Technology has changed the world for the better & some say for the worse. It all depends on whose asking & how it affects their lives but even with technological increases police officers worldwide have still found ways to eliminate “Our Lives”
The list goes on & on with Police Brutality & various police officers not following proper protocol when arresting or attempting to arrest/murder innocent victims. The latest case of Sandra Bland raises eyebrows of Police Brutality leading to an alleged Suicide.
Sandra Bland was arrested on July 10, 2015 for failure to signal when switching lanes & resisting arrest. The Video footage was just released which we have below showing Sandra’s arrest in a routine traffic stop:

Three days after her arrest she was found dead in her jail cell in Prairie View, Texas awaiting her bond trial. This video footage shows when she found in her jail cell.

USA today displays this quote: “The jailer looked through the window and observed Miss Bland hanging from her privacy partition in her cell,” said Capt. Brian Cantrell of the Waller County Sheriff’s Office. “I’d also like to reiterate that she was found in a semi-standing position with ligatures (bindings) surrounding her neck.!”
Her death was ruled as a suicide but family & friends of the victim found that hard to believe because Bland had just taken a new career opportunity at her college Alma Mater Prairie View A&M University and was very excited to begin her new life in Texas.
This case is still under investigation but how many cases will end like this? When will “OUR LIVES” really matter in America?
DcTellAllMedia would like to give our Condolences to the Bland Family & hope that Justice will be served in this case.
