This fucking country smh. This thread isn't surprising either.
It's the official feed for one of the more public facing factions yes.
They have, in the past, threatened to release crazy stuff and not delivered.
Of course, they have also delivered once or twice. (I think twice)

They're legit, I've been following them for 2 years now. The Official Anonymous account is @YourAnonNews. Anonymous have multiple Twitter accounts!
Sandra is black, so I can definitely believe it.
Didn't they say they were going to release a Iggy Azalea sex tape and then nothing happened?

Is that new information that she attempted suicide before? That seems pretty important. I'd never heard that before.
It came out yesterday or the day before.
I thought that was the officer
72 hours gives them enough time for most people to forget and move on. This is typical of Anon and is just for exposure.

If she killed herself, that's still gross incompetence on the part of the police. Police are supposed to try and prevent suicides in society at large and they can't even prevent it in their own home, right under their nose?

There are more deaths in jail from suicide than from homicide: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/s...cide-overdoses-accidents-combined-f8C11072563
People that really want to kill themselves can still find a way unless they are in a rubber room wearing a straitjacket.
I think the conspiracy theories are ridiculous to say the least but I think it's clear that the jail did not do their due diligence when it comes to how they kept her. She told them herself that she was vulnerable on the admittance slip! Suicide attempt as recently as this year, recent loss... not to mention that she was arrested (at least officially) largely because she was behaving erratically according to the officer.
She should have been put on suicide watch in a safe environment and they should have made a psych eval. I'm not sure if it qualifies as criminal negligence but they clearly failed in their duties here. There's no way to prevent suicide 100 % but there are ways to make it much, much less likely. Most suicides are impulsive. If you remove the tools you remove a lot of the impulses.
Studies have shown quite clearly that measures such as suicide railings on bridges don't just reduce the suicides committed at that location, they reduce the suicides rate overall for the entire area.

If Anon did have anything they would have a moral compulsion to release it as soon as possible to the relevant authorities (like the FBI) to assist the investigation. Seems dubious.
Yeah, I read it wrong
NervousXtian
Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Yeah, not sure why you'd do a 72hr notice if you have a video that shows a murder. That's morally against what they stand for, they'd post that.
You don't need them to admit if you have proof.

Anonymous has done this before, claiming they have proof and then coming up with nothing.
Pardon me if I want them to put up or shut up before I'm convinced.
Also I feel like the independent autopsy is going to give us a better picture of what happened than whatever bullshit anonymous is spewing this week. I know if I had relevant information to a homicide investigation I wouldn't be waiting 3 fucking days to deliver it.
I feel like me and many other people missed the mugshot stuff because we were so focused on the traffic stop. Like releasing the dashcam footage was meant to distract us from her actual death. And if there is proof the security camera footage has been messed with? Might as well be an admission of guilt at that point.

Anon is bullshitting more than likely. It literally makes no sense to hold off on releasing something that explosive for three days. Who breaks news on Sunday...
Hasn't it been confirmed that she talked to her family after her mugshot and fingerprints were taken?

Clearly the police were using some sort of voice imitation software to fake the calls.

Assuming the cops are at fault, it's more likely she suffered some kind of head trauma from these officers, died without care, and they hung her up.
I don't see her suicide being likely, but time will tell all.
Yeah, the Waller County Police Department has unlimited espionage resources at their disposal.

I think in the other thread about this I said something similar. Not suicide and not necessarily murder, but the untreated head injury suffered during the stop was something that slowly killed her.
KidGalactus

