Atlanta  Marvin and Mary Grier loved their 28-year-old daughter, Brianna, who delighted in dancing and having fun with her three-year-old twin daughters. But on July 15, they were worried that she was not taking her medications for her schizophrenia diagnosis and was talking about harming hers

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.

    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
