I live in the Netherlands (Europe). Before you get in to the police academy here, they make you go through a whole lot of psycological tests. If there is ANY HINT of you doing this for the abuse or thrill of power you get kicked out. In my opinion that's what's lacking in the US. Too many people in the police force that have been picked on as a kid and getting their "revenge"
Cops in the US take plenty of psych tests, they are just easy to get by. Answer questions with common sense and make sure you’re consistent because they ask the same question several different ways and check for inconsistency. Get past that and you’re good. Whether you’re in the Netherlands or US, no one is a mind reader.
At 5:40 when he says the cop sped up behind her, that’s 💯 % accurate because they do that very aggressive speed up behind you before they pull you over a lot. It immediately causes nervousness
Happened to me a few nights ago. I was taking a left at a light at exactly midnight and just barely missed the yellow. I saw flashing lights and look in me rearview mirror and see a cop fly into the insersection and speed up to ride my tail. Definitely made me nervous
You know what I've experienced lately? Them pulling up on my ass with no lights, I think they want to see if ppl are going to pull over so they can ask why. That never occurred to me till I came head to head at stop signs that were at a corner. The cop flew down the street towards me as I was pulling into an adjacent st. From a lot. I stopped thinking they were going somewhere but the cop just sat there. I've always had them hit their turn signal or wave me, something to let me know what they're doing. They just sat there, so I left & they followed me a couple blocks. I've had some real strange encounters since the Floyd incident, & I'm a white female.
Funny. I’m 63 and I’ve never been pulled over. Never had a speeding ticket, and I’ve never been in a wreck. Nor have I ever run out of gas or, had a flat tire. Now how did I drive all my life and not have any of this happen to me? Because I practice what we call in safety in the Oil&Gas Industry, “Situational-Awareness.” Oh, and Joe and his left wing talking robot is wrong here. And both are making tremendous amount of assumptions on this tape when they are talking about the policeman. They are assuming they know what the police officer is thinking. BIIIIIG MISTAKE.
Jereme Manzanares not because she wasnt submitting, because it is suspicious to immediately start yelling when you get pulled over, even if your in the right. I’m sure if she didn’t start it by yelling things would have been different.
@@bizzzzzzle Blaming the victim. Great. Look, he's a cop. She's not. His behavior is the one that dictates what occurs. His objective is supposed to be to de-escalate. Instead, he hunted her. And that broke her emotionally, to the point of death. It's disgusting to even suggest she got what she deserved. Even implicitly. You should be ashamed of that belief. May the Lord rest her soul.
You are right but you know that's everywhere you go ever state in the United States the cops want you to lick their boots they want you to be a bootlicker and they don't like it if you don't look the boots
I'm with you Joe. I watched the arrest video and it really looks like the cop just wanted her to obey him. It was a power trip for him. She was asserting her rights and he didn't handle it well.
Irene Vera hard to jump to murder from that. He clearly won the day. I just don’t see it, he got what he wanted why would he need to risk everything to kill her?
CHARLIE o I never said it mattered. Just that He got what he wanted(power trip) he wouldn’t go murder her is all I’m saying. He’s guilty of a lot but he didn’t do the act of murder. I agree he’s a shit human I was just saying there wasn’t a murder plot.
Deep respect for bringing up the horrific tragic story on Sandra Bland. Wow! Ashamed, I have to admit that even I wouldn't have had my pride under control. But then again, I would secretly rely on my colleagues to inject some commonsense to my boosted frustrated ego - in an ideal circumstance. RIP Sandra Bland
You should watch "How to Make Money Selling Drugs". There is a particular segment when they interview a former prosecutor, and he said he received a call from some cops that planted drugs on some politician's daughter...and they said "we planted drugs on the wrong person". The lawyer then brings up the obvious point, "How do you plant drugs on the right person?"
Its true. Im someone who was kinda broke growing up and have been lucky/hardworking enough to "come up", so to speak, and I rarely even get pulled over now because my car has changed, my apparel has changed...and I look like someone who will sue.
He was far from scared of her he just wanted to flex his authority how this guy can even say that with a straight face is beyond me. R.I.P. Sandra Bland 🙏🏽
@@awwhellnaw8214 its called being objective and trying to view things from all possible perspectives. Its part of his job. The guy spent 27 mins speaking beautifully on the tragedy of her life, and you tune it all out because of 1 line you disagree with? Ya that sums up this generation in a nutshell.
