I'm not trying to put down this incident, but it's just the chickens coming home to roost, as Malcolm X said. And the more they come home to roost, the greater the chances that it will ultimately force a change in behaviour abroad.

I only say that because at least one story reported that she did suffer from depression. If that's true the officer created a set of circumstances that led to her death. If it's not then that makes her death even more suspicious.<br /><br />And in the end it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how she spoke to the officer when she was pulled over. It doesn't matter that she refused to put out her cigarette.<br /><br />All the details of the story don't matter because Sandra Bland understood what her rights were and the officer didn't.
