I have never been the type to ask things from strangers. But this is my baby sister and she is missing. I can’t bear the thought of never seeing her or hearing her voice again. If you can share, boost or whatever, please do. I want to see my sister again.
Sandra Bland died in police custody this past Monday. Visiting Texas from Chicago to interview for a college job at her alma mater of Prairie View A&M, she was pulled over for a routine traffic violation (failure to use her turn signal). Everything from that point forward screams racism and foul play, including her death in the Waller County jail Monday.
The Waller County Sheriff’s Office told the Chicago Tribune that Bland was arrested on Friday and charged with “assault on a public servant.”
A video capturing the incident shows differently!!
It shows several police officers standing over Bland while she is on the ground, arguing with them about why they’re being so rough.
At one point, she can be heard saying, “You just slammed my head into the ground. Do you not even care about that?” She also thanks the man recording the incident for filming as she is led to a police cruiser.
Her friend, Malcolm Jackson, told ABC 7,
“After he (an officer) pulled her out of the car, forced her and tossed her to the ground, knee to the neck, and arrested her.”
What we see from a bystander video is her telling the officers she is in pain and cannot hear after her head was slammed on the ground by the male arresting officer.
We have now learned that Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith, who made the first public comments about Bland’s in-custody death, was suspended for documented cases of racism when he was chief of police in Hempstead, Texas, in 2007. After serving his suspension, more complaints of racism came in, and Smith was actually fired as chief of police in Hempstead
Family and Friends close to Sandra, including most of twitter, is at an uproar, believing there was no way she committed suicide, and saying that foul play was at work.
“I do suspect foul play,” another friend, Cheryl Nanton, told the news station. “I believe that we are all 100 percent in belief that she did not do harm to herself.”

The missing teenagers range in age from 16 to 18 and include four males and two females, police said
Police identified the missing teenagers on Twitter as:
Richard Irakoze, 18, a black male with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-11, 140 pounds;

Audrey Mwamikazi, 17, a black female with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-3, 130 pounds.
We’re living in such a scary world and we, as a community, can’t let this go unnoticed. This racism and hatred black people experience every day in America might have become the reason these teens are missing right now. Share this to find them as soon as possible, because you can save a life. If you have any information about them- call the police. Don’t stay aside.
