Video of Sandra Bland’s Arrest in Waller County, Texas; Chicago Woman Found Unresponsive in Jail Cell After Traffic Stop
Below is the video of Sandra Bland's arrest in Waller County, Texas on Friday. Officials kept her in police custody over the weekend, and report finding her unconscious and unresponsive in a jail cell on Monday morning. Officials are reporting that she probably committed suicide, but family and friends are saying this is highly unlikely, especially given her recent relocation for a new job at Prairie View A&M University, the institution she attended and graduated from. Given the tone of the interaction during her arrest, and reports of a history of "racial intolerance" in Waller County, one can reasonably question the official story about what happened to Sandra Bland.
Ultimately, something seems really off about this, and I hope we continue to get a better sense of what really happened to Sandra Bland.
