The cops are guilty of...of what!? How does this woman's suicide put a finger of blame on the cops? The arresting cops weren't in the jail cell with her. Oh, wait. I suppose this means the correction officer's murdered her? They strung her up because... why? Oh, please share your enlightened wisdom on this matter.
Stable and professional people (as she is now being painted as) usually don't end up on the ground, fighting and swearing at the cops while getting their wrists shackled before being dragged off to jail.
It doesn't put the finger on the cop OR jail staff.
Again, we're not seeing an almost one-hour tape of that traffic stop from start to finish, and there's a reason the evening news isn't showing film of the officer telling her 15 times to get out of the car.. And people apparently don't care that the media have shown film of her jail cell from the time someone last checked on her to the time that she was found hanged.No one had entered that cell in the interim.
Enough with this Strange death in Waller TX nonsense as if this were an alien abduction.

I'm sorry, she was out of line...I hope her behavior had nothing to do with her death in that she was harmed by the police, but she was an idiot. I would have slapped the fire out of her myself.
1) She makes a right turn onto a two lane street. Cop does a U turn and starts to speed up to catch up to her.
2) She moves from the left lane to the right lane as he is approaching her from behind quickly.
3) He pulls nehind her and pulls her over.
4) He walks up to the car and says something like "what's wrong with you?". he takes her license and reg and goes to his car for about 5 minutes
5) He walks back up to the car and says, is there a problem. She starts to tell him yes, she has a problem that he is pulling her over, That she changed lanes to get out of his way. He says "Are you done now". She responds that she was answering his question..
6) he asks her to put her cigarette out. She asks why, because she is in her car. he tells her to get out ofthe car and it goes down hill from there.
She definitely made things worse, but he didn't do himself any favors. he was picking at her. Why he would pull someone over for getting out of the way of a quickly approaching police car is beyond me. He didn't do anything to deescalate the situation.
I saw the video and she certainly didn't help herself . I also wander why her family did not bail her out within hours. Might be she couldn't even be booked how she was acting in the stop.it looked like dozens of traffic stops I have witnessed with people going crazy .

I agree. She was definitely loose with all the cursing and calling the cop the p word. That really got his goat, I'm sure.
To me I could careless what happened during the traffic stop, I only care about what happened at the jail. The officer isn't going to be charged with anything on the traffic stop, because he didn't break any laws. Whether you agree with the officers decision to arrest her, he didn't have to explain that to the lady and so he made an arrest. The only thing that is left here is to determine whether this was a suicide or there was foul play. Again the dash cam video is irrelevant to me. But once again that is where the most focus is going to go and we are going to be arguing this case for months, and I believe that we are never going to fully understand what happened.

If you pull your eyes from the back of your head, you'll realize that the time I created this thread (5 days ago) there were few details on this case.

Her family was in Illinois.
