So a lady who happens to be African American is pulled over on an open highway because she didn’t signal a lane change in Texas. It is against the law to do so. Well, I think it was a cheap shot, but did the officer just write her a citation and go on his way? No, he demanded that she put out a cigarette (Is smoking in a car against the law?) and yelled at her a number of times to get out of the car. She eventually did this when the officer threatened to “Light you up.” with his taser. She ends up being jailed for three days (!) when she dies from asphyxiation. The claim is that she hung herself with a plastic bag in the jail cell (Why they should have left such a thing in a jail cell, I have no idea). Or maybe they hung her up or something. No matter, the problem is SHE WAS STOPPED FOR AN ILLEGAL LANE CHANGE (NO SIGNAL) ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY, SERVED THREE DAYS IN JAIL, AND ENDS UP DEAD. Dead over an illegal lane change? Unbelievable! May the saints preserve us.
These sorts of things are happening to African Americans all over the U.S. it seems. I'm just counting police here and states involved are Missouri, New York, Ohio, and Texas. Have I missed something? Remember the guy who choked to death from police activity for selling single cigarettes? The boy with the pellet gun who was frantically killed by police?
