Related: About this forum(Warning: rumors) I'm hearing some motion on Sandra Bland
That one still sits very, very badly with me.
Suicide in custody, by a woman of color, is essentially unheard of.
This whole thing has never passed the smell test for me.
Anyways: my friends in Texas say something may be happening soon here. I don't want to get hopes up, but I also think it's good for people to remember her name.

And whatever the conjecture re suicide, there was no possible excuse for arresting her in the first place.

stopping it could increase the risk of suicide.
But I agree with you, the whole thing is fishy.
