Let’s talk about how Sandra Bland had just moved to her dream job, and was arrested and beaten for failing to use a turn signal, and how her family doesn’t believe she would kill herself. Let’s talk about how the police have edited footage from the dashcam, about how the police have changed their story from “she hung herself with a bedsheet” to “she hung herself with a trash bag.” Let’s talk about how they don’t put anything in cells that aren’t bolted down, let alone sheets OR a random trashbin. Let’s talk about how the trashcan is shown in evidence photos AFTER Sandra Bland’s murder has a *FRESH* liner after Sandra Bland supposedly hung herself with it. Let’s talk about how Sandra Bland’s mugshot looks like she’s laying on the floor of her cell, already dead. Let’s discuss how fucking wrong all of this is.
