Yes, it was that video. She was probably on anti depressants. There are many sides effects to those types drugs. 

While the whole situation still seems pretty messed up, here's a portion of the story that gets completely ignored: http://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/Suburban-Woman-Found-Dead-in-Jail-Had-Previous-Encounters-With-Police-316025661.html#ixzz3geb6z8s6
-She owes over $7k in traffic related fines dating all the way back to February 2014.
-She has had warrants against her in the past for unknown reasons.
-She has numerous fines related to driving without insurance.
-She received a DUI (which by itself doesn't make you a horrible person...I know people with them, but the track record speaks for itself)
All I'm getting at is...if I were to see this as a cop, quite frankly, I'd probably be a dick to the lady too. She is a low life that doesn't respect the law.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention. Even though it isn't why she was arrested, the lady deserved to be in jail until she decides to live up to her mistakes in life and pay her damned fines in a reasonable amount of time. I mean, seriously.

It's just WAY to predictable that the demonization of the victim would happen almost immediately.  None of this information has anything to do with what happened.  It just makes people feel better about it after the fact.

And for those saying she escalated things, get a f*%king clue.

Below is a transcript of the key part of the exchange.  Bland is completely calm and polite right up until the cop asks here to get out of the car, apparently (and unbelievably) because she asked why she had to put out her cigarrette.  When the officer says "Are you done?" like a condescending POS, it was obvious he was going to escalate the situation, which he did shortly afterwards.

(Encinia returns to his car for several minutes, then approaches Bland again.)

Encinia: OK, ma’am. (Pause.) You OK?

Bland: I’m waiting on you. This is your job. I’m waiting on you. When’re you going to let me go?

Encinia: I don’t know, you seem very really irritated.

Bland: I am. I really am. I feel like it’s crap what I’m getting a ticket for. I was getting out of your way. You were speeding up, tailing me, so I move over and you stop me. So yeah, I am a little irritated, but that doesn’t stop you from giving me a ticket, so.

Encinia: Are you done?

Bland: You asked me what was wrong, now I told you.

Encinia: OK.

Bland: So now I’m done, yeah.

Encinia: You mind putting out your cigarette, please? If you don’t mind?

Bland: I’m in my car, why do I have to put out my cigarette?

Encinia: Well you can step on out now.

Pretty much this. When a cop pulls you over, you gotta follow their orders otherwise they can press further charges on you.

I should point out I'm not a legal expert though but that's what I'm getting out of articles like this one: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-sandra-bland-arrest-experts-20150722-story.html#page=1

I have a question, hopefully you can answer it: when Sandra is asking Trooper Brian why she's being taken to jail or why she's being taken out of her car, is he obligated to answer? I've tried looking for an answer online unsuccessfully.

Don't pretend that Bland didn't play a role in escalating things, the officer wasn't alone.

From what I've gathered, there is no Federal Rule that requires the police to say why you are being arrested but there, on rare occasion, seems to be rules in certain areas

Ah, I see. Thank you. Just found this one as well. It's a blog though so not sure how correct it might be.

In the video, Sandra regularly questions Trooper Brian and I was wondering if he was obligated to answer. He first informs her she was under arrest at around 10:05. She starts to ask why she was under arrest. Apparently he didn't have to answer that.

Yeah, like someone said earlier, a citizen who "knows their rights" is a frightening thing, because often times, the notions they hold in their brain don't paint the clearest picture of reality.

Is that a new thing? I grew up in the Netherlands but haven't lived there since 2002. Growing up the police came to school to explain their jobs and basically befriend the new generation. Is that no longer done? I don't remember any disrespect from my generation, well except at soccer matches which seem to be an excuse for anarchy.

I do remember a case of someone dying in a police cell in Amsterdam which was a big issue. Once you incarcerate someone, you're responsible for their well being. Suicide or not, the police is still responsible for her death.

The police weren't soft either lol. I was at a demonstration in The Hague to do with education policies in 1993. Almost got hit by a ME van backing up at high speed.  Ah the good old days. Got to protect parliament from those dangerous 18 year olds.

That incident did lower respect for the police a lot.

Reading replies ...

Scary stuff. Goodbye America, it was nice knowing you.

This white man disrespects police officers all the time and he's alive to tell the story. If a black man tried to do this they would put 80 bullets in him and the cops would say they feared for their life. White people you have it good man and you don't even know how good you have it. LMAO
