In Texas a black woman by the name of Sandra Bland was pulled over by a white police officer for failure to use her turn signal. There is a police car cam video that caught "the whole thing". She was asked to get out of the vehicle. She said why because she was not under arrest. She was then told to "stand out or I will remove you". She refused. The police officer then said "I will yank you outta here" as he attempted to pull her out of the car saying "you are under arrest". He then said "I am gonna drag you outta here". He then said referring to his stun gun "I will light you up". After the struggle Sandra finally stepped out of the vehicle, the officer using excessive force put her to the ground, put his knees in her back and hand cuffed her. If you watch the complete 52 minute video you can see a man disappear off screen only to magically reappear on screen in a totally different place. You can also see a white car driving by the scene and then it magically disappears. The video was obviously altered because the audio feed was un-interrupted. 3 days later Sandra died in her jail cell. The police are calling it a suicide, but a murder investigation is underway. The sheriff in this case was fired in 2008 for racism and police brutality.
