I believe it is RARE that some don't believe racism doesn't exist.

There is a faction however that would love to perpetuate it for their own purpose...sharpton is one, perhaps you are another. I on the other hand know it will never be stamped out and am very disappointed that my belief 50 years ago has turned out to be wrong.

WILL YOU IDIOTS FIND SOMEONE OTHER THAN AL SHARPTON TO BRING UP WHEN YOU PULL OUT THAT OLD TIRED RIDICULOUS ASS NOTION THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE MAKING UP RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ! PLEASE GOOGLE SOME NEW NEGROES(MOST OF WHOM WOULD NOT KNOW AL SHARPTON IF HE SPIT IN THEIR EYE).

Settle down and stop shouting.

I NEVER said black people are making up racial discrimination. There's still plenty of it, why make it up. Although I do get tired of people LEAPING to the conclusion there's discrimination when it's not proven as yet. And, there are those like sharpton that do make up stuff but more often than not are using actual actual events to benefit from it.

Are you spouting thus nonesense from that seat you instructed to take ?!

I am not the one they told to take a seat...or several seats.

AND THAT WASN'T NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!! Oh, sorry, will stop shouting now. Repeat after me...quoting from John and Paul...and yes I heard it live when it debuted...all your (we) need is love...

And that reminds me...ever read the lyrics...kind of belittling...nothing you can do that can't be done, nothing you can sing that can't be sung? Thanks for making me feel special.

The thing is, I don't even think he was particularly rude. He was actually quite courteous in the previous traffic stop and up until Sandra started becoming belligerent and mouthy. He was only giving warnings in both cases! No fine, no court date.

I still think it's odd that no one showed up to pay the $500, or even came to the jail to visit. If I was thrown in jail, regardless of the reason, a family member would have been there within hours. The family does not seem to be indigent, and the mother was able to fly down when Sandra died and transport her body back to Illinois, and is now able to pay for a second autopsy. They seem pretty polished and well-dressed. I find it hard to believe they couldn't muster up $500. Sounds fishy.

I think it's pretty rude for a police officer to drag somebody out of the car for being mouthy. Actually I think it's pretty illegal, too, but I am not a lawyer.

And if you think it's fishy that the Sandra Bland was not able to post $500 bail on a Saturday, even though her mother flew down after Sandra Bland DIED, then I really don't know what to say.

People it was $5k and you typically have to provide cash, in person and often can't do it over a weekend.

Yes, bail was $5000. You have to pay a percentage, usually 10%. So $500.

She owed between $2k-$7k in fines, so maybe $500 was beyond her means. And her family was unable or unwilling to pay it.

Regardless her family were not local and you have to provide cash in person, and you can't do it over the weekend.

A judge had already set bail...the usual bond fee would cost 10%...and yes...you can get bail bonds on weekends. What happened? Don't know. But unlike others I am interested to know more.

According to the report that guy who took additional video was her friend...what about him? Of course his statement wasn't correct and was intended to provoke.

When did he set bail? And when can you pay it? My understanding from a friend's case is that often if you are arrested on a Friday, Sat, Sun or on a holiday you end up in jail until Monday.

I'm so tired of people dying at the hands of law enforcement before law enforcement agencies are investigated and held accountable. This particular sheriff's office and jail have been cited by the state of texas several times in the past for issues that were not resolved, for which the office was not fined, and no one was fired. Only due to the senseless death of this woman, her family mentioning a lawsuit, and media glare will anything possibly be done.

Why was there a trash bag in the cell, and one large enough to hang yourself with?

Ok...let's have the links about those citations and what they were about. Excessive force? Or was it they didn't serve the food at the right temp? What are they?

Also...this woman died in jail...nothing points to it happening at the hands of law enforcement.

BTW...have you watched the full video?

She owed a bunch of fines for previous traffic citations, lack of insurance, etc. and was due to have her license suspended on July 31.