Yeah. I thought that's what everyone was discussing being covered up.
Do people think something else (besides possible suicide) killed her?
If so, what?
Wow at the people in this thread stating anything is obvious one way or another. It is not "obvious" that the cops killed her, and stating that shows your bias. I agree our justice system needs an overhaul and to be redone because there are legitimate examples of abuse that have gone on for quite some time, I've been a part of them myself and I am not black/African American. But there is nothing conclusive one way or another regarding. This issue.
Yes it's tragic, yes the cop should have and could have handled it differently. I don't see it as anything other than suicide currently , but if evidence comes out that shows otherwise I'm fine believing it as a possibility, but don't crucify the officers and police first. Let evidence come to light, and let's hope issues like this get their due diligence and get pursued instead of swept under the rug. She should have just complied from the start instead of throwing a tantrum, but not saying that excuses any of the officers actions. But I've seen these things happen many times before, it's best to just be cool and comply. Deal with it after the fact if they are acting unlawful because in the heat of the moment it's just not worth the possible outcomes.
Terrible tragedy concerning her regardless of how it happened. And like I said if it's proven the police DID have something to do with her death they need to pay dearly. But if not, then don't hang them yet.

This week Anonymous published a list outing all of the pro-GMO bloggers that are on the Monsanto payroll.
They stole this list from a fake story on a parody site, which had claimed to have leaked documents detailing who the shills are.
Anonymous is a joke. Don't even get me started about the fucking corporate-made Guy Fawkes' masks nor that Guy Fawkes wanted to restore the papacy to the throne.
Not sure what happened once Sandra was in jail, but the arrest doesn't surprise me at all, I went to school at Prairie View A&M and it's pretty much common knowledge that Waller county is racist as fuck, luckily my interaction with the police was minimal but I've got friends with horror stories about their run ins with Waller PD.

Was pretty conclusively brutalized during arrest.
Well worth being upset about on its own.
lmao
I heard about the original list weeks ago on the SGU but this is fucking hilarious.
Anonymous is such a shitshow.

I am worried, a lady died in custody. Police should know better and they are there to protect. That includes protecting folks who are pissed, drugged up, criminals, you and me, everybody no matter what.
Nothing but smoke with this. I am worried and am hoping a fully released video of the scene and custody will prove mysterious death. A very sad incident indeed.
The other version is a bad contemplation indeed.

Those pictures might as well say that jet fuel doesn't melt trash bags. It really hurts the serious nature of what has transpired here.
This is basically victim blaming, don't worry about the police being a bunch of unlawful thugs just go along with it in case they decide to fuck you over for using your basic rights.
I just read the transcript of the incident and felt like throwing up, fuck this cop http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sandra-bland-arrest-transcript_55b03a88e4b0a9b94853b1f1
I hope the truth eventually comes out. I dont have an opinion of what happened either way. I just hope the family gets the truth.
What i do believe is that her arrest was silly. If thats protocol there is something disfunctionally wrong with our policing. And second, is that police officer definitely lied.

Gotta treat cops like wild animals, they're all potentially deadly and wildly unpredictable.
She also did attempt suicide before. It was in her questionnaire.
The officer power tripped and she didnt help the situation when arrested.
It is so incredibly important that we get our facts right and take everything into account. There are way too many assumptions that are embedded by inherent bias in this thread. We all need to do better in having an honest conversation
Exact same thing happened to me when I used to smoke. Except the cop went ballistic and made me get out of the car and pick it up and extinguish it on my shoe and keep it in the car.
I did exactly what I was asked to do and now know not to fuck with mass cops at all.
EDIT: I was originally pulled over for a headlight that wasn't working.

I am not victim blaming in the slightest. I'm saying sometimes you compromise to do what will give you the best outcome in the moment. She shouldn't HAVE to respond that way, but it's just the fact of the situation. Would you rather react in a heated way and possibly stir up issues with it because the law enforcement doesn't respond appropriately either? I'm saying choosing the road of less strife or conflict is the better option, then pursue a course of action legally. Given the recent issues surrounding police brutality and abuse of power, it's not worth it to chance it, so just comply and address it with the courts. I have complied with officers every time I've been stopped, and always was able to get it worked out, even if I still got the shaft in the end.
They're not mugging or stealing from you so WHY must you react? To prove a point and possibly get shot? Deal with it in the safest most appropriate manner possible considering how volatile the police seem to be currently.
