Inmates Next To Sandra Bland: 'Positive' Cause Of Death Was Suicide

I wasn't going to post anything on this but a couple of days ago before this came out our local news played a clip from the national news on this. They played a part of the Officers dash cam video, and of all things they only played two segments of the officer yelling at Sandra. Sounded really mean, probably to enhance a black life?? Well the part they failed to play was the beginning where he was really calm on a routine traffic stop. Someone on a talk show interview said had she NOT got argumentative  she probably would have drove off with a warning, but she started to get loud, and that usually is a game changer to a cop. I was pulled over for a burnt out tag light. Talked and moved along. So again it showed the disgusting attempt to stir shit up with the clips they played. Yes the officer is on leave, but again there was resistance to escalate this.

The two inmates next to Sandra Bland, the woman found dead in her Texas jail cell after being controversially arrested at a traffic stop, said they believe the cause of Bland’s death was suicide and that no guards were involved.

Bland was arrested on July 10 and found dead three days later, with the official cause of death being ruled suicide by hanging. Bland reportedly hung herself with a plastic garbage bag. Despite the reported cause of death, Bland’s family has maintained that she would have never taken her own life. Black Lives Matter activists subsequently suggested that authorities might have been involved in her death.

Inmate Alexandria Pyle told reporters that she’s certain police were not involved in Bland’s death.

“I don’t think the guards did anything,” Pyle said. "I mean it’s a tragedy either way, but I don’t think the guards did anything." She also said she believes that Bland killed herself, as the police report determined.

“I’m positive it was, but that’s just me,” she said.

A second inmate, who was near Bland around the time of her death, echoed Pyle’s belief.

“Do you think she committed suicide?” a reporter asked.

“I do, I do,” the inmate replied. “Nobody went in or out of her cell. And as far as the guards there in the jail, they were really nice. They just did their job.”
