Suicide while in police custody--Sandra Bland

A police officer stopped Sandra Bland  vehicle for a  failure to use her turn signal when switching lane traffic violation.  A traffic violation which should have been a warning or a traffic ticket for a fine, turned into an what is deemed "driving while black" arrest.

A video dusplats an irritated Bland challenging being asked to put out her cigarette which drew disdain from a police officer.  The officer began to engage Bland in unnecessary conversation for a routine traffic stop.  

The more expressive  Bland became in her remarks, the officer respond began to trigger in the conversation fior probable cause reason for Bland's arrest.  

Bland was taken into custody.  We know she was Haled off to jail.  While in custody Bland died.  Now we are left with questions, such as how did this happen?   
#JusticeForSandy and #WhatHappenedToSandyBland.

The autopsy declares death by suicide.  I questions are endless when wondering how this could happe, if Bland disclosed she had suicidal  tendencies.  Why was detain for three day?  When was she scheduled to appear in court for her preliminary hearing?

Note:  The Department of Public Safety trooper, who has been on the force for just over a year, has been placed on administrative leave for violating unspecified police procedures and the department's courtesy policy.

Fort Wayne Finest Police Officers

City of Fort Wayne Police Station

Dear Police Chief Rusty York
City of Fort Wayne


The bully patrol was in the neighborhood today. I noticed them out my back window. As well as my new neighbor's building a fence. My neighbor probably has not been in the neighborhood more than six months. But, has been a victim of burglary at least once. By building his fence, he will reduce the pass through traffic. Criminals who pass through to see what you got for a quick grab, or to move property to a new location.

So seeing this,I was a little alarmed. Especially with the weather warming up, and with my last meet and greet with a break in "at the top of my stairs" moment. So, I decided to do what I do best, investigate. When I finally caught up with officers driving cars #430, #129, and #138. I did not ask their names, after their rude and insolent behavior. Specifically car #129, I asked him what was going on? He decided to be a smart mouth. Me, of all people, I am not the one. Remember I wrote you about behavior that was unbecoming of another one of your officer.

I still believe these officers need cultural sensitive training, and gender issue training thrown in there too. Officers with smart mouths and guns are not a good mix. Tone it down with the testosterone, the officer was only required to answer a question not to "F" it up. Here's an article to help them get over themselves.

Three of the five policemen whose 50-bullet barrage killed an unarmed man on his wedding day were indicted Friday in a case that heightened racial tensions and renewed allegations that the city's officers are too fast on the trigger.
Here another article to give to them or read to them during roll call.

I hope I am not asking too much, but Police Chief Rusty York, could you tell your bully patrols they are not members of the Klu Klux Klan organization. Sorta remind them, they are members of a law enforcement agency. And when a citizen asks a question, don't get informal with them, nor unprofessional or rude and insolent. Don't tell them to not worry about it. I am not street or their wives. Just answer the "GD" question.

Sincerely,

A law abiding citizen

P.S. I am working on my name calling. Time between 2:30 p.m.-2:45 p.m.