@@niccolom4556that’s the town I grew up in and it’s a town that operates around respect. If you watch the video he was about to let her go with a warning. Yes sir no sir and battle it out in the courtroom. Let them take you to jail unlawfully, keep your cool and sue the shit out them when you get out a few days later. Don’t argue back in forward with law enforcement. Sue them if you’re being done wrong.
there is an overtone of rich vs poor and police bulling but there is a race factor while I am compliant when a cop pulls me over but if you are raised in a country full of police footage of cops attacking with dogs at your not distant ancestry its as if a jew see's a swastika on a person telling them to be compliant.
When the cop asked her why she was agitated/upset, I feel like she explained without being belligerent or whatever. This is where the cop should have just said, "I'm sorry you feel that way, here's your ticket, hope you have a better afternoon." He had the power to keep the situation deescalated but he chose to provoke her! By asking her to put out her cigarette and her refusing, he started to power trip. That's all that was...in my humble opinion.
I can attest to that. I got my house broken into and found 5k worth of my stuff at a pawn shop. They wouldn't tell me who pawned it, even though I knew/showed them evidence who it was, but they never followed up. They were more interested in my incense burner and how it might be drug related..
I was pulled over shortly after this incident. I was visibly shaking. The officer asked me why I was so nervous. I told him I didn’t want to end up like Sandra Bland. He dropped his head, handed me my license and told me to be on my way. I cried all the way home. RIP QUEEN
That's not necessarily the way he put it. but in the mind of a small town cop in the middle of Texas that would cause him to become suspicious or at least maybe curious
@@ellisjackson3355 yeah.. i know and thats my point.. it comes off so casual with all the other descriptives that gave the vop a reason to want to look into a reason to pull her over.. that right therr is the problem .. being black in most people eyes raise a red flag. thats the unconscious bias people need to be aware of and curve that shit
@@ellisjackson3355 considering that African American women are the most highly educated ethnic group in the entire United States seeing a young black woman coming out of a school in any part of the country is normaln, especially considering if its a college. Usually have people come from all over the world to attend colleges even if small town and the rest of the town has a homogeneous makeup. The ethnic makeup of the college is likely to be the most diverse area even in a town where everyone else looks the same. Both the police officer and the writer of this book share the same bias. The writer is okay with pointing out the fact that police brutality and abuse of power is a problem. However, he draws the line at pointing out the apparent and implicit issue of police brutality towards black women. Even if she did roll through a stop sign the police officer told her that he pulled her over because of an illegal Lane change which was a lane change that he calls by running up behind her aggressively so that she could get out of his way. Then he became unnecessarily aggressive with her physically once she asked him questions about the stop. There is nothing unusual about a black woman coming out of the school. Black women are the most educated ethnic group in the United States. Even in a small town where everyone is wind or black or whatever color, because schools are institutions of education and most people come from all over to attend them the one place where you are most likely to find the largest amount of ethnic diversity it is at a college.
In more civilized countries IT IS. The notion that the world has envy for the way Americans live is ridiculous. In "the land of the free", people are property. In Norway, you can't become a cop without 2 years of psychology courses. I don't mean to attack people in the U.S by saying that, i am extremely sympathetic to your situation.
Officers used to take a training course called Handling Abnormal Persons. Taught cops how to deal with people that had mental issues and use deescalation.
@@christinemwihakimwangi2813 I was not saying Sandra Bland had mental issues. I was stating that Officers have been receiving training for years and should know how to de escalate
So true about what jail can do to an individual. My middle daughter was thrown in jail on the word of her abusive ex husband. It began her downward spiral into mental illness and despair. It eventually let to her death in July.

@@CrustyUgg Do you know how hard it is to commit suicide while in jail? To have 2 people commit suicide in a large prison is very unlikely. The fact that it's a small jail should make it even more so. You haven't presented anything but your own personal experience that proves nothing and you're the one just assuming shit.
I lived in a back water town like this in SC, the local jail killed a kid by hanging him with shoelaces, he went to jail in flip flops. Killing people in small town is easier than you think.
I moved over for an ambulance one night without using my blinker and a cop pulled me for it. PS. The whole reason we have these guns as Americans is to prevent tyranny and literally stop government abuses of power. The amendment was never about hunting and or privileges. It was genuinely written as a method to hinder and prevent citizens being abused. We have a right to defend ourselves no matter the threat. Owning a weapon isn't a privilege, it should be a necessity.
