Shortly after the squad car left the family residence, Grier fell out of the vehicle onto the pavement, sustaining what turned out to be life-ending head injuries.
The video shows the deputies suddenly stopped the car and then walked back to where Grier’s body lay face down on the pavement. They prod her multiple times and tell her to sit up. Finally, they turn her over and declare, “Alright, she’s breathing.”
They can be heard asking each other if they had shut the squad car door.
Grier’s parents were not told that she had been injured and taken to Grady Hospital in Atlanta, until the next day.
Sometimes you reach a point where you just don’t have anything to say despite you wanting to say stuff. Recently I’ve been at that point for a lot of things really. This being one of them. It’s the same shit over and over again.
Speechlessness as to how nothing gets done. I get the same way with indigenous deaths in custody here that happen at least once a fortnight. Too many preventable deaths
