And of course, the lyin libs will chime in with their BS about the whole Police Department being racist and murderers and the need to "make whitey pay " !

Second of all, whether the police department was being racist or not, whatever. But Sandra Bland should not have been arrested. What did she do? Make an illegal lane change. Okay, whatever. She was doing fine with that process until the state trooper decided to tell her to put her cigarette out, to which she asked him why. Then he demanded she exit her vehicle only for her to ask him why. This goes on for several rounds before he points his Taser at her and shouts, "I will light you up! Get out! Now!" So, the officer illegally detains her without telling her what she's being charged with and then the Department of Public Safety LIED on that trooper's behalf, claiming Ms. Bland had kicked him.
Even then, the bullshit doesn't end there. Ms. Bland's intake forms revealed a history of depression and suicide, but was she placed on suicide watch? Nope. The Waller County jail staff hadn't even started taking mental health training courses they were required to take by law. Staff are also required to conduct hourly rounds to check on inmates, and they couldn't even do that.
As the evidence is, there is nothing to suggest murder covered up to look like a suicide.
However, that does not mean Waller County or that trooper should be let off by a long shot. The trooper committed a completely unnecessary and arguably illegal arrest, and the jail is (at best) guilty of incredible negligence in their care of a human being who was forced into their custody and whose life they were responsible for.
Frankly, the lack of indictments for ANYTHING is astounding to me.
And all of her friends and Familly were SOOOOOO concerned when she was arrested. Not one would even bother to answer her phone calls or bother to post a rather small bail ( around $500 if I remember correctly), before she hung herself in her cell
