Sandra Bland, the real mugshot!

[El Diablo Blanco]

Do you think its legal to run a red light if there is absolutely no one else on the road? You cant be that stupid?? 
You REALLY think that traffic rules only apply when others are known to be affected? LOL
 

Fuck,  so are you saying I'm breaking the law going 120 mph at 3:00 am when the freeway is empty?

[Irongrip400]

It's possible she actually did kill herself.   And the cops did nothing more than ignore the paperwork saying "she's on meds and admitted suicidal".  

That mugshot looks like a half-assed attempt to cover this error.  They know they're looking at lawsuits, prosecution, etc for missing the paperwork.  Writing over dates, creating a 2nd set of documents, and then a mugshot where gravity pulls face, the floor as a background, deadpan look, hair falling backwards, and wearing her jail clothes already...

Seriously fishy pic.  IMO, this is an example of a cover-up being worse than the crime (neglect on paperwork).   And of course, the police lose ALL credibility when they do this.  And of course, people will defend them with "they didn't kill her, they only faked a pic, what's the big deal?" because they don't like the dead person here.  But if it was their parent/ child/ themselves that was posed dead in a mugshot, there'd be outrage.

I don't concern with the characteristics of the victim - my concern is with police abusing their power (IF this is the case with a faked mugshot here).   If the mugshot is real, they should be shouting it from the roof top.  This looks like a very sloppy 2am cover-up job here... down to lowering brightness on her early pics so nobody can see details... shady as fcck.  

You're a trip dude.

He did infringe on her rights when he asked her to extinguish her cigarette. there was no reasonable risk that the officer or anyone elses immediate safety would be compromised if she didn't put out her cigarette nor would her failure to comply hinder any investigation. so it doesn't qualify as a "lawful order", as such she had every right to question and disobey that request.

it only escalated to him asking her to exit the car because she refused to comply with a request that she had no legal obligation to obey. he told her while she was still in the car that she was under arrest.....even if legally he was not required to say why at the time, what was the offence at that time?

because from what i read, her only charge was "assaulting a public servant"....so she was under arrest in the car for something she would do in the future?

at the end of the day anyone with 1/2 a brain can see that the officer acted ridiculously. he should have never asked her to put her cigarette out in the first place and once she refused, he should have accepted it was her right to do so, given her the ticket and they could have both been on their way.

I still think it was a suicide.   I just think the police booking team did a shitty job on the "suicide rules" when she wrote she had previously attempted, and then they didn't follow protocol.

I think she died somehow, could be any cause, could be another inmate just putting a pillow on her, could be real suicide.  But I think the police panicked, realized they had a suicide case on their hands and didn't follow the steps, and decided to make up "weed swallowing stories", or fake mugshots to keep some timeline intact. 

Many are accusing police of murder.  I'm not.  I'm just saying it smells like a faked picture, which makes us ask a lot of Qs.

Agreed, cops have a very shitty job.  He started their interaction politely, and with respect.  If she would have returned the favor, she'd probably drive away with a warning.   

Wrong.

The citizen does not have to be polite, as long as they are not breaking the law. If a cop cant handle getting his poor little feelings hurt, then he should not be a cop. If a cop gets his feelings hurt, and that leads him to being a dick, then again, he should not be a cop. Awwww, poor wittle cop. Someone was mean to him.  Again, the cop should only take action when someone is directly breaking the law. Not because their poor little cop feelings are hurt.

Why would anyone not want to be polite?

[timfogarty]

Seems fairly clear to me.   

the problem is, as any non-cis white male can tell you, that laws are selectively enforced.

[forillagorilla]

YOUUUUUU  silly bastard... 

[Hulk-smash!]

Right.  I love how the "Uncle Tom" black cop chick starts adding her BS into the supposed injuries of the redneck in the dashcam video.

Indicators, the clue is in the name you dumb twat.
They are to "indicate" your intention to other road users.



Can you think of another use for indicators on a vehicle?

That's your first mistake when replying to this Twaddle character. Which is why I quit replying to him / her. Some people will see ONLY what they want to see .....

[The_Iron_Disciple]

The point he was making CLEARLY went right over your head.

[Simple Simon]

Even if you are stopped and you haven't done anything wrong, why would you want to be rude about it?
Just be polite and ask why you have been stopped, being an asshole is never productive.

[Hulk-smash!]

Right.  Then go around spouting BS like "we can see things you can't" but don't do a goddam thing but talk, talk, talk.

Not sure what world you live in, but being an asshole is actually quite productive. And I'm being quite serious.

Anyways, gettin back on topic, she was polite in the beginning ... even after getting pulled over for a bs reason. Things only escalated when she felt her rights were being infringed upon.

Right.  Then go around spouting BS like "we can see things you can't" but don't do a goddam thing but talk, talk, talk.

Exactly. Thank you.

[Agnostic007]

I'm not playing into what it would take to do it.  All I'm saying is that she was dead in mugshot and laying on the ground when they took the mugshot.  How it happened is the next step.  You're an idiot to ignore the facts.

You're gullibility is truly astounding

[Agnostic007]

We don't need a massive conspiracy to be outraged:

1) The officer had no real reason to pull her over- inaccurate. turn signal is required by law

2) The officer had no right to order her to put out her cigarette- Depends. If he felt she was irate and belligerent enough to burn him on the hand when he passes the ticket book.. then yes he can.
3) The officer had no reason to order her out of the car- Supreme court says otherwise
4) The officer had no reason to arrest her- disobeying a lawful order would be one reason   
5) There is no reason to keep someone overnight, let alone 3 days, for a traffic violation- You're right.. but she was arrested for resisting, which is a reason
6) If she was really suicidal, then it was gross negligence not to have her on suicide watch- Not really. She answered the questions in a manner that didn't indicate an immediate risk
7) why did she have a plastic bag in her cell that she could use to strangle herself?- I would imagine the trash bag was for trash. Not to strangle herself. cells also have sheets, which can also be used to strangle yourself.

[Agnostic007]

Sandra's car appears just after 1 minute mark.  He makes a u turn, rushes up behind her. At 1:55 she changes lanes without signaling to get out of his way.  He then pulls in behind her and turns on his lights.  She then pulls over and stops.

which video did you watch? I watched the one you posted and saw none of what you saw

[Rami]

BS, the photo were she is dead is just some spoof photoshop by the kids at anonymous

[Boost]

Albert Fish wants to eat you.

[240 is Back]

correct, but the actual mugshot photo looks staged as well.

hair falling backwards, not down.
Face pooling.  neck marks.  background matching floor.
Wearing uniform and not the street clothes. 

It doesn't give us any answers, but it sure gives some Qs that need looked at.

[Teutonic Knight]

She was dead.  Deal with it.  Huge coverup.

...........so what  .....................

[Simple Simon]

...........so what  .....................

She was a monumental pain in the arse, perhaps cops can do something more productive with their time now its not taken up with her constant time wasting.
