Never heard of her.

 

"Sandra Bland was found dead in a Waller County, Texas, jail cell on Monday at 9 a.m. after being arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a routine traffic stop, the I-Team has learned. Authorities say her death appears to be suicide."

"In numerous emails and phone calls to the ABC7 I-Team, her friends and relatives say they do not believe the official version of what happened and say this is a case of foul play in a county with a history racial intolerance."

"The Willowbrook High School graduate died by "self-inflicted asphyxiation," according to sheriff's deputies, who have turned the investigation over to Texas Rangers. Some family members and friends say Bland was found hanging in the jail cell, but authorities have not confirmed the exact circumstances around her death."

"Bland's friends disagree."

"I do suspect foul play," says Cheryl Nanton. "I believe that we are all 100 percent in belief that she did not do harm to herself."

"We're very suspicious and we're a very tight community and we're very upset that this has happened and it seems like there's nothing really being done about it," says LaVaughn Mosley."

Um. So she hangs herself in her cell and her friends and family come up with this murder conspiracy with no evidence to support it?

The majority believes that she did not commit suicide. She was on the way to an interview, no way she'd kill herself. She seems like the type to seek justice and expose scum.

Easy now. This is a relatively unknown person, so a "Who is this" comment should be expected.

No namecalling.

cheers.

Although you're right if they have enough time to be on GGD I'm sure a 10 second google search of her name wouldn't of done them any harm..

The "who" comment was uncalled for.

The OP clearly provided a video with EXACTLY who she is. If you can't or don't want to watch the video and educate yourself, don't comment at all.

She didn't hang herself, she was a really sweet woman with a bright future. As if she'd "hang herself". The officer that was in the room with her when she "hung herself" was fired from his previous job for racism and beating another woman before..

You're saying these accusations as if they're fact, with absolutely no evidence, an invented theory about a person you know next to nothing about, in a place you don't live in. Talk about bandwagon. Let's see what the inquiry has to say.

1. Bland Was in Texas to Start a New Job at Her Alma Mater

 

Bland had traveled to Texas for an interview at Prairie View A&M University, her alma mater, last week, for a job interview. Her family told ABC 7 News that Bland got the job and was going to start working at the university in student outreach on July 15.

 

Bland graduated from the university in 2008 and then returned home to Illinois. She was a member of the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., according to the website Watch The Yard.

 

2. She Was Stopped on Friday for Improperly Signaling & Allegedly Assaulted a Police Officer

The Waller County Sheriff’s Office told the Chicago Tribune that Bland was arrested on Friday and charged with “assault on a public servant.”

 

Bland was pulled over by deputies in a routine traffic stop for improper signaling of a lane change, ABC 7 reports. During the stop, she allegedly assaulted a police officer.

 

Video of the arrest was posted onto YouTube. It shows several police officers standing over Bland while she is on the ground, arguing with them about why they’re being so rough. At one point, she can be heard saying, “You just slammed my head into the ground. Do you not even care about that?” She also thanks the man recording the incident for filming as she is led to a police cruiser.

 

Her friend, Malcolm Jackson, told ABC 7, “After he (an officer) pulled her out of the car, forced her and tossed her to the ground, knee to the neck, and arrested her.”

 

Police told the news station that Bland was “combative on the side of the road.”

 

3. Her Death Has Been Ruled Suicide by Hanging, but Her Friends Say She Wouldn’t Have Killed Herself

 

The Waller County Sheriff’s Office says that Bland was found in her cell Monday morning, three days after her arrest. She was “not breathing from what appears to be self-inflicted asphyxiation,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release. Police say the officer who found her started CPR, and EMS was called. She was pronounced dead a short time later.

 

An autopsy found her cause of death to be suicide by hanging.

 

Officials said Thursday that Bland used a trash bag to hang herself from a partition separating the bed area and the bathroom, the Houston Chronicle reported.

 

“Trash bags are a day to day item in the cells,” Sheriff Glenn Smith said at a press conference.

 

She had last been seen by guards at 7 a.m., and she talked to them by intercom at 8 a.m. when she was given breakfast.

 

The district attorney says he has no information to suspect foul play. Officials also said video footage did not show anyone entering the cell, but they did not release that footage.

 

“The Waller County Jail is trying to rule her death a suicide and Sandy would not have taken her own life,” a friend, LaNitra Dean, told ABC 7. “Sandy was strong. Strong mentally and spiritually.”

 

They said she had just landed her dream job.

 

Just spoke w/ family of #SandraBland : Not one single member of the family believes, even a tiny bit, that she hung herself in her jail cell

 

— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) July 16, 2015

 

“I do suspect foul play,” another friend, Cheryl Nanton, told the news station. “I believe that we are all 100 percent in belief that she did not do harm to herself.”

 

Her sorority sister, Alana Taylor, told Watch The Yard:

 

Sandra Bland is my line sister. Her personality and outlook on life alone DOES NOT resemble uncertainty or depression. She was a strong force that took life head on. Suicide would be the last thing on her mind as she was on the brink of starting a new chapter of life: a new job, a strong cause to fight for and a thick network of support. There are just too many discrepancies and holes in the official report. As far as her friends, chapter, alma mater and family are concerned: Sandy is still speaking and somebody is gonna listen. #SandySpeaks”

 

The death is being investigated by the Texas Rangers.

 

“I understand there’s some disbelief among some friends and family that she would do this to herself,” District Attorney Elton Mathis told the Chicago Tribune. “That’s why it’s very important that the Texas Rangers be allowed to conduct a thorough investigation.”

 

“Sheriff R Glenn Smith states that any loss of life is a tragic incident and while the investigation is being conducted by outside agencies, the Waller County Sheriff’s Office will continue to observe the daily operations of the jail to always look for improvements and/or preventions of these incidents,” the press release said.

 

4. The Waller County Sheriff Was Fired From a Previous Job Over Racism Allegations

glennsherrifpic1-crop2.jpg?quality=65&st

Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith was fired from his job as police chief in Hempstead, Texas, after racism allegations were made against him and four of his officers, the Houston Chronicle reported.

 

He was fired in 2008 and elected shortly after by Waller County to be its sheriff.

 

On Thursday, at a press conference, Smith addressed the firing and racism accusations, saying it was “just politics,” and adding that two of the councilman who led the investigation into his actions were later convicted of bribery, according to the Chronicle.

 

“Black lives matter to Glenn Smith,” the sheriff said. “I can assure you of that.”

 

Daily Kos columnist Shaun King has also reported that there have been other suicides recently at the county jail.

The Chronicle, citing public records, said the last suicide was in 2012, when an inmate hanged himself with bedsheets tied to an air-conditioning grate.

 

5. Bland Often Spoke Out Against Police Brutality & Racial Injustice

Bland’s Facebook page shows that she was active in the Black Lives Matter movement and often posted about police brutality and racial injustice, including in videos she called “Sandy Speaks,” where she opined on race issues.

#SandraBland was trending on Twitter early Thursday morning as questions and concerns about her death spread across social media. Others posted with #WhatHappenedtoSandraBrand and called for a federal investigation into her death.

The signs point to foul play. People don't just kill themselves for being arrested for a traffic violation. 

A ****ing traffic violation.
