Sandra Bland Asked 14 (Fourteen) Times Why She Was Being Arrested Without Answer

Sandra Bland, alive, before being arrested in Texas

On July 10, Sandra Bland was confronted, assaulted, and arrested by police in Waller County, Texas, near the campus of Prairie View A&M University. On Tuesday evening, footage (seen below) of this encounter with Officer Brian Encinia was released. In it, many conclusions can be drawn and determinations can be made, but none are clearer than the indisputable fact that Sandra Bland asked the officer FOURTEEN times why she was being arrested without once receiving a respectable answer of any kind.

Fourteen.

She asked him from inside of her car, outside of her car, while he had his hands on her, while he was cuffing her, and he gave her no credible answer whatsoever.

In what world is any person going to calmly and willfully submit to an arrest without being given any true answer on what they are being charged with? This entire arrest, from start to finish, was completely despicable.

Killer Cops: Slow Motion Serial Killing By White People

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2015/04/killer-cops-slow-motion-serial-killing.html

Alan: Blacks are arrested - and prosecuted - at least twice as often as whites for the same "contraband" crimes white people at the same rate. 

If white people were incarcerated as often as blacks for the crimes both commit with the same regularity, and if blacks were incarcerated for the crimes they commit as often as whites are for those same crimes, the "black prison time" figure of 32% (above) would be cut in half and the "white prison time" figure of 6% would double.

The situation is further complicated because it is much harder for released blacks to find work than it is for released whites, making persistent black unemployment a source of recidivism.

Are there any circumstances under which you would hire Jamal ahead of James?
