Bland received numerous lawful orders from the officer where she did not cooperate or comply, and as a result, got arrested and jailed to cool her heels. She then hung herself while incarcerated.

When a police officer tails someone for a distance, it is usually that the officer has radioed in to have a check run on the plates.....standard practice....

[B212]

one step closer to Fascism...vigilantes

[Jack Deth]

This is just getting.... tiresome.

Arlington, VA lockup averaged about seven suicide/hangings by bed sheets a year during the 1980s.

Usually on Friday and Saturday nights while awaiting arraignment Monday morning.

Don W: bravo, great post....I could add; police officers, are recruited from the general population, and so they are a reflection of the present day society....!!!!

[X-spurt]

I see these race baiters as akin to the stupid arabs, japs and nazis, who taunt and threaten us and then are wondering what happened when we bomb the hell out of them.

[Prov1322]

Imagine if we had people picketing the homes of the chicks on those Planned Parenthood videos, demanding they be not only fired but indicted? Liberal heads would explode.

I like that!

The mob mentality is all thanks to the current occupant of the WH.

[Above My Pay Grade]

The sole reason for ordering her out of the car is “lawful traffic stop”. That is the only reason any officer needs to order anyone out of a vehicle at any time during any traffic stop.

Any other possible motivation is superfluous and irrelevant.

[zeugma]

Are you quite sure you didn’t commit suicide?

[Bogey78O]

Nope.accurate assessment. When she refused to get out of the car that’s when he told her she was under arrest.

You might want to rewatch the video.

[chris37]

Don’t tell me what to do, and I do not need any clues from someone who doesn’t even know what happened.

[chris37]

Thank you kindly.

I have stated this fact to these people a few times, and they just laugh and mock.

They don’t seem to be able to reason past their hatred for cops, which is sickening actually.

[chris37]

Because a cigarette can be used as a dangerous weapon, and has been before, and he’s right, and you’re not.

AS USUAL.

[DoodleDawg]

Thank you Mainstream Media for spreading the distrust.

You can blame it on the media but there wasn't a reporter there escalating the situation between Bland and the cop and abusing their authority.

[DoodleDawg]

And there you have it....until she questioned putting her cigarette out...she was going to get a warning....after questioning a REQUEST to put her cigarette out...she was going to get a lesson.

And since when is smoking a crime?

[DoodleDawg]

My take? Her fault. She could have skated with a warning if she had been minimally civil.

Since when is being uncivil a crime? Even to a police officer?

[Crim]

I dont hate cops ...that is a lie...But I also dont REVERE them like you do...

[chris37]

I don’t revere cops.

I revere truth, and I respect cops.

[Citizen Zed]

Hotter heads did not prevail in this situation, for sure. I’ve had days where I could have been the enforcer or the enforced. I’m glad I wasn’t one of the parties involved.
