(57,936 posts)He walks toward and then beyond the back of the truck. Did the officers and the tow truck driver put Sandra Bland into a car? Where is the video of that action?
What happened to Sandra after she disappeared from the video?
And the officer's talk at the end of the video? Where and when did that really take place? Was it really there on the street or at some other time?
Lots of questions about this tape. What happened when they put Sandra Bland into the car? Why don't we have video of her in the car? These may be unimportant questions, but that is the point at which the video seems to be especially suspicious.

(9,696 posts)He knew exactly where the camera was, and told her to walk over to the side where the camera couldn't see what he was about to do. Listening to the audio of that was chilling. And at the end when he kind of laughs about being kicked but not really injured.
So sad for Sandy's family.

(8,267 posts)I have never, EVER gotten pulled over for not signaling.
I hope this racist cop, and the female cop who colluded with him in this travesty, spend the rest of their lives in prison.

(39,346 posts)The full video shows it. The cop car came up her back quickly. I bet most people would have reacted the same way; focus on getting out of the way and forgetting to signal. Bullshit stop to begin with.
The cop baited her. So what if she wasn't pleased as punch that he stopped her. It's called human nature; it's not a crime. Then he pulls his stun gun out? He deserved every bit of verbal truth he got from her after he yanked her from the car.
He knew he was wrong, too. Basically telling the female cop, "You saw it, didn't you?" Then he lies about her swearing about the ticket while she was in the car. Didn't happen, which, of course, the tape shows.
Someone was breaking the law here, and it was the cop,. From a SCOTUS ruling earlier this year:
