Nope. She was responsible for getting arrested.


"Texas lawmakers who reviewed dashcam footage of the arrest of Sandra Bland confirmed Tuesday that she was "threatened" with a Taser during a traffic stop — and believe that she should never have been arrested.

"Once you see what occurred, you will probably agree with me that she shouldn't have been taken into custody," state Sen. Royce West said at a news conference held before the dashcam video was made public."



Have you seen the dash cam footage? It made me sick. That cop was so out of line. He abused his authority and was clearly angry that she was standing up for her rights. Even if she did kill herself its on him for creating the ridiculous illegal situation that led to it. He should be fired and prosecuted.


I totally agree. Like another poster said, some (I believe a lot) of cops have god complexes. When I get pulled over, I know it was because I did something wrong, even when it's minor. I seethe inside when I "yes, sir" the d-bag, but ultimately, he's the authority, and it's my duty to comply. This cop is horrible, and try as he might to justify, he went completely overboard and deserves to be punished for it.

There are some police officers that do have an attitude, but black or white, you be polite and comply and deal with the ticket/warning after the fact.

She esclated the the interaction...no sympthay for her.


I do have sympathy for her, and it should not have ended this way. That said, in addition to police escalating the situation, she did her part in escalating it as well. It was a simple offence to which if she had politely complied, this would have ended very differently.

Why didnt she put out the cigarette? Everyone knows some police have a "god" complex and believe what they are untimely in charge. She could have complied with his request (right or wrong) instead SHE chose to continue to provoke him.

There are mouch deeper problems concerning police and the AA community all over the country. What battle did she think she was fighting at that moment? She should have shut her mouth ( like an adult) complied with the begin request and got her warning.


So you don't think a trained professional who is on the clock is the one with the responsibility to deescalate the situation?

I agree, the penalty for failure to use your signal is death. Next time you speed or forget to use your turn signal, or drive with a burned out tail light you were not aware of , I think you should be prosecuted for a capital offense.


YOU have no idea what actually happened in that jail cell. Until an independent authority confims it wasnt suicide, she took her own life.
