Police Murdered Sandra Bland
I hold the
Police responsible for murdering Sandra Bland.
Regardless of whether or not they actually choked and killed her
themselves or because she supposedly hanged herself by suicide. Fact of the matter is, it is clear that they
had abused their authority and were bulling her, causing her an immense amount
of emotional distress that had led her to suicide. It’s like a bully picking on someone weak at
school so much to the point that the person ends up committing suicide, the
bully is at fault for this abusive treatment.
The Police
have to know where to draw the line, I mean come on, the person failed to
signal while making a lane change and now the person is dead because of
that! I can understand if the person
just finished robbing a bank and you want to treat the person aggressively and
then the person ends up committing suicide because of your aggressive
treatment. But this person simply did not
signal during a lane change!
Even if the
person is being disrespectful towards the Officer, the Officer has to know when
to let it go. The Officer should have
just let her off with a warning and be on his way, but no, it hurt his ego too
much to allow a black woman to disrespect him and refuse to listen to his
orders. All over failing to signal
during a lane change. I can understand,
if this person is a known felon, if this person has a violent history, then
yes, the Officer must make sure that his orders and directions are followed,
otherwise he will impose force to make sure his orders are followed. But this is a female that is not a felon,
that did not commit any serious crime, but as an Officer, he was just bullying
her, physically and mentally, to the point where emotionally she could not
handle it any longer and ended up committing suicide.
Imagine
sitting in jail for 3 days after being physically abused by the Police because
you failed to signal during a lane change!
She probably was so angry that she did not know who to hurt other than
herself. Killing herself was her way of
saying “Fuck the Police!” She took her
life to make a strong statement. Would
the Police treat her the same way if she was a White lady driving a Mercedes?
The Police
forcing her out of her car, throwing her on the ground, putting their knees
against her back and arresting her, and then abusing her verbally and
physically to the point of her committing suicide over a failure to signal
during a lane change, is like a Police Officer pulling a gun out at me ready to
shoot and kill me because I killed a mosquito!
I refuse to put my hands up upon demand and then they go ahead and shoot
me, because I killed a mosquito!
They wanted
to tase her because she refused to get out of the car, I mean, really, over a
failure to signal during a lane change! These Officers egos are just way too
big, they don’t know what the hell they are doing. Just like that other Officer that pulled his
gun out during the teenager pool party.
I mean really, you feel so threatened for your life from a bunch of
young teenagers that you feel the need to pull your gun out and then drag a
little teenage girl to the ground. I
guess when it comes to black people, the Police are just always on high alert,
ready to shoot, ready to kill. And then
we have those Officers that shot and killed a Hispanic man standing in front of
his bicycle with his friends. He dropped
his hands on a few occasions and that cost him his life. I mean really, you can’t find another way to
gain control of someone other than to kill him?
The Officers could have easily tased him or even pepper sprayed him or
even used a baton on him but no, they just shot and killed him, like his life
was nothing, like killing a dog that won’t stop barking. It’s very
disappointing to see this sort of Police corruption, it’s really sad.
