Sandra Bland

[cateyes1]

What do you think REALLY happened?  I thought that once she was put in jail it was out of the cops hands on what happened to her. Do you think it's the cops fault for her death or the jails fault?

She should have gotten married and changed her name so that she could have had a none bland name to fit her personality.

OF course  IT WAS  THE JAILERS   FAULT     there is no way A FREAKING GARBAGE BAG ,  even A GLAD TOUGH BAG  would hold up a HUMANS  WEIGHT    THINK ABOUT IT.   it would break or your neck would just  SLIDE OUT OF IT>    it is OUT OF REALITY  to think THAT ONE COULD ACTUALLY HANG THEMSELVES  WITH A GARBAGE BAG      she was murdered

OF course

I don't think she killed herself. 
I don't know what happened, but the garbage bag was part of a cover-up.

And no matter where or how she died, it's on the cop that arrested her.
She shouldn't have been in jail in the first place.

I certainly don't think it was the Officer's fault.  If she decided to take her own life, it's her own fault.  However, if the jail was AWARE that she may have had suicidal thoughts, it is their responsibility to put the inmate on suicide watch.

It was a suicide. Autopsy was consistent with suicide, no signs of it being homicide.

Although i do not understand what fully happened.. I have alot of questions about his case..
First off i do not think in any way shape of forum she should have went to jail in the first place...
Secondly the officer had way to many inconsistancies in his story and what was on the video. proved that he was lieing...
Why did he mock her? He was basically trying to get a reaction out of her.. and when he didn't get it he got mad...
What did she incially do wrong? She got pulled over for a lane change... She did nothing illegal.. She was answering his questions and asking questiosn.. NOTHING ILLEGAL... She acted just like anyone else would... She at one point was recording him with her phone.. Where is that evidence?  Why would there be a trash can in her cell in the first place? How would she go about hanging herself? There was mention that her arm was hurting so bad that she requested  medical care.. because of her arm.. How would she hang herself with a sore arm? Why is the video of her traffic stop tampered with? You can clearly see vehicals appearing and dissapearing in the video... that was so called no tampered with...

It was the officer fault for aressting her in the first place, and I agree with Paints and minioncookies, it's a cover up in this whole thing.  But the truth will come out.  I ask this question have anyone ever seen a trashcan in a jail cell?  Come on now....

She was pulled over for failing to signal when changing lanes. Tickets can run up to $150 for a 1st offense. Did she act like anyone would? No, not really. Most would have just put out the cigarette when asked. Most would have been polite, and just hoped to get off with a warning instead having to pay $150 fine.

Yes. Trash cans are often in jail cells.

She was profiled, either because of her out of state tags, or because she was black.
The cop made a u-turn and chased her down BEFORE she changed lanes without using her turn signal.
She changed lanes because she had a cop coming up fast, and like any rational driver who hadn't done anything wrong, she changed lanes to get out of his way.

There was no reason to put her cigarette out, in her own car. She wasn't under arrest.
And just because a cop asks you to do something, that doesn't mean you have to do it.

He had nothing to charge her with, and no reason to charge her with anything.
The proof of that is that the only thing she was charged with was assault on a public servant.

A minor traffic violation shouldn't be a death sentence.

The video shows the officer doing a U-Turn after Bland rolled through a stop sign! She could/should have been pulled over for that. She was not profiled.

Even if you haven't seen the video, let's also not overlook that this happened by Prairie View A&M, a HBCU. Black drivers are the norm, and out of state of plates are not uncommon around a college campus. There's no reason to believe she was profiled.

In this situation we will never know exactly what really happened to Sandra Bland.  It doesn't matter how many people blamed for this,  her love ones will never see her smile or talk again.

I'm late on the news. I have no idea who she is. xD
