On July 10, a Texas department of safety officer pulled over Sandra Bland, a black woman, for allegedly failing to signal a lane change. By Monday, she was dead in a jail cell in an apparent suicide.

Now, the FBI is investigating her death, USA Today and other outlets reported.

Bland ended up in police custody after a routine traffic stop during which she was arrested on charges of assault on a public servant after she became “argumentative and uncooperative,” according to a DPS statement.

An alleged video of the end of the arrest, shown below, appears to show officers cuffing Bland while she lays on the ground yelling that they slammed her head into the ground.

One of the officers then tells the bystander filming, “You need to leave.”

The full story, however, remains unclear.

“I couldn’t tell if he slammed her down there or it was a maneuver she did trying to stop him from putting her in the car caused her to be put on the ground,” one woman, who had a clear view of the incident from a barber shop across the street, told USA Today.

Regardless, the department of public safety claims EMS was called to the scene — and that Bland refused a medical review.

In the morning a few days later, a Texas Ranger found Bland in her cell “not breathing from what appears to be self-inflicted asphyxiation,” the Waller County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, according to The Houston Chronicle. Officials later said Bland used a trash bag, an item normally found in cells, to hang herself.

She had been given breakfast just two hours earlier, according to The Chronicle.

In the throes of a heated national discussion about police brutality and race, Bland’s family is questioning the cause, and motivations, of her death.

“Based on the Sandy that I knew, [suicide] is unfathomable to me,” Bland’s sister said at a press conference in Chicago on Thursday, according to The Guardian. Another friend says he had spoken to Bland the day of her arrest and she seemed in “good spirits.”

“She was looking forward to posting bond Saturday and getting out. So you don’t go from that to hanging yourself,” he told USA Today.

The same friend also says Bland told her the officer who pulled her over “snatched her out of the window and slammed her on her face on the ground.”

Bland’s death is currently under investigation by the Texas Rangers, and the investigation recently expanded to include the FBI. Additionally, DPS is conducting an internal review of the traffic stop.

I guess you were there and witnessed her commit suicide Mike Pride

Of course not!

Mike Pride if this way u thing would be different Mother Fucker u now this Bitch way wrong so go fuck yourself u a bicth to.

Everybody that mistreated the lady just sign there on DEATH CERTIFICATE! These police officer I Can’t STAND them!!

The trooper agitated this situation. He needs to go back to training. I’m so sorry this lady died but commend her for challenging the LEO. It is not against the law to smoke a cigarette in your car and she did not have to put out her cigarette. By not following his request (which is not a lawful order), he was going to "yank" her out of her car and "light" her up. This trooper is out of control. This lady was not doing anything criminal.

Remember, just because a LEO is saying something to you, does not necessarily mean that it is the law. Case in point, when he told the spectator to leave, the spectator reminded the LEO that he was on public property and the LEO just left him alone because the spectator had every right to stand where he was standing and record. Please know and understand your rights.

HELL NO!! She had a great future ahead of her..

Here’s the problem I have we all know that the arrest was wrong. If she supposedly told them she tried to commit suicide before why she wasn’t on a brief suicide watch? And that also means she shouldn’t have been in the cell by herself. This is bullshit they covering up a whole lot because they know ppl are getting tiered of this mess we as black ppl have been through too much
And they have been killing us off since day 1 black lives do matter and I’m not just saying this I’m feeling his pain because that could be anybody I know personally and it hurts to see this.

We should be worried about other things like how the officer lied on the police report. She never should have been in jail, she did not assault him, at least not before her arrest.