The stories behind Waco and Ruby Ridge were fundamentally confrontations about gun rights. You're absolutely right but if nobody has your back or will even justify your actions after the fact, then your only option is to protect yourself outside of their arbitrarily determined law.
@@danlowe which is why everybody and their mother resorts to character attacks now. Asking if you're crying or insinuating you are emotional because you didn't agree with them. The quickest way to deal with people is make them seem like a nut job cult and 95 percent of people who take their media at face value will believe it and bury you along with them. Emotional manipulation is the business model in the modern world, outrage, sex, and violence is what sells. So if you don't bleat like a sheep and follow the heard you are outcast and rid of. What tickles me though is the fact that most websites will outright say the freedom of speech doesnt apply here, yet also state in their guidelines that misinformation is a permanently bannable offense. Which can only mean that their agenda is the only thing they care about when they are actively censoring people who disagree with them. This is what happen when your corporations and government are allow to be above the law.
That's why we have God and when he rests we have KARMA😈 the fate of that ignorant, infant cop is garunteed far worse than Ms.Bland's. At least she left the Earth being more respected and honored than a cop 😇🙏🏽 peace be with her and her family xo
You guys are ridiculous, she wasn't arrested for a turn signal, she put herself in a position where she was stupid rude to the cop, the cop did handle it very poorly. She then refused his lawful order and fought with him. If I refuse a ticket, typically, they can tow my car. Just no one is dumb to do that. It was bad from both sides but she did it to herself just like if I started using racial slurs to a stranger, he has no legal right to hit me but you get what you get at some point.

Please don't make a straw man arguement out of anything that contradicts the victim narrative that is mentally imprisoning so many of our people.
@@ruhap9311 She didn't put herself there. HE DID! She explained the situation to him and he didn't like it. Big baby! Abuse of the position.

Or doing the right thing, which she did, no matter how off putting you feel her attitude was. What are you not getting? She is the victim of a screwball society.
A ticket is a cite and release arrest, if you are non-compliant in a ticket you are then effectively resisting arrest. No officer is complicit in someones suicide for merely arresting someone, suicide is an action taken by oneself.
Absolutely not. The officer struck me as overzealous and an asshole but this is a case of personal responsibility. The police cannot be expected to be mental health professionals
He charged her with felony assault on a police officer... After bystander footage proved that his claims were completely fabricated the cop was charged with perjury (he beat the case)
@@xdoxxy don't know if you paid attention but there was another gentleman who apparently committed "suicide" in that precinct. I dont think that's a coincidence. They were dirty
mike banga Well her history with attempted suicide along with the fact that; she was already upset about being arrested, her family wasn’t going to pay her bail, and the fact that the man she lived with wasn’t answering her calls so she figured he wasn’t going to either could’ve factored into this. It’s not that hard to believe she would take her own life. What is hard to believe is that they murdered her without an incentive.
@99 overall Stoner I dont know about all that with the bruising. I initially heard about it I guess a couple years ago when The Game was talking about it. Its just sad that she apparently was putting all her money in on moving to Texas and this happened. She seemed really smart and was beautiful.
You're giving him (the cop) a 1000 excuses. Pretending to be on Sandra's side but low key is for her commiting suicide. Too many people find themselves in the same predicament and mysteriously all commit suicide while in custody
No I think he’s just trynna break down in detail both sides because a lot of people really don’t know that she tried to commit suicide before not saying that justifies what happen but for sure she was murderd
Mr. Gladwell lost me when he said that planning a murder takes a level of sophistication that he didn't think that small town Texas police department possessed. That might be true for the average person, but when it comes to Law Enforcement, all you have to do is use the way evidence is supposed to be processed in the case to your advantage and control the narrative. Attempting suicide is a crime and simply running Sandra Bland's information would have shown up, that being said placing the victim in an area that's not readily visible, then through sheer numbers overpower said victim while someone strangled the victim to death. Then applied pressure to the small town Coroner to see it the way the police wrote it in the report and boom.... After all, how did all those black men escape from jail just to be lynched by the angry people outside of the jail with no witnesses?
What are the suicide rates? Is there actually "too many people who mysteriously commit suicide" or is that just your fantasy because you think that life is like a movie?
