#JusticeForSandraBland and #SayHerName are just two out of many hashtags that have been going around in honor of Sandra Bland, a woman found dead under police custody. Police say that Bland committed suicide. The reasoning is very unclear for there have been so many speculations as to what has really happened. U.S. District Judge David Hittner has officially set a 2017 trial date for a wrongful death lawsuit.
The lawsuit has been filed by Bland’s family. The family’s attorney says that they have not yet examined the plastic bag that Bland allegedly committed suicide with for fingerprints. This story has been a huge ordeal. Bland was arrested during a traffic stop. Officers used excessive force upon detaining her. The dash cam in the police car showed trooper Brian Encinia slamming Bland down on her head. Three days after Bland was arrested she was found dead. Every since then people have been doing whatever they can possibly do to get the proper justice for this case.
