I think you have to tell me how long it had been in her system. Surely there's some kind of food content which will/could tell us something.
She wasn't exactly a Sunday school teacher...but I sure don't agree with what the cop did...and sure don't think she should have been in jail.

After the incident escalated into an altercation between her and the trooperAltercation "between" her and the trooper?
No.
She resisted a legal order, he went to arrest her and she resisted.

I bet they never even checked her keester.
They would have. But Laz was out of town that day.

They do not allow contact visits in jail. They sometimes allow them in prisons.

Certain ethnic groups in our society have a fleeting grasp on reality.

So how does the family even remotely think this is a murder?
Its not the family.
Her death was originally ruled a suicide, although officials have said they are handling it as a murder probe.

The cop is probably in trouble. He looks to White and the perp is a double, possibility triple protected minority. Whether he personally did anything wrong is beside the point.

I thought she had a bit “tude”....I guess some of that time the camera showed her moving around and hunched over while the LEO was in his unit wasn’t just fretting, huh....Can you say “Choom Big Gulp?”

She had a lot of time to injest it while the cop was running her license.

They do not allow contact visits in jail. It depends on the jail. Some county jails in Texas allow in person visits, usually in a visiting room with several guards present. I don't know about Waller County.

She had a lot of time to injest it while the cop was running her license. She did get a lot more agitated and belligerent after she had been sitting by herself for awhile.
But if she had ingested that much right before they arrested her I would think it would have either made her visibly psychotic or worked its way through her system by the time she killed herself.

She resisted a legal orderWhich order was that?
Cop: "Do you mind putting out that cigarette?"
Soon to be dead person: "I'm in my own car."
Cop: "I'll light you up."
The cop never made an order; he asked if she minded putting out the cigarette. She minded.

More likely your scenario. I find it hard to believe she was smoking that much in a holding cell. That's usually not allowed, and all your items are taken from you before you're put in one. She could have had the stuff secreted on herself, but she should have been stripped frisk/searched by appropriate staff prior to being put in the cell. Most jails require that medical staff see new admissions within a specific period of time. Medical staff will ask about known medical conditions, prescribed medications, etc. Plus they'll check the person's body to make sure there are no injuries. This way the perp can't come back and say the staff did it to them when they were arrested/processed. I haven't seen any info that she was examined by medical personnel. If one isn't on duty, they usually have one, even a doctor on call 24 hours a day.
I read that there were discrepancies between the answers she gave on the form she filled out, and the answers entered into the system. If she claimed she'd attempted to commit suicide before, she should have been seen by medical staff to determine if she needed to be put on suicide watch. You always want to err on the side of caution with these things.

Okay, maybe it’s just county jails in Ohio that don’t allow contact. It’s through a Plexiglas window with a phone receiver as far as I know.

Depending on how much marijuana you use, the drug can stay in your system for a long time. I heard years ago that the roots of your hair can retain drug use info for well over a month. And that was back when the tests weren’t as advanced as they are now.
