(Raw Uncut) my ass. There's a clear edit half an hour into the video.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'

Either way, same conclusion as TYT can be made from the 'uncut video'. Guy is a megalomaniac and an asshole.

Good thing this edit occurred long after the incident was over.

Well not really considering there has to be a reason as to why they would tamper with evidence. Either way the incident is clear cut, there's no defence for the officer here.

Sandra Bland wasn't exactly polite either. She should have followed her own advice and contested her stop in court rather than arguing with police.



The legality of the whole arrest issue seems extremely wishy-washy, so I doubt that any action will be taken against the officer on that front. As for the individuals, they were both acting irrationally but this story does not really warrant this degree of attention. Unless something can be found to conclude that the death was not a suicide, this is just much ado about nothing...

She wasn't polite but she never shouted or hurled abuse at him. He's the one threatening violenve, he's one saying he's going to drag her out, light her up etc. She asked MULTIPLE times what she was being arrested for and he never gave a straight answer.

She did not have to get out of her car, you don't arrest someone for switching lanes (to let him pass through) without indicating. You ask for licence and registration. Then you give them a ticket. You don't drag them out of the car threaten to taze them and slam them onto the ground.

Again, no defence for the officer.

Idiocy, arrogance and trigger-happiness of US police never cease to amaze me.

I'll check out the video. But you can't arrest someone for not being polite.
It's basically the point TYT were making. Yes, you should bow your head and do everything they say, unfortunitely. Only because there are these crazy cops who will arrest you, beat you up, or kill you for no good reason. But that's not how it's supposed to be. You should be allowed to smoke in your car without being pulled out for refusing.

I almost feel like cars need to come with a camera that films and streams the video for your protection, and that cops have to explain why you are being arreste, to prevent things from going as far as they did here.

You can arrest them for an improper lane change though. In addition, at the beginning of the video, you can see Sandra run a stop sign (1:14, stop sign can be spotted at around 1:28) which seems to have prompted the pursuit to begin with. TYT won't point that out though. You want the truth, watch the raw video, not what TYT chooses to show you.

The officer broke protocol so the department will exercise some degree of disciplinary action, I imagine.
