I find it odd that the SPPD can take obviously dangerous men alive, but they thought that they had to shoot and kill a disabled woman who was 5’3″, weighed all of 82 lbs., was not violent, and was a threat to absolutely no one. It is even more disgusting that they won’t take responsibility for it at all. Everyone involved in the death of Vanessa Marquez should be ashamed of themselves.
