You only know what the media decides it can report. This was a bigger event than a single person commiting suicide. You have no idea what the outcome eventually was.  |

						OMG!
 I have been posting on this thread and totally forgot that I started it!!  | 
							
						
 Your right and he didn't Sonshe should have. Both are to blame. She was not a child, stop acting like she bears no responsiblity.  | 
						
 Lol its a hot topic  | 
							
						
 Actually I think it would remarkably childish for the police officer to say that Sandra Bland made him do it. Is it her fault that the police officer dragged her out of the car? No, it is not.  | 
							
						
 Lets say she put the cigarette out. He was signing the citation while they spoke. Lets say she said "thank you"when he handed her the citation. What do YOU think would have happened next?  | 
						
 So you basically are saying that Sandra Bland made him do it. It was her fault that the police officer acted the way he did. Alternatively, the police officer has an obligation to act ethically, legally, and responsibly regardless of the behavior of the person the police officer is interacting with.  | 
							
						
 Let's say she was wearing a maxi dress instead of a mini dress. Let's say that she had a button-up collar shirt on instead of a low cut V-neck form fitted sweater. Let's say she was walking home from night school at 2100 hours instead of day school at 1500 hours. Do you really think it's her fault, and the man made him rape her?  | 
							
						
 No, I dont think its her fault. But Sandra had an opportunity to be the better person. And like it or not, she did break the law. She also killed herself, until it is scientifically proven otherwise. Did the cop handle it well, heck no. But being an egomanical cop doesn't mean her killed her either. Not sure how you stretched to an innocent female getting raped...  | 
							
						
 Made him do what? This board has pretty much already convicted him of murder...  | 
| Was she high on anything that could cause mood swings and depression later? | 
							
						
 I don't think the cop was out to rape someone  | 
						
 Could she have swallowed it when the cop stopped her? And that's why she was acting so crazy- she knew she had to go puke it back out quickly or something.  | 
							
						
 You so stupid PP  | 
							
						
 I won't be convinced it wasn't murder unless it's legally proven otherwise. You're content with the story so far, but the past couple of years I've seen too much crappy cop behavior to not be suspicious. Investigation is needed.  |
