinician.  Again, why would you say officers shouldn't be there?  They were the ones who recognized and called in the correct people to help her.

If somebody points a realistic gun at an innocent person or police officer in any state of mind, they are going to get shot.  Police officers can't risk their safety or the safety of the people in that apartment (landlord, clinician, EMS) for any reason.

Maybe mental health and paramedics should have came first since it was a wellness check and not a crime. I am aware police typically come for a wellness check and I’m saying it shouldn’t be that way. It’s not what they are trained for.

[Ilov80s 21,122]

I don't think I ever said the officer that killed Vanessa should be tried or fired or was even wrong. I am just asking for more info because it seems like things have went really wrong when a wellness check on a person with a seizure results in the person having the seizure being shot dead by the responders. How can anyone argue either of those points?

You can't be serious.  Do you not realize that nobody knows what is happening or happened to the person?  You can't send mental health workers and paramedics into a potentially dangerous situation and risk even more innocent lives.  

Hm, let's simply google "wellness check called" and see why your idea is terrible.

When I lived in Apartments they had these things called numbers on the doors.  Also they were a fixed distance from elevators or stairs and one got used to that distance.  Finally, they had these things called locks that had to be opened with keys.  Generally one did not enter them by mistake.

A very drunk friend of mine couldn’t get his key to work when he got home late one night, so instead of calling a locksmith he broke into his home, and proceeded to pass out on the couch.   One problem, he was 3 houses down from his actual home.  

 

He woke up in the morning to two very pissed off and confused neighbors

What a ####ed up situation. 

Killed 4 prostitutes while off duty in a 12 day stretch, with a fifth that managed to escape. That sounds like Serial Killer 101.

Makes you wonder how many others there might be. Or, if these were the only ones, what exactly made him snap on Sep 3?

He was an 8 year Navy vet and 10 year Border Patrol agent so "technically" it belongs in this thread, but these murders did not have anything to do with his day job it appears (he picked up the prostitutes in his personal vehicle while off duty)

Did he have a history with prostitutes (without killing them) prior to this?

Did he commit any murders (or other crimes) while on duty?

None would be better than a border police IMO. More authority and more geographical range than local or sheriff departments, very low population areas, and any victims/witnesses/colleagues would be highly disincentivized to report any illegal activity. If this guy was smart, he could have gotten away with being a serial killer for decades.

He witnesses a man throw another man off a bridge, then the suspect is hostile and doesn't comply. He turns his back to the cop and reaches into his waistband, before quickly throwing something off the bridge. 

At this juncture, you have a hostile suspect, just witnessed throwing someone over a bridge, turn his back and reach into his waistband. This is not how to act if you don't want to be shot by a cop. I'm actually shocked he didn't shoot the guy, good cop here, but this guy was almost begging to be shot.

Really messed up and it is likely given what we know about these kinds of predators that there were several other victims. Maybe some murder, but most definitely some he raped/assaulted. Being an officer has nothing to do wtih it but it does make it easier to get away with such crimes.
