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.

3. The cop told her to walk out of camera range

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.

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.

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:

A routine traffic stop is more like a brief stop under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U. S. 1, than an arrest, see, e.g., Arizona v. Johnson, 555 U. S. 323, 330. Its tolerable duration is determined by the seizure’s “mission,” which is to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop, Illinois v. Caballes, 543 U. S. 405, 407 and attend to related safety concerns. Authority for the seizure ends when tasks tied to the traffic infraction are—or reasonably should have been— completed.
