    yeah does anyone have a link to the full report of this death anyone , Last12exit , muskyrat,rr ,justagirl

    I'm pretty sure I've never claimed to have read a completed report. And also if you have been reading any of my posts, they are in response to the most recent facts/news that have been released.

    So It's conclusive that she hung herself that she actually did it ..ok then case closed she was demented and decided to kill herself over a traffic violation ....all cases should be so easy to figure out no police abuse here ok ....

    (Sarcasm noted).

    And it would be about race because the whole police/race issue would likely be what the cops murdered her over (to avoid being accused of it, given the arrest video). That's what I think is going on. That woman did not kill herself. I don't believe it for a second.
    This comment contradicts what you've been saying your last couple of comments. I read this as you think the cop's killed her.
    Wtf? Don't you guys know the difference between conjecture and making a definitive statement where knowledge is involved?? Right, I don't believe that the woman killed herself. That doesn't mean that I know a damn thing. And this whole time I have ALSO stated that I think a really thorough investigation needs to be done, and specifically said that even if the cops didn't do it, then they still need to figure out what went wrong so it doesn't happen again. Just referencing a couple of my many posts in this thread does not give a complete picture of what I've said overall. I think you, Thirty, know better than that.

    Thanks thirty bills. That's what I was referring to pj soul.

    Can we all agree this was just a rush to conclusion due to the recent race issues in this country, and move on? She doesn't deserve this much attention or energy as we are using.

    She killed her self. No sympathy for that. If she truly was hung by an officer in a jail cell, then I could undetstsnd, but it's been proven otherwise. I'll be moving on, and hopefully others can do the same.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not agreeing with that. The recent race issues with the cops were my very last though in this matter.
    You do not know that she killed herself any more than I know she didn't, btw. Not in my opinion, anyway.

    Why are you undervaluing this woman's life so much??

    The coroner concluded that this was suicide.

    The coroner concluded that this was suicide.

    Yeah, because she was found hanging. I'm not satisfied with that conclusion, which is why more investigation is needed.

    Would you be satisfied if the video was in her cell? What you're insinuating is that the entire police department AND the coroner's office is involved in some sort of conspiracy.

    No, I think the coroner just looked at how she died and made an assumption. I don't think he or she is involved in anything. I don't think the entire police station staff were all in on it either. I never said any such thing.

    Look, I don't have a conspiracy theory here. At all. I simply think the whole thing seems fishy, and I don't think the woman actually killed herself. That's it. That's all I've ever really said. I actually think it's a pretty reasonable idea. I think it's ridiculous that some of you are acting like I'm saying man never landed on the moon.

    Is there enough evidence that this is her fault and no one else's yet?

    yes Muskydan & rr & LASTEXIT10 said so lol ...
    No, my guess is that most are just angry the cops played no part in her death.
    Bingo
    No im more concerned that if my kid was to be arrested and died in custody id think we would get a real thorough investigation , you muskyrat & rr have already claimed investigation complete nothing to see here lets move on im more concerned that a person died or killed themselves in a fucking Jail cell with hundreds of cops there .....
    No, I haven't. The conspiracy theories that many of you have claimed, like she was dead in her mugshot, was pretty much debunked by the release of this video.

    In this particular case, the doubters feel this woman shouldn't have been arrested. Then she died. So many of you jumped to the idea that he cops killed her. The police initially released the video ofthe hallway nobody went down when she died. That wasn't enough for you guys. So then, the rumor was she was dead in her mugshot. Well, that's been squashed. What's next?
    And I've never said I thought that the police were to blame for this death ...
    Ok, "most of you" has some wiggle room.
    Actually, I don't think anyone actually said the cops were to blame. I think the feeling is that that's a possibility, and a really intense investigation is needed to 1) rule that out, and 2) to figure out what did happen while a person died in police custody, since whether or not she was murdered, it shouldn't have happened, and we need to figure out how to prevent it in the future (hence the earlier discussion about the use of cameras or other kinds of surveillance in jails). IF she really did it to herself (something I still doubt, but never claimed to know), then that has to be investigated too, since it IS the responsibility of the police to keep those in their custody safe, from others and from themselves. And THEN there is the whole issue of the arrest itself, which I firmly believe was absolute bullshit on the part of that cop.
    Most of the people in this thread thinks the cops killed this woman. Saying otherwise just means you're not reading the posts.
    For the record, my entire participation in this thread has been about the arrest, and even though I feel the cop acted entirely like a dickwad, I don't hold him responsible.

    Well if some cop or other lied somewhere during the investigation, then they would end up with false info, no? .... Why am I coming back to OJ Simpson in my head.... wasn't there a lying a cop in that case?

    I've always seen the coroner on the scene of the crime within an hour. Now, that absolutely doesn't mean shit couldn't have been tampered with. But coroner's typically can smell funny business.

    That is from my own personal experience as a fireman. Not a cop. I'm not a cop and don't claim to be one.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/25/opinion/on-the-death-of-sandra-bland-and-our-vulnerable-bodies.html

    During the ill-fated traffic stop, most of which was caught on camera, Mr. Encinia asked Ms. Bland why she was irritated and she told him. She answered the question she was asked. Her voice was steady, confident. Mr. Encinia didn’t like her tone, as if she should be joyful about a traffic stop. He told Ms. Bland to put her cigarette out and she refused. The situation escalated. Mr. Encinia threatened to light her up with his Taser. Ms. Bland was forced to leave her car. She continued to protest. She was placed in handcuffs. She was treated horribly. She was treated as less than human. She protested her treatment. She knew and stated her rights but it did not matter. Her black life and her black body did not matter.

    Because Sandra Bland was driving while black, because she was not subservient in the manner this trooper preferred, a routine traffic stop became a death sentence. Even if Ms. Bland did commit suicide, there is an entire system of injustice whose fingerprints left bruises on her throat.

    In his impassioned new memoir, “Between the World and Me,” Ta-Nehisi Coates writes, “In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body — it is heritage.” I would take this bold claim a step further. It is also traditional to try and destroy the black spirit. I don’t want to believe our spirits can be broken. Nonetheless, increasingly, as a black woman in America, I do not feel alive. I feel like I am not yet dead.

    What the heck would be a motive for the jailers to kill this lady?

    Street cops don't work as jailers. Does it make any sense that a street cop would convince jailers to kill this lady? "Hey Bob, this lady wouldn't put her cigarette out ... Can you kill her and make it look like a suicide? No one will be the wiser since we are living in a time where white cops / black people are at a boiling point. See you next Thursday at bowling, Bob "

    Cops are dicks to anyone that questions their authority. I know from first hand experience.

    I've moved on. I explained how I felt above.

    But I must say, in the span of one page I'm seeing talk about the moon landing, and the oj case, to back up your (incorrect) theory. Just admit you're wrong or let it go.

    I can't help myself but to say tho... No ones ever been on the moon. If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell ya. Google "a funny thing happened on the way to the moon" as it has some great insight to the supposed moon landing we all know.

    I'll back up my claim with this. If we went to the moon in 1969 (lol) then why haven't we had a man back on it since? Because it never happened!

    So race division is being fueled by the black community? Hahaha. You might want to check that statement, it's way out there rr. Your privileged white male attitude is showing.

    Tell me, how do you have any idea how a black person feels when they get pulled over? You can only go by your experiences as a white male. Black people (this writer) go by theirs.

    Maybe show a little class and empathy for Ms. Bland....you have shown very little so far.

    "Her Black life and black body did not matter" that's a bit dramatic isn't it?
    The author clearly is trying to make this into a much bigger broader issue then it really is.
    The Author not once places any blame on the woman,not even for her death at her own hand.

    Her life was not in danger when she got pulled over.If she was polite and at the very least compliant she may have left with a benign warning or a bullshit ticket and been on her way.3 days later she commits suicide.
    Isn't that A black woman taking a black life? Why must this case go from a simple traffic stop to a race inspired death?
    Are you saying the stress of this situation and the fact that she was of color forced her to kill herself.Thats nonsense.

    Ano Dig I'm showing no class because I don't agree with the extremely biased author?
    Or because I want individual accountability instead of this new PC version where blame is placed on others right off the bat and excuses are made for an individual's actions.Cmon.please

    Dig this is complete propaganda.Enough of this nonsense already.I heard some white politician talking in a public forum with a mixed crowd on CNN this week he started to say Black Lives Matter,White Lives Matter,All lives matter but when he got to White lives the boos from the crowd nearly drowned him out,Nonsense.
    According to the above rascist Ms Bland did nothing wrong except be black.Bullshit!!!!! Race division in this country is being fueled by the black community and nonsense like this.Regardless of color an individual needs to own there own actions.period,

    She was mouthy.
    Whoop.
    Dee.
    Fucking.
    Doo.

    Your tone reminds me of the 3rd generation MD's that preached about how hard they worked and if people owned their actions and worked harder they could have anything they wanted.
    Doctors?
    And I don't disagree with that^^^^

    During the ill-fated traffic stop, most of which was caught on camera, Mr. Encinia asked Ms. Bland why she was irritated and she told him. She answered the question she was asked. Her voice was steady, confident. Mr. Encinia didn’t like her tone, as if she should be joyful about a traffic stop. He told Ms. Bland to put her cigarette out and she refused. The situation escalated. Mr. Encinia threatened to light her up with his Taser. Ms. Bland was forced to leave her car. She continued to protest. She was placed in handcuffs. She was treated horribly. She was treated as less than human. She protested her treatment. She knew and stated her rights but it did not matter. Her black life and her black body did not matter.

    Because Sandra Bland was driving while black, because she was not subservient in the manner this trooper preferred, a routine traffic stop became a death sentence. Even if Ms. Bland did commit suicide, there is an entire system of injustice whose fingerprints left bruises on her throat.

    In his impassioned new memoir, “Between the World and Me,” Ta-Nehisi Coates writes, “In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body — it is heritage.” I would take this bold claim a step further. It is also traditional to try and destroy the black spirit. I don’t want to believe our spirits can be broken. Nonetheless, increasingly, as a black woman in America, I do not feel alive. I feel like I am not yet dead.

    Thanks!

    A horseshit, opinion piece that echoes the mentality that, to be blunt, has failed miserably in this thread.

    'Routine traffic stop became a death sentence'. Yah. Yes. Yes indeed.

    F**king nonsense.
