Some of you people better not ever come to Florida. Cops dont even signal here. We have a saying down here "If the turn signal is on thats because they bought the car that way"
Cops don't always signal in IL either. They're either too stupid to remember or they feel they're above the law.
Breaking news!!! White people are more likely to die in police custody then blacks. So, what's the point of this thread? Is it police using extreme measures to arrest people, or, another race baited waste of time because the person who died was black? I know my memory is not perfect, but I can't remember a thread about a white person dying in custody. Do you???

Fine one minute and the next minute hysterical.....sounds sort of familiar.
This does not excuse the officers actions but does make sense of her actions in the video.
Hispanic, black, white, drugs don't care what color your skin is they make you act not yourself. (Everyone says she was God fearing and I hope and pray that this is not what a God fearing woman acts like.)
"Sandra Bland, the black woman found hanging dead in a Texas jail days after a traffic stop, smoked or possibly swallowed a large amount of marijuana while in custody, according to her family’s attorney." https://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/san...mily-attorney/
What argument? Someone asked about data showing deaths in police custody. Since the original title of this thread is about a person dying in police custody in a local jail cell I found data about deaths of people in local and state jails and posted it.
The video by the bystander who she thanked for recording does not show her kicking him. Of course, it is possible that she accidentally kicked out when trying to get away from his brutality.
Yeah, that cop had the *right* to ask her to get out of the car, but there was no reason to. She did nothing wrong except that she knew her rights, knew that if it went to court, she would have a case, was irritated with the whole thing and showed it and continued to smoke a cigarette when he asked her to put it out. He told her to get out of car and said he was going to *light her up* with his tazer. He would not tell her what she was under arrest for (that's illegal). There is no indication that he mirandized her (again illegal). He orders her to put her phone down so she cannot record him. He pulls her out of view of the dash cam so that what he does to her cannot be recorded by it. When she tells him he slammed her head into the ground and that she has epilepsy, he saids *good.* He says she yanked away and then kicked him, but there is no evidence of that. Note he also says "She didn't kick me too hard but she still kicked me though.* IOW, she was struggling and could not get much force even if she wanted to. And "She never swung at me, just flailing and stomping around."
Note they do not indicate that she was given any medical attention during the jail time or at the scene despite the fact that she asked for it. Did she have her Kepra (epilepsy medication)? I doubt if they gave it to her. He even says in the transcript that she requested EMS, but in the intake report he says she refused medical help.
In other facts, Sandra was 6 feet tall and weighed 175 lbs. There is no way that she could have been hanging from a plastic bag noose from that partition - she could not have gotten the force to break her neck and her feet would have been on the ground as that partition is not that tall.
State legislators who saw the video...just before it was publicly released sharply condemned the officer's behavior, which the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Steven McCraw, said was a violation of department arrest procedures. State Senator Royce West, Democrat of Dallas, said Ms. Bland, 28, should never have been taken into custody.
Note that the whole department is incompetent. Read the actual documents and look at the contradictions.
They are making up stories to fit their narrative.
Note that they don't believe she is a risk for suicide. Note on the second document, she tells them she has epilepsy. Note that on page 7, it says she doesn't take medication. We know that she did take Keppra. A suicide questionnaire that was among booking documents released Wednesday by Waller County shows that Bland also told them she was taking the anti-epileptic drug Keppra. This is a drug that should not be discontinued without medical supervision.
In another document, one that was to be filled out by the inmate and that contains Bland's signature, "no" is circled by the question asking if she's currently on any medication.
your short video from a long way away in which the cop already has her on the ground is not very compelling evidence for her not kicking him.
you do realize that one can successfully kill oneself by hanging/asphyxiation without one's feet ever leaving the ground, do you not? it does not require that the person's neck be broken.
What it most likely means is that she was a regular (probably daily) marijuana smoker.

it all depends on how high 'high' is, if you'll forgive the phrase. if it was truly a high level, it would had to have come from a more recent period of time than 3 days previous.
Just a thought, law enforcement deals with this arrogant, behavior all the time.I dont have to mentality. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Did you seriouly think he was going to stand there and sweet talk her until she felt like it? If she truly had ptsd and depression as she and her family said she could have been downright dangerous to humans period and suicide is rampant in that group of people.

Here's another thought. Since cops are expected to deal with all kinds of people, and to keep their cool, maybe this particular cop isn't right for the job. He seems to have a very short fuse when he feels someone should be submissive, and they're not.

This is exactly what I posted a few pages back. It seems that certain people of the majority population expect BETTER behavior from the common man, so to speak, but the cop who is supposed to be trained and a pro at his job can do whatever pleases him.