@Braden Harris no one really knows. Police Departments, Jails, Prisons, and Law. Enforcement throughout the United States are mandated by the Department of Justice to record those statistics, but they all refuse to. Only law enforcement can blatantly disregard the law with impunity.
Malcolm Gladwell demonstrates precisely how a person can be very smart yet naive. That he bought the cops shtick that he was terrified in his encounter with Sandra Bland is proof positive.
You just don't get what he's saying, no where in this whole clip did he justify a single thing he did. Malcolm basically calls everything the cop did bullshit but it doesn't make him complicit of somehow excusing his actions because the guy was afraid and acted in anger. The two can exist together and Malcolms point was that he was trained to overcome "dangerous" situations by demanding compliance from a person which he condemns also. In reality acting out in anger when youre afraid is extremely common and very indicative of a bully like nature which fits this cop perfectly. Intimidation is very common for a bully and his actions and police record indicate thays exactly what and who he was. He isn't buying anything, he's acknowledging that the dude was terrified, shouldn't be and shouldn't have been trained that way and most likely would never be a good cop because he was afraid in situations he didn't need to be.
@@gatordontplaynoshit3332 no, his cigarette theory is not bullshit. That's exactly why most smokers light up. His point about the cigarette is that the kid was to stupid to pick up on a common social cue because he wasn't trained to do so. Malcolm points are very nuanced but thays why he has good conversations with people in power and those that can influence policy. He would never accomplish anything failing against the system. If you think he'd reach the ears of a cop and change how they police in our communities by screaming and calling cops pigs and idiots and sub intelligent idiots like many other critics of the police forces then you don't understand his goals.
You're right, he's trying to get to the bottom of how he thinks and all situations, but he's just excluded the fact that he could possibly just be racist.
The worst time I've ever served was when I got picked up by police because my supervisor put a trespass on me for going in without a mask to check my work schedule. This was in 2020. Somehow, wrongful confinement is worse than reasonable confinement.
She wasn't in jail for 3 days for a failure to signal. Don't forget, they both went hands on. Let's state facts. She had priors and chalked up an assault on an officer, wrong, right or indifferent.
Neil Dawson If you do read/listen to his book, you get to know he has done years of research, following the case in each every way. His whole argument is about police training in America.
All in all though you could say if he didnt pull her. Over she would be alive and the way he acts makes me think very poorly of the department and shows they were not made to do there job or she wouldnt be dead
@N Mil so her not wanting to put out a cigarette is non compliant Yeah I guess fuck the constitution and the bill of rights and the fact that were a nation of laws What's funny is, I live in texas, I've been pulled over while smoking black andmild, cigars, etc and it was only an issue once and the cop simply asked me politely if I could put it out, since he wasnt being a dick about it i didnt mind Please get tf with that bootlicking ass ideaology Sincerely, Someone who has lived in the damn state 8 years and adding more to it And fyi, she was complying with him fuck boii
@N Mil he's not a cop but I was one for 10 years. You're trained for cross fire, a chick lighting a cig shouldn't scare you unless you're literally having a mental break down. I watched the video and that sir is acting like a heroin addict when he can't get a fix, completely crazy.
Everton C Thank you no fear at all he just abused her with his “authority’ by making unlawful requests and then turning n2 a maniac when she didn’t comply.
The fear question is fascinating. I think if the officer had fear it wasn't an emergent, immediate fear so much as a deep-seated existential fear, an insecurity about lack of control that runs deep in authoritarian personalities.
Or a sense of duty that requires a lemming in this case a cop to maintain a high sense of paranoia in order to provoke innocent people into unrelenting suspects in order to meet the demands instilled by their quota.
You make sense. So they should make a psychometric test that SCREENS OUT these type of candidates from the police academy. Make it a Nationwide requirement. Let's get rid of these bad apples.
We need to hold police accountable for their actions. The lack of transparency and us vs them mentality Joe highlighted has resulted in so much human suffering.
