(CNN)Anger over Sandra Bland's death in a Texas jail has boiled over after newly released video showed what happened at the traffic stop that led to her arrest.

Now, many question whether she should have been arrested at all.

The dashcam video shows Texas state Trooper Brian Encinia pulling Bland over July 10 for allegedly failing to use her turn signal. What started as normal conversation gets testy after Encinia asks her to put out her cigarette.

Wow, this cop just has no clue. Why would you go there in this current environment. He will be lucky to stay alive let alone keep his job for any length of time.

Glitches in the video are gonna make this situation volatile for sure!

They argue, then Encinia pulls what appears to be his Taser and points it at Bland.

He screams: "Get out of the car! I will light you up! Get out! Now!"

This jerk LEO needs serious jail time.

Given the cop has a hispanic last name, how much does the left really want to push this?

She was not Arrested, she was the victim of a Violent Felony Kidnapping, then Held against her will and tortured until her death.

Let them all swing!

But seriously folks, how much longer until Citizens just start blasting the Revenue Agent as he approaches your car to TAX YOU

Other FR threads are qustioning whether or not this activist was provoking a confrontation.

The officer played right into the race industry’s hands.

Even now, a black “reverend” from Baltimore is throwing acceleratnt on this.

Wow Texas, the “hits” from your “LEO’s” just keep coming. What with Whacko being a legal travesty, and the cop at the pool party waiving his gun a bunch of blacks, and now this, I think maybe you need to overhaul your law enforcement top to bottom. These people are all Neanderthals and yet they are given guns!

How did she end up in jail for 3 days for a lane violation? Did she have outstanding warrants? This makes no sense but the cop is all done.

I wonder if this guy realizes how deep in the caca he is?

If the PTB allow him to keep his job he will probably end up dead. This happened in Texas. Even if he was totally legal the optics look so bad he will have to spend his life looking over his shoulder.

And this poor family, three days in jail and then bang she is dead all over a traffic stop and a cop with a bruised ego. It is just sad.

"How did she end up in jail for 3 days for a lane violation?"

The officer claims she assaulted him.

The Black Lives Matter activists are really pushing this. Understand that small police department has received some death threats. If she hadn’t mouthed off she may have gotten off with just a warning but she let her mouth overload her a**. Not a good idea, regardless of who you are or what color you are.

If this was really a suicide, then she alone is to blame.

He’s obviously one of those very rare white Hispanics, like George Zimmerman.

As long as we get to see a riot, that’s all we care about.

When a police officer stops you for ANY traffic violation (whether or not you AGREE) stop your car, shut up, get out your drivers’ license & hand it to him or her - don’t mouth off, follow orders to extinguish your cigarette, SHUT UP, & don’t mouth off & did I say SHUT UP !!!

Yep we should all know that the proper way to respond to those wearing the jack boots is to lick them like good little subjects. That is how it is done hear in the United Police State of America...

I’ve known for a long, long time that society is disapproving of nicotine, but I didn’t know they would kill you for it.
