From this: Bland was a nice girl according to the mainstream media. A victim of white oppression, she had become a civil rights activist in Chicago, and a part of the Black Lives Matter campaign. She had had at least ten previous encounters with police in Illinois and Texas, and owed $7,579 in fines. She was unfairly arrested after allegedly kicking a white Hispanic trooper during a routine traffic stop. Distraught and emotional over the incident, she committed suicide.
How many White House officials will attend?
What kind of white oppression, I wonder.
“off hand, it looks like she smuggled more pot into the jail than she could ingest in one dose” said the officer. “she felt death in her cell was the only solution”
I takes a real nitwit to escalate a routine traffic stop for changing lanes without signaling into an arrest for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. All she had to do was be polite and she could have probably gotten off with a warning. The trouble with “Black Lives Matter” is its real name ought to be “Black Criminals’ Lives Matter”, since all of its poster children have been criminals, including two attempted murderers, and all would have survived if they had simply complied with legitimate police orders or not tried to murder somebody.
If you want to read some scary stuff, go monitor #JusticeForSandraBland for a while. This mentality is what the country is up against. When you see the anger and, yes lies, manifested in this thread, Baltimore and Ferguson start to make sense. Twitter is not a hotbed of intellectual discourse, the average IQ of the posters on that thread must be in single digits. But when you see how easily they can be led, it is frightening. Well-placed troll comments can lead this mindless herd anywhere!
We know why they're called "Riot Guns"

Riot...riot....riot.
She felt and acted like she was superior to the cop, real arrogance.
Irrelevant. She was pulled over for failing to signal a lane change. The officer escalated the situation repeatedly, resulting in an arrest... over a lack of a turn signal. Within a day, she was dead. I don't care about her past. I don't care about the color of the skin of those involved. The stop was petty. The arrest was incompetent and unjust. Her death was unconscionable. I do not know the cause of her death, but it seems very unlikely that she killed herself, which means the police are lying and covering up a murder. I doubt I would have liked Sandra or her politics... but in this case, her past and her personality are irrelevant. I believe the police in this instance were incompetent, and likely criminal.
...she had become a civil rights activist in Chicago, and a part of the Black Lives Matter campaign....
I wonder how long she’d been in Texas.
Wasn’t the young lady in the McKinney, TX swimming pool brouhaha a recent transplant from Chicago, as well?
We’ve been seeing a lot of Illinois plates on the TX highways, of late. More than other plates, and much more than usual.
I find it interesting that no one of Sandra Bland’s family or friends bailed her out of jail for THREE days. That abandonment by those people who are now claiming she was murdered likely caused her to commit suicide.
Is it possible, just a little possible....considering what we know now, that when the officer returned to the car he may have recognized her speech, behavior, aggression as being erratic and felt he should do a further evaluation, looking for inebriation, drugs? OR he could have let her go and she could have gone down the street and killed a family.
Obviously, he was right.....she had substantial amount of marijuana in her system and serious mental health issues. She even told him she had epilepsy, so was he suppose to turn her loose on the public when he was uncertain of her condition? This is ridiculous.
A woman is stopped for a minor traffic violation. She ends up dead in the jail. Something happened in between and I don’t think it’s going look good on the officer’s next performance review. IMHO.
"Another senseless smoking-related death."
"Better make it look like the girl did it."

I had not followed this story until my daughter started telling me about people on her Internet forums saying the mug shot photo was of a dead woman on the floor. So I had to look it up. I then watched the videos of the traffic stop, but I did it without volume. The mug shot is not of a dead woman is what I concluded. I then decided to wait until we could hear the rest of the story from the police perspective. It seems rather incriminating to the police thus far. But several stories of late have seemed that way.
I became curious why the woman was still in police custody after three days and why no one had bailed her out. Had she talked to anyone? Was there proof that she was alive for those three days? Then I found all the info on her previous arrests and DUIs. Ugh. So now I will wait to see what is found in an investigation.
