Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Assassination of Sandra Bland

Why did the cop return to the drivers side after taking several minutes to check her out? Why not the passenger side again? Maybe he had it in his mind to drag her out?

What information was he given about her during his check?

Anybody mentioned that even the liberal press reports that she was suicidal? And that she admitted to attempting suicide once this year already?

I feel white guilt now.














I'm over it!

Yep. i oosted the link above where she describes her depression and "ptsd"

That cop should never ever be allowed to be a policeman again. The State of Texas owes the survivor of that lady money just due to that low-life scum with a badge.

I'm leaning on murder in the first degree in that jail cell - he didn't get enough by pushing the lady around on the street. I hate to see what a scum like that would do to someone when they know they are not on camera.

Pat answered this, but just to put it in context that a lot of the predisposed are not apt to care about, nor feel compelled to research on their own, I need to restate a few things.


1. Read Mackay's post about interdiction.

2. With that in mind, those that so choose can watch the full video, the 52 minute one, and watch the stop prior to this.

3. The trooper is out doing interdiction and patrol. He has NO intentions on writing tickets today. He is noting cause for stops, and stopping people.

4. He approaches the passenger side, because some train of thought states that it is safer for the officer in the presence of a right handed shooter, and it allows him a better view of the interior.

5. He makes contact, establishes whether or not further investigation is needed. If none, he comes back to the driver's side with the book and a pen to issue a warning.

6. KEEP IN MIND THAT UNDER TEXAS LAW HE CAN ARREST THESE TRAFFIC OFFENSES WITH NO OTHER JUSTIFICATION.

7. He makes a U turn on this driver after she fails to stop at a stop sign while making a right turn.

8. She executes a lane change, unsignaled, when he is behind her. Since he is not looking to write tickets, and this is the most recent reason she has given him to pull her over, he cites this as the reason. He just wants to look in the car for "non-BS" stuff.

9. In his mind, she's getting off, but she goes into the 24hourcampfire internet bravado mode.

10. she can deny the cigarette extinguishment request, and contrary to popular consensus, he doesn't lose it when she denies him this request. I do not know what she was doing during the "noted by wyo" 8 second silence that he finally asked, "Are you finished?"

Also, during her diatribe, she states she got over to yield him the lane, then later states she noticed him tailing her. Kind of a small contradiction and may have been reason enough to ask her to get out.

11. Since he has the authority to arrest her for the offense, and he does have the authority to ask her to step out of the vehicle (I believe the Supreme Court ruled on that decades ago) her refusal to do so is where she escalates the situation.

Yes, she. Frankly, I believe there was still a chance that the situation would have mitigated if she would have got out and sucked in her ass, but it just didn't happen.

You may think junior was in the wrong, here, and frankly, I wouldn't have done the yelling, I would have waited for back up and removed her one way or another. Personally, I hate yelling.

But its good that the militant minority is turning her death into another indictment of the system which has already been vindicated a couple times, and we are arguing over an arrest which had very little to do with the issue at hand, except only to show people where there own viewpoint and biases may be.

Mine included.

We need that sarcasm font.

She didn't get mouthy until after he escalated to pull her out of the vehicle (with no probable cause).