@@Savevade because there are always bad apples in every barrel but that doesn't mean every apple in the barrel is bad, that's why. The problem with our society today is that we allow "The News" to exacerbate and stir up the emotions of non-thinking, closed minded individuals by Highlighting a small number of "incidents" and talking about them like they are the norm for Law Enforcement when in all actuality, it is an extremely small Fringe group of cops that act that way. Then, closed minded individuals take to social media to unknowingly help the talking heads on "The News" spread false and misleading information that foments fear, lack of trust and misplaced rage towards ALL law enforcement officers. Thank God that the majority of us CAN think for ourselves and know that the REAL data shows that police who abuse their authority are in the minority. And this is coming from someone who has been set up and falsely accused BY dirty cops with REAL criminals who helped them , and has spent time in many jails and state prison because of it. I just didn't allow my own experiences to make me jaded towards all cops because I took the time to research this subject for myself so I know what the actual numbers show. Ya just gotta put your intellect over your emotions, then turn of the 📺 and 👨💻 and amazingly all of that anxiety and fear will begin to disappear and will slowly be replaced by LOGIC and RATIONAL THOUGHTS. 🙄🤦
Hah if you think the police is the only problem... Check Joe's podcast about Clemente Aguierre. The guy was sent do DEATH ROW for 14 YEARS for killing 2 women. The thing is - the daughter CONFESSED she killed her mother and grandmother, she had posts on social media how she will kill them, how she did it. Yet the absolute subhuman trash of a judge REFUSED the confessions and witnesses and wanted to kill the innocent guy, cause she is running for political post and didn't want a "looser" in her record.... The whole justice system is broken beyond belief, to the point I don't understand how you guys aren't gunning judges and prosecutors on the streets.....
@@0ne-Two no they are not, the lawsuits that are brought on due to their lack of self control and emotions come at the expense of taxpayers. It should come out of their pensions and they need an outside agency to handle their "internal investigations".
I worked at a college where they trained officers. They Teach Them To Jump To Conclusions!! They were literally telling them things like "A person smoking a brown paper cigarette might be smoking pcp because if you dip a regular cig in it they look coffee stained." They don't teach them to think, they teach them to react and to suppose you're dangerous or committing a crime.
As someone who has dealt with police both legit and otherwise, I can give you this piece of advice. When the cop comes walking up to your window make and hold eye contact. When you avoid eye contact it gives them cause to believe your hiding and or scared. Remember to take orders. Anything I just can be settled in court. Don't end up suicided.
Dre Smith and black ppl such as your self are hating on a whole race because a couple bad people, just like you hate all of police because of a couple shit ones that don’t deserve the badge. Grow up
@@Batmanindustries48 meanwhile cops keep on killing people, keep on fucking up their raids and raiding the wrong houses, plus all the other shit those cocksuckers do. there might be some excellent real cops, yes but cops are government. too many cops are allowed to act foul and nothing gets done about it.
Correct me if im wrong, but although it’s ruled a suicide they didn’t have the security footage right ? Like the guest says she had a history of suicide etc, thats a good way to show motive for suicide but for some reason they never showed the footage from the cameras so thats the major red flag… so yea definitely not a suicide until proven. (Im open to being corrected)
Biggest red flag is that she was in jail for three days. I feel like the author glazed over that and I'm glad Joe brought it up. He's talking about how quickly things escalated but what happened in those three days.
The security guard at the door of my local pub shakes everyone's hand going in and hugs those he knows well. In all my time going there, I have never seen any hassle. Big shout-out to Tony who works the door at Impala in Cork city Ireland.
Conner Gil He’s giving an example of a deescalation technique, and an observation about how effective it has been. Contrast that with this officers approach to the traffic stop.

@@urgfswallows civil forfeiture definitely exists. And long story short it means that if the police think you will commit a crime with something they can take your property. Then you'd have to go to court a prove you weren't going to use it to commit a crime. Say you're driving across the country with $3,000 and get pulled over. You're car's plates and drivers license is from another state and you have all that money. In some states they can assume you're going to buy drugs and keep your money.
My buddy got pulled over while I was with him once and I was smoking a cigarette so to be nice and not blow smoke in the cops face I threw out the cig. Long story short, they got mad they couldn't do anything about the weed I had because I had a medical Marijuana card so they gave me a 500 dollar littering ticket and 5 days community service for throwing the cigarette out the window lol
This story makes me completely paranoid as to the police and their motives. I grew up in small town Pennsylvania, literally Amish/Mennonite territory, and the one cop they had on patrol at any time would act like Barney Fife. No lie. They were trained to make you feel watched, if you ran a stop sign you would be afraid they were going to drag you out of the car and BANG, in the back of the head.
I was arrested under similar circumstances. I was being ticketed and lit a cigarette and the cop told me to put out the cigarette, I told him that I did not need to comply to that order, he claimed my smoking was a direct threat to him and threatened to arrest me, I refused again and he arrested me. It was a power trip and we both knew it, he was proving to me that he had power to throw me in jail for noncompliance. It is sad that this kind of power trip contributed to this poor woman's death.
