So you purposely ignore things? By his own admission she kicked him in the shin. So yes there was a intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another in this situation. Please don't say but its not a serious injury

"Earlier Tuesday, authorities released an affadavit signed by Encinia, in which he describes having “removed” Bland from her car and handcuffed her “for officer safety” after she became “combative.” Encinia says in the affidavit Bland started “swinging her elbows” and kicked him in the shin, at which point he used force to get her to the ground and arrested her for assaulting a public servant after she continued fighting him."

Interesting that the family that would not bail her out of jail is the same family trying to get money from her death. I see what is really important to them. $$$$$$$$
So you think she is mad and killed herself for police is being offended? Are you serious?
I would rather believe that she was injured during the arrest and died after.
You can not argue the fact that police is rude toward black people rather than white. I mean it is much more likely that the police will show aggression toward the black man during an arrest than white.

Would you agree that a black man being confronted by a police officer is more inclined to resist and be noncompliant than a white man?
