Hancock County, Georgia authorities have released body camera footage from the night Brianna Grier died due to a fatal injury while in police custody.
"When they used to come out to the house they'd call an ambulance service," Grier's father Marvin Grier said. "The ambulance service would come out and they would take her to the hospital to get some help." Grier then yells to officers saying she's going to hang herself if she is placed in the car. They proceed to place her in handcuffs and attempt to place her in a squad car but when she resists further, an officer is seen unholstering his taser.
GBI investigators concluded Wednesday that "the rear passenger side door of the patrol car, near where Grier was sitting, was never closed," according to a news release. The second officer says that Grier is still breathing. Grier never responds to the officers calling her name after falling out of the patrol vehicle. The video ends with Grier on the ground while police wait for paramedics.
Grier told the deputies she was going to hurt herself and was on the ground refusing to get into the patrol car, according to the release.