@@danlowe how? He was power tripping by telling the officer he didn’t have to listen. He was wrong. The cop was power tripping too, but he still has every right to tell you to stop smoking while questioning you.
@@leeroyv5345 If you approach someone, privately or on business, and they're smoking a cigarette someplace where they're allowed to, wouldn't it be rude to ask them to put it out? Why would refusing to accommodate someone being rude be a power trip? Put another way, why would anything other than submission or deferral to another person's wishes be a power trip? In this case, he was asserting his basic right to not have to follow any unlawful order. We have laws because Americans have fundamentally different opinions about what is normal. Not just roofing regulations or seat belts, but drunk diving, street fighting, even driveby shooting is all justified according to your norms. All of our safety relies on the only norms anyone has to honor being those that are pre-established codes of conduct that we can read and know then follow consistently. Without that standard, anyone could exert their will according to whatever norms they've internalized. But I also may be a sociopath who's never going to internalize anything you expect me to and the only thing that keeps me from being lynched or murdered as an outcast is this concrete, consistent standard of law. Which I regard really only so long as everyone else does. I have no delusions that we don't still live in the jungle and navigate force as the basis of society. The force to blast the cop out the window, the force to go on a manhunt for a fugitive cop killer, etc etc. But also the force to detain someone without cause and make them lose faith in the whole system to the point their norm becomes ACAB, FTP or OGCIADC. I promise you that my argument s just as much about the safety and stability of that cop as it is the guy smoking. If we're just going to start inventing rules then you have to expect way crazier and more dangerous people will create rules and we'll only resolve our normative differences through force and bloodshed. Daniel Kemmis's Community, Politics & the Power of Place is well worth a read. These are the same debates that Jefferson and Madison had that established this system in the first place. We're not going to agree, so we defer to the majority. The majority says I can smoke in my car. If you think the majority's opinion has changed, then make it concrete in the law. Qualified immunity and executive privileges just breed unabombers and OKC bombings. What you call a power trip, I call the most basic expression of peaceful coexistence.
@@tizodd6 no, telling a suspect they can't smoke is not a whim, its police training 101. No hands in their pockets, no sudden moves, and no smoking, especially not any of that until backup arrives.

Jonnathan R. - Perez No I said a minimum of 3 months. That is 3 months of training after hired but most places you can't even apply unless you have a degree in a related field or 2 years of experience. Then 3 months training where you are daily shown videos of people getting killed while trying to do the job you are learning to do. I just love how everyone knows so much about a job they never did. This guy was a young cop who hadn't been doing it for long, but the stop itself is fine. "Blowing through a stop sign" was plenty of pretext to pull her over already. If she would have followed instructions, worst case scenario she would have left with a ticket. Did the cop handle it like a 20 year veteran? No, but he wasn't a 20 year veteran. You don't get experience in an academy or even in college. You just get training, and the training tells him that suspects can't smoke during the traffic stop.
He got his fragile ego hurt, she was an idiot that couldn’t follow simple instructions, and now blks think cops are lynching them for no reason and there is a epidemic of cops murdering them for no reason, give me a break already🙄

I feel like that is a serious problem.
She died after she was taken into custody...how do u not know she was killed by them? What more proof do you need? If you watch the video, then add up the facts, on top of the fact that she never left from being in their possession its common sense that she died on their watch. She didn't commit suicide. They killed her and it wasn't an inmate
@D DLedge If you are a fearful person you have no business being a public servant. I am a veteran and fear is not allowed. The law needs to respect itself and stop their lying! If you are a fearful person you need to get a desk job somewhere or work in a laundrymat where the only thing to be scared of is inanimate things like fluff and fold or a computer mouse! SNOWFLAKE!
Around here you’re automatically arrested if you have outstanding warrants/unpaid prior court fees/tickets in the thousands, etc. and then most of the time your car is impounded regardless of the situation at hand. Upon arrest you are in the holding cell till you appear before the judge who then determines your release. If this happened end of day and judge went home she’d be detained overnight, or on a Friday and judge is gone till Monday she’d be their guest for the weekend.
