Sandra Bland?

What do you guys think happened to her? Yes, I know it's a very vague and open question, but I'd like to know.

Its very, out there is how I would put it, I read the conversation at the traffic stop and at first I wanted to take the cops side because she was being a little rude (although she was probably overwhelmed), but I don't think anyone should take sides until the investigation is complete (which did reveal she had depression). but to answer you question, as sad as it is, I think she committed suicide.

Well, she was a jerk to the cops, and the autopsy showed no signs of a struggle, but let's not let that get in the way of the media's race baiting.

Meh, picked up a lot of tumblr's SJW bull on this and stopped caring to be honest.

I've honestly stopped following this story because it's turning into the same old #blacklivesmatter shit that comes into play every single time a person of color is confronted by a white police officer. I am in no way a racist, but seeing stories like this every other week is absolutely ridiculous. People are losing sight as to what the story is really about, and the fact that they are using this poor woman's death to try and help some made-up cause is disgusting to me. But that's just my opinion:)

Cop went out of his way to follow her and ticket her.

She was in a bad mood, cop was too authoritarian in how he wanted her to emote with him, she failed to comply to get out of the car, cop unnecessarily escalated things, and he unlawfully took her in.


She then suicided.

He was right. It was lawful. And when Bland did not obey, she was refusing a lawful order, a crime under Texas law. Her arrest, like the confrontations that led up to it, may have been lawful, but it was entirely avoidable had Encinia chosen a different approach.

You should read and watch these things before you make any judgement on this.

People making the entirely baseless conclusion that someone killed her in her cell are not being patient with the investigation.

The cops had no reason to kill Bland in her cell. Absolutely no reason. So why would they do it and why does that seem like a more realistic scenario than her just killing herself?

I think she killed herself. Simple as that. Her detainment was lawful, however unnecessary. Bland was rude to the cop and she refused a lawful order(even if that, too, was unnecessary). Again, we see a situation in which Bland could've just followed the order and it all would've been fine. People want to make everything about race.

The cop clearly knew the law, but he went about the scenario wrong, but lawfully.

Bland killed herself(most likely), which was completely out of her own volition. Her death is her fault if she killed herself. The events leading up to it may not have entirely been her fault, but the death itself (again, most likely) was.

The point of contention is the cop got butthurt over her not putting out her cigarette.

There is no law requiring her to obey to put out her cigarette.

But she did disobey a lawful order to come out of her car.
