Newly-emerged cell phone video shows the arrest of Sandra Bland, who died in custody Monday in Texas -- as the womans family and authorities disagree about the manner of her death.
Authorities said that Bland, 28, committed suicide, but her family isnt buying it.
A prosecutor said Thursday that he will present the findings of a Texas Rangers' investigation to a grand jury. The FBI is also investigating the circumstances surrounding Bland's death.

....she used a plastic bag to hang herself from a partition in her cell. He added that although jail video didn't show what went on in Bland's cell, it showed no one went in or out of it from the time she was placed there until a jailer found her unconscious.

Video shows no one enters her cell before she commits suicide....media still runs with "racism" meme.

My first job after retiring from the Army was at Bell County Jail in Texas. Did not take long to figure out that wasn't for me.
NO ONE in jail, not the inmates, not the jailers, not the Administration wants the anal exam a suicide brings. Inmates are the first to alert you if someone is trying to hurt themselves.
Again, as always, cooperation, calm demeanor, and respect are the best ways to not get arrested when there is a call to be made by LEOs on the street.

The FBI is also investigating the circumstances surrounding Bland's death. Travesty of justice. The only reason they care is because it's high profile. The only reason it's high profile is because she was black.

"She was arrested on July 10 in Prairie View following a routine traffic stop, with authorities alleging that she was argumentative and uncooperative."
Right, it was the routine traffic stop that caused it. Nothing to do with not being able to STFU when the situation called for it to avoid jail in the first place.

This is an odd situation - when I first heard about it I thought it sounded fishy, but knowing she had admitted to some kind of PTSD plus video showing no one entering her cell sheds an entirely different light on the situation.
It won't matter - the mobs have made up their minds and white heads will roll in that department over this

Where is the mystery? She reported being depressed and having PTSD and video proves she was alone in her cell. It was a suicide.
