“Mah babee would never attempt suicide!”
At the beginning I thought she was having breathing problems and was about to seizure
As I think about it...
I think Ms. Bland set out that fateful day to see what Suicide by Cop is like. First hand.
She certainly mouthed off enough. But since that plan failed, she went ahead and killed herself by herself.

Homegirl had be hang herself?
Dang! That ain’t even right!
RACIST! Because.. .. . RACIST!
It seemed the more agitated she became, the more she spoke and expressed her thoughts out loud. Some people have enough self control to dial it back at such a time. She did have a point in asking ‘what am I being arrested for?’. The officer could only respond by barking yet a different order.
This is the worst case scenario. The loss of a baby effects each mother differently, as does post-partum depression.
This condition may have been a factor as to why she would not, could not shut her mouth and simply cooperate.
Did ya’all see the vid on Fox this morning of a black guy who was pissed about his bus fare, kept ramming his head into the bus door, knocked himself unconscious? Ala.. Freddie Grey anyone?
In this case, I think what the cop did was pure bull$h!t, but that didn’t mean she didn’t commit suicide in jail.
But also potentially a huge blow for the cops. The video they released of the hallway outside the holding cell showed no movement into or out of the cell area for ~2 hours before she was found. They had a prisoner who had a previous (within the last year) suicide attempt, and no one checked on her for 2 hours? Not so good.
oh boy,, but at the same time.. suicide watch was warranted,, they have a policy,, did they fail in its implementation?
what a tragedy regardless..

I watched the video. The gal was stupidly provoking I thought...and the officer was too easily riled...but police today have the extra worry that some nut case is gonna’ blow them away, and she was acting like a nut case. Also, I think under this administration some blacks feel they have some sort of right to be provoking. Nobody in their right mind, when they commit an infraction, and are pulled over by the police, needs to take the offensive. My husband and I have been stopped for being slightly over the posted speed limit, acknowledged same, treated the officer politely, and he in turn treated us the same way...in fact, ultimately let us off with an admonition. Since this girl’s traffic offense was not too serious, she may very well have been treated with courtesy if she had treated him with courtesy. Maybe even avoided a ticket...instead, sadly, she is dead.
