Outraged protesters stood outside of the apartment complex where the state trooper who arrested Sandra Bland lives. The DPS officer is currently on desk duty but protesters say that’s not enough. They say the investigation is moving too slow and they want the trooper not only fired but indicted.
On a day when it felt like it couldn’t get any hotter, Quanell X and protesters lit their own fire.
“I'm a speak frank to you, in that cops mind he was saying to himself who does the N-word think she is talking to me like this. And that's when he said get out of the car I'll light you up. Well since you like lighting up black women, there's a whole bunch of black men coming today. Let's see if he's going to light some of us up,” Quanell X said.
Deputies guarded off the front entrance where Trooper Brian Encinia lives in Katy and neighbors watched, as many kept saying if it weren’t for that trooper Sandra Bland would still be alive.
I asked Imani Windom: what's your message to the trooper specifically as being a women who could put herself in Sandra Bland’s position and mindset? “You should think before you react just because she might have been rude, that's not against the law ...what she came off as in her strong voice ...she shouldn't have been treated that way,” Windom responded.
Even Gloria Rubac a white woman stood with a sign that read “Black Lives Matter.”
“I also believe in the slogan ‘black lives matter’ because I think we have to say that white lives have always mattered but in this day and age with the epidemic of police shootings I think it's a priority for all of us to say black lives matter,” Rubac said.
Protesters ended with prayer and a hope that their prayers would be answered. We also asked Quanell X if Sandra Bland’s family was on board with Sunday’s protest and he responded that it was an action he called for.
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....
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.
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.
I like that!
The mob mentality is all thanks to the current occupant of the WH.
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.
Are you quite sure you didn’t commit suicide?
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.
Don’t tell me what to do, and I do not need any clues from someone who doesn’t even know what happened.
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.
Because a cigarette can be used as a dangerous weapon, and has been before, and he’s right, and you’re not.
AS USUAL.
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.
And since when is smoking a crime?
Since when is being uncivil a crime? Even to a police officer?
I dont hate cops ...that is a lie...But I also dont REVERE them like you do...
I don’t revere cops.
I revere truth, and I respect cops.
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.
