The cop had every right to ask her to put out the cigarette. Should cops just stand there and allow themselves to be burnt?
He had no right. No law was being broken, and sitting in her car, she and her DANGEROUS cigarettewere no threat to the officer.
The citation was written and handed to Bland, end of stop, even SCOTUS said so this year.
Your ideological, poilitical stupidity continues without relief.
Sandra Bland Was Murdered
Suicide or not, police are responsible for Sandra Bland's death
the Texas Department of Safety ruled that Brian Encina, the officer who arrested Bland, pulled her from her car, and threatened her with a Taser, had merely violated the state's "courtesy policy." The state said there was "no evidence" yet of criminal behavior on Encina's part.
So barring something unexpected, we know now how this is going to play out in the media.
Many news outlets are going to engage in an indirect version of the usual blame-the-victim game by emphasizing the autopsy finding of suicide, questioning Bland's mental health history, and by highlighting the reports of marijuana found in her system.
Beyond that, we can expect a slew of chin-scratching "legal analyses" concluding that while there may have been some minor impropriety on officer Encina's part, the law governing police-motorist encounters is too "complicated" to make this anything more than a tragic accident.
Media scandals are like criminal trials. They're about assigning blame. Because Bland may have technically taken her own life, the blame is now mostly going to fall on a woman with a history of depression and drugs, instead of on a criminal justice system that morally, if not legally, surely murdered Sandra Bland.
Backing up: It's been interesting following conservative news outlets after the Bland case. They've been con uously quiet this week, holstering the usual gloating backlash of the "He'd be alive today, if he'd just obeyed the law" variety.

The Video of Police Killing of Sam Dubose Is Apparently so Bad Cincinnati Is Preparing for Riots
Even the police chief admits what the video shows is "not good."
After a routine traffic stop by a University of Cincinnati Police Officer, Sam Dubose ended up dead with his face blown off. The officer was wearing a body camera, but the city refuses to release in the video. In the meantime, everybody who sees it is deeply disturbed, including the citywide police chief.
Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said he's seen the unreleased footage from a University of Cincinnati officer's body camera during last week's fatal shooting and "it's not good."
"The video is not good," Blackwell said. "I think the city manager has said that also publicly. I'll leave it there."
Here's the City Manager...
City Manager Harry Black also spoke about the unreleased body camera video of the shooting."It's not a good situation," Black said. "It's a tragic situation, someone has died that did not necessarily need to die."
All studies indicate that in nearly 99% of instances of police killing someone, even in the most egregious cir stances, "something appropriate" doesn't actually happen and officers are let off.

Kansas City hotel manager hangs black doll from doorway in office to mock Sandra Bland
This, ladies and gentlemen, is your America.A white hotel manager of the Adams Mark Hotel in Kansas City, hung a black slave doll from the doorway of the office with a garbage bag in an apparent mocking of the death of Sandra Bland.
In searching for eloquent words to explain this bull , I have few.
American racism is deep, sick, and flagrant.
In your mind, I dare you to rewind to the moment in which this asshole, a white supervisor with black employees no less, conceived the idea, gathered the materials, and proceeded to act on his instinct to do such a thing.

Native American Activist Arrested for Traffic Fine, Dies in Jail 1 Day After Sandra Bland
On July 9th, Rexdale W. Henry, 53, was arrested for failure to pay a traffic fine. Five days later, on July 14, Henry would be found dead in a Neshoba County, Mississippi jail cell.
Henry’s death was swept under the rug, with local media releasing only a three-sentence blurb, stating that the autopsy is being performed, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is looking into the death.
According to the report, police last saw Henry alive at 9:30 am and just 30 minutes later he would be found dead in his cell. No cause of death has been released, and no other details surrounding his death have been given to the public.
The lack of coverage of Henry’s death is indicative of the epidemic of police killings of Native Americans. It is a lesser known truth that Native Americans are killed by cops at a rate higher than any other ethnic group.
Accordingto the data, Native Americans make up less than 1 percent of the population, but they account for 2 percent of the deaths that occur at the hands of police.

VIDEO: Crowd Becomes Angry as They Watch Swarms of Cops Jump on One Man in a Target Store
“witnessed several police officers repeatedly jumping with their knees on the victim’s head while he was already being held by a team of additional officers.”
The video then shows half a dozen officers putting their weight on the man as they held him face down on the floor. One officer could be seen repeatedly putting his knee on the man’s head and pressing it against the floor while at least two others were striking the man with their fists. The man was unarmed according to witnesses, and at no point does the video show the man trying to strike or fight the officers.
a number of onlookers were particularly vocal in their objections to the behavior of the police. Some moved in just close enough that most of the sixteen or so officers on the scene quickly shifted their focus to trying to keep the crowd back. The police very clearly appeared nervous and concerned about being surrounded and outnumbered by an angry (but non-violent) crowd.

That Cleveland er lied about it got caught on tape anyway. He's going to burn. Good riddance.
the family has hired mark o'mara as their attorney
his mother is on tv reciting bible scriptures smh. black christians are too forgiving and too passive. white devils who claim to be christians don't care about the bible lady.
Now youre just being stupid.
i'm fed up and angry fam. i'm tired of black victims praying for and asking forgivenes of these devils
labeling them white devils when LEOBOR and its bull transcend race makes you appear the racist.
catch on slower?
white people who constantly support cops killing unarmed blacks while claiming to be christians are devils, in my opinion. if that makes me appear to be a racist, i'm fine with that.
as opposed to the black people who support it? again, this is stupid.
You realize your boy Shaun King has been exposed as a liar multiple times starting since high school?

American Indian mother of two dies in police custody after her repeated pleas for help ignored
The ugly American secret has been exposed. All across the country, women and men are dying in police custody and have been by the thousands every year.Four days before Sandra Bland was arrested in Waller County, Texas, a 24-year-old American Indian woman of the Lakota tribe, Sarah Lee Circle Bear of Clairmont, South Dakota, was arrested on a simple bond violation.
Witnesses stated that before being transferred to a holding cell, Circle Bear pleaded to jailers that she was in excruciating pain. Jail staff responded by dismissing her cries for help, telling her to “knock it off,” and “quit faking.” Inmates cried out for the jail staff to help Circle Bear, to which they eventually responded by picking her up off of the floor, dragging her out of the cell, and transferring her to a holding cell. Circle Bear was later found unresponsive in the holding cell.

Trolling Stone, the same failing liberal rag who's getting sued for running a false rape story and slandering an entire fraternity.
