Police Chief William McManus said Perez appeared to be having “a mental health crisis” and that the officers’ actions “were not consistent with SAPD’s policy and training” and that their use of deadly force "was not reasonable given all circumstances as we now understand them.” https://www.expressnews.com/news/articl ... 169885.php

I am certainly not a legal expert on these issues but it does seem like the officers over reacted to the situation. She was stuck in her apartment and was going nowhere. She did not have a firearm, that we could see anyway, so she did not really present a threat to any of the officers out of her reach. I am seriously pro police officers, the ones on the beat anyway and generally side with them when they are forced to defend themselves or citizens against deadly force. On the surface, this one does not look good at all. IMHO...
