Unlawful Officers

KVUE reporter, Tina Shively, publishes an article about the state's commitment to research deeper into Sandra Bland's case and see how they can prevent cases like this to happen in the future. If you are not familiar with the case I will quickly get you updated. On the day of July 10, a State Trooper made a routine stop for a traffic violation. What was supposed to be routine escalated and became very violent for Ms. Bland when she refused to step out of the car. Later in the day, in the jail cell, Sandra Bland was found dead with question as to how it happened. The questions asked were if her death was caused by suicidal inside the cell or was her death existing before she actually arrived in jail. The verdict came out to be suicidal but her family disagreed. They requested an autopsy but those results have not gone public yet. Things like this should not happen in a government regulated facilities. Regulated facilities such as jail houses should be watched carefully and diligently. Bland was found hanging by a trash bag and nobody heard? Now whether you are arrested for murder or a simple ticket that went wrong, the safety of the inmates are still important. I believe that no matter what the reason for your arrest is, the liability and safety falls on the officers. We need to alter the procedures and standards in order to prevent an incident like this from happening again.
