How much more are they going to release on Sandra Bland?

[marym625]

The video of her in the jail was finally released. Though it shows she was alive in the jail, which I never doubted, it doesn't do much more than that; except to tell us that there is video of her cell. Looking right inside her cell, which up to this point, we were told didn't exist. And if there really isn't any video of her cell at the time of her death, why not?

New Video Sandra Bland in custody

Then we have additional dashcam video from the initial arrest. This from the female officer who said she saw Sandra Bland assault the first trooper. However, she says she saw something that supposedly happened prior to her vehicle arriving on the scene. We see her car pull up, passing the scene before doing a u turn.

Sandra Bland frisked

Where's the video and/or voice recording of the full 20 minutes or so between Sandra Bland being put in the car, to the time she's released to the jail? What happens while the paramedics? Is she even in the trooper's car or is she taken in by the female cop?

Additionally, we have the report from Texas Commission on Jail Standards. They cited Waller County Jail, for the second time in a few years,

for poor training regarding how to supervise suicidal and mentally disabled patients

In 2012, the jail was cited for failing to supervise inmates after James Harper Howell IV, of Bandera, committed suicide by hanging in the jail, the Associated Press reported.

One has to wonder what really happened with Mr. Howell.

Let's also not forget we have a known racist Sheriff running the show here. Sheriff Smith fired in 2008 for racism

The drips of information being handed out by the various Texas departments and agencies leaves more questions than answers. Each department involved in this should be investigated by the DoJ. And not just about Sandra Bland. Everything should be looked at.

1. They are digging a deeper hole

She cannot defend herself, she tried and died. She was targeted, I don't know why but IMHO when the cop saw her and made the u turn,he had her in his sight and he was not going to let her just get a warning. The events were set in motion and she tried to defend herself.

4. Absolutely

He chased her down, speeding to catch her, because she was black.

2. Drip. . . drip. . . drip

Your last sentence says it all. This drip drip drip of video clips raise more questions than they answer. Or, perhaps more accurately, they provide no answers to anything.

What is needed is an independent, outside, fully transparent investigation that takes a look at what happened, literally from start to tragic end.

5. After reading about Mr. Howell

I think they need to look at a great deal more than Ms.Bland's case. (There's a link within the link in the OP about him)

3. If there is video of her cell ...

then there should be video of her hanging herself.

6. That's exactly what I thought

Why doesn't it exist, according to the jail?

7. Since the Sheriff of the self-declared World's Least Racist County Ever is in charge...I have my suspicions.

Videos of nothing leaves nothing but more questions about what happened in the cell, not the hallways.

8. least racist county

That is a quote, right? I almost put the article about what he said in the OP but I figured I already had enough links in there

9. Thanks for the updates.

10. No problem

Thanks for reading them. This just has me so angry and so sad that I can't stop thinking about it
