In Georgia, officials are investigating after a woman died while in police custody. Brianna Grier’s parents called 911 earlier this month when she was having a mental health emergency. Deputies arrived and, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, they never closed the patrol car door before driving off. Grier fell out of the moving police car, officials say, and died after several days in a coma.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

So sad rip

This is so sad. Police should be trained to deal with people who have mental illness.
Just curious how many people here think it had some sort of sexual assult involved with it and if you want to tell me your reasoning for such beliefs
" We trusted them and believed they would do their job" What planet has this man been living on. Men with guns and qualified immunity should never be called in a situation like this.
What is a Woman?
hard for woman to shut up ,
Everyone keeps saying don't call the cops for a mental health emergency but aren't saying WHO to call. Dial 988 suicide prevention, they can send mental health professionals. Thru don't call the police unless there's a gun, then they have to call the police.
How do you forget to shut a car door? Isn't that like a natural instinct. Something isn't quite right here.
They need to be charged with murder
For future reference. Most areas have crisis stabilization units that temporarily help out people with mental health issues. Length of stay is about 5 days. There is also having someone involuntarily committed for 72 hours.
People who continuously defend the police are pathetic. Most police are abusive, destructive, and evil. MOST.
Forgot to put the seat belt on, and also forgot to close the car door?? If you don't close the car door, what about the "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound or the "door open" LED light on the dash?? These cops gonna leave a suspect in their patrol car to bake in the sun and die or something. Should check the body cam to see if they remembered to wear shoes to work. I don't believe none of this. It don't add up.
It should say, “poorly trained officers respond to mental health patient. They don’t even know how to close a door.”
Call an ambulance 🚑… that was so messed up
Protesting and standing at the podium don't work in this country!
I can't slide by myself!!
Only time we see Ben😐
This is complete Bull! Since when did the cops stop closing the door when someone is in the back? Won't their open door sensor annoyingly ding like ours?? + There's no way of a coincidence there happens to be 2 imbecile partners.. where is the bodycam footage?? Fake news!! We've been so conditioned not to think past go… we believe anything we're told.
Never call the cops on someone who suffers from schizophrenia, PLEASE! I have 5 friends with it and they only hurt themselves. They can be calmed, but you have to find out what or who is assaulting them and help them take control of what is happening in their minds. Most schizophrenics are also aware of reality too. With someone they trust you can get them back by showing them reality vs visions. The fact they know you are real and trying to help them will help them see the visions are not. My one friend believes that black ops are after her all the time. She asks if I see them and as soon as I tell her no there is no one there, you are safe, she begins to calm and trust me. It helps her when she is alone to tell the black ops they are not real and she doesn't have to listen to them.
Never ever call the cops it just increases their fear which increases the visions!! Sad part is it hits in teenage years so these parents are new to dealing with it. Sad sad situation.
I'm sorry beautiful soul, you left us to soon. One day there will be more understanding for all schizophrenics so this never happens again!

I feel for them ! But we have seem this time and time again ! Why didn't they call for an ambulance ?
Father of Brianna Grier: I understand your pain and I was hurt to learn of the story concerning your daughter. Not one thing can bring your precious daughter back. It should always be within the policies and procedures for police officers to buckle in any detainee once putting that person in the back of the patrol car.
My heart and prayers go out to her family I’m so sorry. God will protect her forever now. Im so sorry for your loss tho 🙁 I know it doesn’t take away the heart ache but I will be praying for you all everyday
They didn't notice or hear the warning lights and dings telling them the back door is open?!?!
JESUCRISTO ✝️ BENDIGA BRIANNA GRIER Y FAMILIA Y AMIGOS
Why was police sent instead of an ambulance? Police and mental health emergencies don't go together. EMS should have been on the scene to take her away. Only reason cops should be there is just in case the EMT is in danger from the patient.
Why the heck did these silly parents called the police??? Where the heck where the parents when she was put in the car??? Naw they wanted to get rid of her,now she gone permanently…I blame them parents.
Most police are good. Not intentional just negligence. Sad…
Her parents are Idiotic…Why even have the police come…They are not trained for this… Call the paramedics to take her to a Hospital.
What percent of the settlement does Crompton keep?
Ohhhh god here we go
Well Klumps there let’s see how he turns this into the cops 👮♂️ we’re racist…I’m sure he will demand 25 million and he will take his usual fee of 20 million…
SHE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY IF THEY WOULD'VE NEVER CALLED "WY8T PEOPLE" WITH GUNS TO SO CALL "HELP THEM" KNOWING THEY HATE US!!!!
Her front teen are social distancing
Investigation of the police vehicle and the police as it’s impossible to happen without intent,
She was pushed out of a police car.
calling for a independent autopsy? findings blunt force trauma from falling out of a car.
Oh them terrible racist police. Propaganda
We used to lock up the insane for life
you wanted them running loose committing crimes
So she died trying to escape the vehicle but you guys post that she died from being detained….. 🖕
The back seats are very slippery, so I see how she could have fallen out easily. However, sounds like there was negligence involved, and for that they may have to pay a high price. On the side of police cars, it says to serve and protect, well at least it used to. They failed doing that with this individual.
This is why the police should never assist anyone in need. By trying to help others, you are opening up your life for a lawsuit. It’s all about money.
Terrible
