She should have been issued a warning and let go.

Now she is dead.

I was asked to get out of my car. It was on the side of the interstate though, so we could stand and talk on the passenger side of our cars farther away from high speed traffic. That's a safety reason, for her it was a power trip by the sheriff.

A power trip that left a woman dead...and they say they are investigating it as a murder, and practically in the same breath call it a "tragic event."

THEY ARE LYNCHING BLACKS IN RECORD NUMBERS WHILE THE IGNORANT AMERICANS DO NOTHING.

They may ask you to get out for a sobriety check. If you resist, your ass is theirs.

He didn't ask her to get out because warrants came up. He asked her to get out because he was harassing her.

All I have seen is a far off cell phone video that takes place after she's already been subdued and arrested.

Is there some information I haven't seen?

did you not see that? Or did you 'miss' it?

I have been somewhat off my game on getting the latest info.

I had not seen this video yet.

Going to go watch now.

they doctored it. It's worthless CYA maneuvering.

the action in some of it.

snakes....well what's to be expected. They are in CYA mode and any lie, deception will do.

"Trying to get away?" As in when he left her on the side of the road to get her cell phone. This woman wasn't suicidal, she was going to sue the shit out of them. She wanted her day in court, why would someone who is suicidal kill themselves to let the pigs win. She knew what she was saying. She did have a big lawsuit from this video, and I hope her family follows through. Add illegal search to their charge too.

Wonder if the Sheriff got that person too...

I wanna see the dissapearing car and the guy getting out of his vehicle twice.

Go see the entire chilling dash video on I think Lawrence o'donnell's site

been waiting for it, to openly surface.

Bow your heads...or die

if you resist or not, your ass is theirs.

She was stopped for DWB. I bet a white person there has never gotten a ticked for not signalling unless they had managed to piss off the cop beforehand.

It's all about CLASS, not RACE!

Learn something.

This thread. I come in here thinking of ways this could be addressed, but now you put me in the defensive and my energy is directed through anger at you rather than the piggy perp. Is that what you want or is it simply an unintended consequence of you feeling as though you nailed us Bernie supporters?

....better knock off offending......people.

and the only subject is #Black Lives Matter and that's the only "football" at the moment.

For the level of outrage that should be expressed over the murder of a young AA woman by people with a badge. We're all outraged about this happening, and happening regularly all over America, again and again. And I mean all of us, Hillary supporters, O'Malley supporters, and DU'ers like me who are Bernie supporters. But here's your comment, attempting to make this a partisan issue and start a nice little flamewar...and divide us when we're coming together. You should be ashamed of yourself.

the last three day sure has shown me how much #Black Lives Matter and who's "coming together", that's for damn sure. The flamewar was not started by 71. DUers with excuses up the ying yang about those #Black Lives Matters people having the nerve of disrupting those fine gentlemen at NETROOTS started the flamewar. NOT 71. It seems any black person that ruffles privileged feathers around here is attacked by those who are offended and must attack righteous black anger.

And you want to join in to try and create one.

here or anywhere else. Take your offense somewhere else, it's wasted on me.

apparently made somewhere. Mind sharing the source of that statement?

Your post was a pointless.

Talk about distracting from this young woman's death at the hands of the cops.
You should self delete.

If she had been driving an Accura with a Ron Paul bumpersticker she might not have gotten pulled over too.

She certainly would have been treated differently.

Your post is just shit-stirring.

that was suspicious but no link
Is that part of the history?

Watch the video. He was targeting her to do something wrong so he could pull her over. What do most people do when a cop comes at a high speed from behind? They pull into the other lane. She just didn't turn her blinker on, but no one else was on the road.

He purposely targeted her-watch the video. Why did he turn around and drive at a high speed behind her??????

Does anyone know?

argued with the policeman because she was taking a video on her cell phone and now the phone doesn't seem to exist. Also, there is evidence of the dash cam video being edited because cars that are passing just poof off the screen. I guess many people don't look at the background except experts and they have found many anomalies. Very curious. Also, a passerby took a video of the cop holding her down on the ground that is off camera on the official video.

There were protests and fires and riots when this happened to men. Why is it all so quiet and neat when a woman is OBVIOUSLY murdered by racists??? Am I missing something here??

The state and the Feds are looking at this one like a murder.

No worries though I'm sure the grand jury will find no wrongdoing on the part of the officers involved, after they investigate themselves.

there is a mount everest of rage and anger out here, and that's just inside me. Have no doubts, this one has garnered scrutiny by millions. You haven't missed a thing. This beautiful human being was murdered....that's all I know and hate about waller county, texas and those goddamn racists.

anger on social media. Quite a number of us see the racism and believe that Sandra Bland was murdered by these racist thugs. This is not going away. I think that the anger and protesting will continue and increase until Ms. Bland's murder is thoroughly investigated.

whether she committed suicide or not, that was the event that resulted in her death either directly or indirectly at the hands of those police.

imagine how traumatized any black person, with no witnesses, will be when pulled over by the police - and with good reason. And consistently we hear how an armed, generally supported police person (I don't want to call them officers anymore) need to use excessive force on the single, lone, generally unarmed black person.

And this constant shit of black people in police hands committing suicide is tragically disgusting. I hear LIES, LIES, LIES when that excuse is used.

It's time to lock these so called public servants who commit murder away in prison and subject them to the same treatment they are giving to other innocent people.

her death has been ruled a suicide though the FBI and other agencies are looking into it.
And it turns out that the medical examiner is right and she did commit suicide that does not mean the officers in the jail or the officer who arrested her are guilty of murder no matter if the arrest turns out to be bullshit which its looking like though I havent seen the dash cam vid yet to be sure.

It would be awesome if BLM protested at these 'news conferences'

Is in fact a huge racist coward and bully. What a surprise. Everything she said in the dashcam video is spot on and I really hope she still has her day in court, as she was hoping for.

Ever seen how law enforcement works? It's entirely about the application of force and escalation thereof.

Something as simple as a parking ticket can and will be escalated into a death sentence.

This is inherent to the nature of laws and governments - they rule by force (or by fraud). In a representative government, the will of the people acts as a check/balance against excessive use of force, but we don't have a representative government, we have a barely veiled kleptocracy.

If you ever find yourself saying "there ought to be a law..." you should follow up by asking yourself if the "ought" is compelling enough to justify the inevitable thefts (fines), kidnappings (arrest), and murders that will be done in its name.

of our "justice" system. It shows how common it is in our local jails to imprison someone and then ignore them. These sheriffs had not had the mandatory training in not only how to treat someone they pull over but more importantly what kind of treatment every person is entitled to if they are booked and jailed. There are many regulations but few are ever enforced. "Suicide watch" is a farce and many people die in our jails, some from abuse and some from lack of medical or mental health care.

When will we ever learn that without justice for all there is no justice for any.

Law enforcement has taken over from the KKK the lynching of Blacks. And now the DA has called for a new autopsy, saying the first one was defective. When will the people of TX take control of the state?
