Did this cop sneak into the county jail and hang the woman?

Did the county conspire to murder this woman?

In a statement late Wednesday, Waller County First Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam said, "The District Attorney's Office has full faith in the findings of the Harris County Medical Examiner's Autopsy and finding."

He added, "This false information (about the request for the new autopsy) arises from new evidence revealed today that Ms. Bland had a substantial amount of marijuana in her system at the time of her death.

how did she manage to have a high level of THC in her system after three days in jail?

Moreover, there are lapses in the time of the video both on site and
in the jail.
This poor woman was abused by that policeman and possibly by other
policemen - and it cost her her life.
The policeman should lose his job forever without pay, and stricter
rules need to be implemented. Of course, a wrongful death suit and criminal
charges are also possible.
She should have simply been given a ticket for crossing lanes without signaling.
There was no reason to force her out of her vehicle, no reason to force her
to put out her cigarette, and no reason to bring her in except for the sadistic
cruelty of the officer who is the real criminal.
Again, the DA never said the autopsy was flawed, invalid or faulty.

And yes, Sandra Bland was this weak woman who wouldn't say boo to a squirrel. Please.

Being a liar doesn't necessarily make you a murderer. But if nothing else, being locked in a cell for three days for forgetting to signal when getting out of the way of a Police cruiser, would be a factor in the death of a depressed/suicidal person.

She was apparently known and labeled as an "activist" by authorities in Texas, so I wouldn't doubt that the County was discriminatory from the beginning.

No.

After you post something as ridiculous as speculation that Sandra Bland was dead in her mugshot there's no need. No one can possibly take anything you say seriously after that bit of insanity.

Stating that people are speculating about something, doesn't mean you believe in it or are even speculating yourself.

I posted that to show the profound distrust of Police by many in society-which seems to only get worse as the days go by.

Was it always this way and the internet simply makes us more aware of it or are there more people who have demonstrated challenges dealing with temporary authority?

How long does marijuana stay in your system?

Quote:

The effects of smoking marijuana fade quickly, but can be detected in the body for weeks and sometimes longer. Most researchers agree that urine tests for marijuana can detect the presence of the drug in the body for up to 13 days. How long it remains in the system depends on how often or how much marijuana the user has been smoking. A good infographic that summarizes this per test-type is available at: http://www.theweedblog.com/how-long-does-marijuana-stay-in-your-system-infographic/

It's one thing to defend the cop, it's another to make things up.

It is against the law to assault a police officer and don't blame the mental state of people on the poor officer that has to deal with them.
