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.

If you watch the full video, you see the Texas state trooper, on a college campus, pulling over two young women, one of which is Sandra Bland.

To pull over Bland, he spins a U-ey, then zooms up behind her, as if he's on his way to a call. He then tails her till he forces her traffic error, then pops his lights.

She actually says to him that she was just trying to get out of his way.

Given all the different laws they have now about impeding police, and moving over to avoid police by the side of the road, it's understandable to be unsure of whether you're doing the correct thing when they're around.

I'm beginning to think that I might start my own little protest, by just pulling over when one of the multitudes of shiny police cars comes into view, and getting out and pretending to make a cell phone call.

Since our Blue & Brown masters are somewhat allergic to cell phones these days, maybe it will act as repellent. :)

Blue and Brown Masters? Wow.
