Sandra Bland’s family has reached a $1.9 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit — an agreement that has brought “joy” after a year of grief, Bland’s mother said.
The settlement includes compensation for Bland’s death in custody as well as several changes to jail procedures in Waller County, Texas. Bland was found dead in her jail cell three days after she was pulled over for failing to use her turn signal in July 2015.
Bland family attorney Cannon Lambert said the jail procedure changes include:
— Using automated electronic sensors to ensure timely cell checks
— Providing an on-duty staff nurse or emergency medical technician for all shifts
— Providing continuing education for jailer screening

“These families are all in it for the money. If they could, they’d thank Sandra for dying.”
Indeed. The same family that refused to post a $500 bail so she could get out of jail.
“No, she was put in jail for resisting and not obeying a lawful order, IIRC.”
Is smoking a cigarette illegal in Texas?
Are you unaware of the definition of resisting and disobeying a lawful order?
I’ve witnessed the welfare piglet mentality extensively, and it is sub-human. Disgusting. These people would kill their own child for a million.