I saw him recently in a debate with Douglas Murray. According to Malcom here, we should trust the MSM, as they’ve never lied to us. He got his proverbial ass handed to him by Murray, of course. Man isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
This man is totally out of touch and toned, especially in small towns in Texas that is exactly where killings go on especially when you’re black there’s some of the most racist crimes being committed in the small towns of Texas everybody knows that and the fact that there’s redness needed that she committed suicide. It’s complete bullshit and I am pissed.
His supervisors should have noticed his tendency to pull people over for bullshit and questioned him about it. 9-10 months is a rookie. He should have been reviewed weekly.
Nah micheal you are denial I been to jail where is her side mugshot ? And if you pay attention it looks like the picture was taken with her laying on the floor not standing up look at other inmate photos completely different from hers
@@michaeldelyjah5696 Maybe if you read some shit about black people- HISTORY: A. You would not have been in jail B. Learned to be a better crook C. Learned critical thinking. Like why weren't there or why in these kinds of cases the cameras always seem to be ON THE FRITZ?!? D. Just cause your dumbass was in jail doesn't make you a criminal justice expert or a: "I'm gonna kill this lady because she disrespected my dumb cop ass" psycology expert.
@@michaeldelyjah5696 her failures in life are a result of white supremacy. Not her own. A lot of you white people join the police force, because nothing else panned out for you. That coupled with hatred for black people for whatever reason brings on situations like this. How about you police yourselves in this manner and let's see how long that lasts?
Malcolm Gladwell and me are from the same province in Canada - Ontario. Our police cars are black and white (OPP cars) and he's on here claiming to not understand why LA cop cars are painted black and white. Weird.
This video is absolutely fascinating. I’m hearing every excuse being offered for this officer’s actions that day. He improperly arrested this woman which subsequently led to her death. The officer was not the victim he was the perpetrator. Stop justifying wrongdoing because the wrong doer has a badge.
I live in small town Tennessee and I have been pulled over before and told not to light a cigarette even if I explicitly say/ask I’m reaching for a lighter/cigarette. I can understand why the police want to know what you’re doing with your hands but in all reality these cops need to better understand how to de-escalate a situation or at the very least not unnecessarily escalate a situation to the point of being physical or arresting a person over a bs technical issue. I cannot wrap my head around ppl caught on the carousel of court/fines are expected to ever get out.
I have followed this case back before......Another thing that saddens me is that, I think the family failed her too. I wished they came together to bail her out IMMEDIATELY knowing how much the police despised her. So sad. Serious hate crime imo.
You are totally right about her family! They were tired of her BS and wouldn’t even take her calls while she was locked up. They could have called a bail bondsman. And used a credit card and got her out. They refused to do so. But as soon as she killed herself they hoped on a plane. 🤷🏿♂️
@@jerylcarter330 1. You dont have any idea about my life so your opinion is irrelevant. 2. Poor people are a lot more likely NOT to abandon their family than the rich. Her parents, siblings ALL left her to die. If they gave the same care they gave to hiring lawyers to win the suit, they could have cared enough to gather money to get her out.
@@ptn242houmapd She didnt kill herself....she was unjustly arrested and unjustly murdered by the same cops that hated her. Her arrest was personal not legal.
that mugshot gives me chills every time i see it. i was 16 when Ms. Bland passed away and it shook me to my core. i had no doubt in my mind they took that photo after her death. something about it compared to the other pictures of her just seems so void of life. Rest in power Sandra.
The EXACT reason white people need to stop narrating the lives of black people. He's clearly color blind (blind to the experiences of black people). He only focuses on facts but says nothing about the racial implications of his actions towards her. He said the cop thought, "Oh she didn't use her turn signal." BAHAHAHAHA!
I agree she was arrested for no reason which ended in her death. But they didn’t kill her. She killed herself out of depression. She was a cutter. She had like 30 cuts on her arm. She’s been suicidal and had mental problems. While she was in jail she tried calling family members 16 times so they could bond her out. NOBODY answered her calls. She felt abandoned. Imagine being jailed for 3 days in a county you don’t even live in. She was literally just driving through that town. She’s not even from Texas. I’m from Texas and I can only imagine doing 3 days in jail in another state like Washington or California and NOBODY is answering my phone calls to help me. That would be depressing. A lot of family members choose not to answer jail calls because they know it will cost them money. Jails will only give you one free call. If no one answers you’re going to have to call back later on a collect call. Most people hang up as soon as the operator asks for your debit card information. Her family let her down if you ask me. I guarantee you her family wishes they would have excepted those calls
