'Suicidal' black teenager yells 'I can't breathe' and vomits as white Texas cop lays on top of her to stop her jumping in front of a car while her family yell abuse at him

A white Texas cop was filmed laying on a vomiting black girl saying 'I can't breathe' after she reportedly ran in front of cars on a busy road in a bid to kill herself.

The girl, named as Nekia Trigg, 18, was filmed prone on the ground in Forney, Texas, on Tuesday.

Trigg's mom Antanique Ray, could be heard pleading with the officer to let her get up while she tries to calm her daughter down as she labored through each breath.

I don’t know how police officers are managing to stay in the job. It used to be that most people appreciated them and they only had to take abuse from the losers of society in handcuffs. Fair trade for keeping the streets clean.

But now they take abuse from those losers, the losers in BLM protests, the losers in elected office, and the losers who see them trying to do their job and don’t understand the context of what doing their job sometimes looks like.

Sheesh, didn’t read this story, but there’s some attraction in NYC, it’s called “the vesell” it’s just kind of a free standing thing and you can walk up in it. Don’t know how high it it, but a few stories anyway.

Some family from NJ was there and the 14 year old son just threw himself off one of the higher levels and dies. He was the 4th person to committ suicide in this way. Now it is closed and may be closed forever.

But here’s the thing, the kid had made previous suicide attempts! Then he’s there with his whole family, including his sister, and all seemed well, then he just lept.

So messed up. But they’d’ve been happy if some cop could have sat on the kid’s fat head an prevented his death.

>> I don’t know how police officers are managing to stay in the job.

Salary. Pension. Carry. Immunity.

It’s a good job to have despite the sensational BS.

Not fair to the artist who designed it, but that “Vessel” may have to come down. It is a gorgeous piece of architecture, mildly similar to the Guggenhiem Museum in New York, but with honeycomb shapes braced around the exterior.

Once a public structure becomes known for being a ‘jumping off point’ for those who want to commit suicide, you will find those types of personalities heading towards it. They will make a pilgrimage of it.

Sometimes, that aspect simply has to be ignored, because the public structure is of great use for the community.
Sort of like the Golden Gate Bridge in my area, leading to San Francisco.

Yup. The way cops are treated today, the cop should have let the kid have it with traffic. Splat.

Yes, I guess that is true in this case. They even did all kinds of security upgrades, but as one of the security people said (my paraphrase): this was a family group, they didn’t have any red flags.

The family probably already has their GoFundMe site set up.

Free $$$$ for ten minutes of TikTok theater in front of conveniently present cellphone videocams.

You left out the losers in the media that falsely promote losers like Georgie Floyd as police brutality “victims”

Perfect scenario for a depressed person who thinks they are worthless to become canonized and provide their family untold wealth with “suicide by cop”

“A white Texas cop was filmed laying on a vomiting black girl saying ‘I can’t breathe’...”

What was the cop laying? Eggs? Why was the cop saying “I can’t breathe”? What horrible writing.

He would have been sued for not protecting her.

He should have let the worthless beeotch become roadkill and let the family scrape her up or become vulture vittles.

Supreme Court has ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect citizens.
