[laserhaas]

Matt Taibbi, of Rolling Stone Magazine, though being criticized in the past for jumping on a story too quickly, has just titled his most recent item - today - "Sandra Bland Was Murdered".

Is the Death of Sandra Bland is the Cops Fault?
[/font][/center][br]

Taibbi states the following remarks and concludes, (as does many of U.S.) that no matter how you slice it up and what the left over evidences may show (remember - they had plenty of time before national outcry - to clean things up, such as the edited dashcam recording), the fact of the matter is Sandra Bland was arrested due to officers violation of policies

and she is now DEAD!

[font color=white] ----------------------------------[/font]As Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi puts it;

So news broke yesterday that authorities in Waller County, Texas, have "full faith" that Sandra Bland committed suicide. They said there was "no evidence of a struggle" on the body of the 28-year-old African-American woman who was ludicrously jailed last week after an alleged lane change violation.

Is the only thing required, to prove no foul play, is the fact that the death is ruled as "no struggle"?

Currently, there's suppose to be a Texas Ranger and FBI independent investigation and (hopefully) autopsy of Sandra Bland. Meanwhile, Matt Taibbi continues with these remarks;

In related news, 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.

All those reflections and the pic above, can be found in greater detail at...

Sandra Bland Made a Video Warning that

Surrendering to police - can still get you killed!
[/font][/center]

As verbatim, just months before her untimely demise, Sandy Bland put up comments on her page. She stated this, in defense of "Black Lives Matter" - ( at time-stamp 2:34 of the 4 minute video) - that;


"you can stand there - surrender to the cops - and still be killed"


[br]
There are many questions we all have. Such as - if, as the police claim, she made notes of being medicated and previous attempts at suicide - why wasn't she on suicide watch?

Where is the clean - totally untouched - versions of the video dashcam and all her time in the jail?

What is the name of the judge and prosecutor who kept her in jail?

Why was the 1st story we received that she hung herself and now it turns out to be a trashbag?

Does anyone - other than the authorities in Texas - actually believe this is Sandra Bland's fault?

I'm with Taibbi - Sandy's death is the authorities fault; and Black Lives don't seem to matter there.

Just sayin.....
