maybe I should re-think. hahaha

But seriously, the media has this shit grinned narrative. . . everytime a black person ends up dead after contact with police. its automatically a racist cop killing an innocent black person. the facts of each individual case don't seem to matter.

It actually makes things worse for innocent black people that are victims, cause people tune it out, the boy who cried wolf effect.

Not just "black people" ... all ACTUAL VICTIMS ...

.. and it will end up having an impact on LE responses to real incidents.

True, but the "black lives matter" loudmouths are very specific on the lives they care about. . .so that's what people will react to by tuning it out.

LE responses have already been affected, and crime is up in many cities because of it.

I recommend saying "Yes, sir" and "No, sir" and ...

.... comply with his or her* requests.

*Yes, there are female LE officers in Texas.

And don't be stoned out of your brain on...(forbidden topic).

Keep in mind, She was , supposedly, on her way to a job interview at the local University, Praire View A&M......stoned.

Apparently the trooper got a whiff of the odor when he approached ...

.. .she was apparently trying to cover it with tobacco smoke.

My guess is Prairie View took notice as well. Decent school with decent faculty.

I've never been to Texas, but where I come from, policemen and state troopers act like professionals. If a driver spits on you, that's assault. If a driver "cops an attitude," that's a subjective opinion. When I was younger, I've had to work customer service jobs where people called me a number of things to my face, and I still managed not to have any response aside from, "I apologize (X happened). I will take your complaints to a manager."

If state troopers in Texas by and large just arrest people for "attitude problems," they need to clean fucking house, then. I have a low tolerance for people who can't behave professionally in a capacity where they wield power over others.

Of course, the real likely reason for the arrest I'm finding is that Waller County does these petty arrests regularly to exploit citizens as a source of revenue in a state without state tax.

As in Ferguson, Missouri, stopping drivers and ticketing them is how Waller County makes a lot of money.
Attorney Emily Gerrick has studied the phenomenon. She is with the Austin-based Texas Fair Defense Project. It’s a nonprofit working to improve the state’s public-defender system and challenge policies that jail poor people because they can’t afford bail-bond fees and post-conviction fines and costs.
Those costs are legion and staggering. Texas has no state income tax, and money for social services must come from somewhere. Gouging people with traffic tickets and criminal convictions is an easy way for the state, counties, and municipalities to collect lots of money.
The worst place in Waller County to be driving is probably where Bland was stopped–the little town of Prairie View.
They do it through a byzantine schedule of fees. The state keeps most of the money, but counties and cities retain a percentage. There’s a $25 “records-management” fee, for instance. A $15 “judicial fund” fee. Fifteen dollars added to each bail-bond payment. The list goes on, with scores of charges. As a former Waller County Justice of the Peace described it, a trivial infraction can rack up charges totaling as much as $500.

That is irrelevant. She was not charged with drug possession or usage in any capacity. She was charged with "assaulting a public servant," which turned out to be a lie.

Apparently he asked her to put out her cigarette and according to him, she blow smoke in his face. If this is true, she deserved to be hauled off to jail.
This doesn't mean she deserved to die or be killed, but there has been no evidence that she has been killed. all evidence so far points to suicide, and that's tragic on its own. but to attempt to charge people with murder or manslaughter with no evidence is horrible and these people should be out of power.

If you are ok with living in a state that has a state income tax and elects "nanny-state " politicians like Bllomberg as Mayor of NYC, then just keep your liberal, tax-and-spend loving ass right there ! Are you yet another liberal defending a member of the Dindu Nuffins so that you can feel good about yourself and say " well, I have black friends, therefore I'M NOT racist ! " Try not to sweat to much this winter with all of that "Global warming. climate change " that is expected for you Yankees !

What amount of shame is there in being arrested for belligerence that would cause you to hang yourself. The end result is that she must have had deeper issues and disappointment in how she had treated people to the point that nobody would bail her out. The things that ultimately led to her arrest did not happen in the few minutes before she was pulled over but more than likely a lifetime sprinkled with poor choices that left an enormous chip on her shoulder. To discover that people thought so little of her to let her sit n jail must have been overwhelming enough to thrust her into a depression deep enough to take her own life. Sad.

That's the way it went down. Autopsy report confirms cause of death was ruled suicide by hanging. There was a plastic trash can in her cell which was lined with a clear plastic trash bag, Bland apparently rolled it into a rope and hung herself with it. Nothing further to investigate. Now if Black people want to dance in the street and protest they can have at it, but it won't bring Sandra back from the dead and won't make the cops guilty of her death.

Well, I've been to New York a number of times, and any time I was around a police officer (or someone who appeared to be "in authority") I was sufficiently respectful to them so it was UNNECESSARY for them to "tolerate" ANY "ATTITUDE." But I was raised to be respectful to people generally, unless of course they are disrespectful to me, and then I figure that's what they understand best so I confirm so they will comprehend.

If I were living in New York, the last thing I'd do is raise some questions about GOVERNMENT extorting money out of citizens. But you all elected Hillarious Clinton to the only elected office she's ever held, so your standards of integrity and acceptable honesty are quite clear! Extremely low, if they exist.

Otherwise, having a fucking merry christmas and stay home.
