Ted Rall for December 28, 2015

Any alien with the technology to come here, wouldn’t.

It had to be a conspiracy because, you know, despondent people never commit suicide.

Well, we all saw the video. She was not in jail for a traffic violation, she was in jail for completely blowing the situation out of the water. And then she stayed in jail beyond the booking process because her family ignored her.

Regrettably, Sandra Bland did not use that wormhole to escape incarceration & this toxic planet.

Sad situation. People of color have a difficult time in Texas. a lot of bigots must live there.

denis1112I haven’t been abler to find statistics on females, but most black males have some sort of record – the Ku Klux Police make sure. They are sure to bring it up after every one of their terrorist attacks. And the honest majority of police get killed as a result. Either stop that Mafioso omerta tradition or assume you will be an innocent victim ultimately.

There is a significant portion of America, not just Texas, where that alien species would feel right at home and perfectly safe, if coming through that wormhole from the planet WASP.

The issue that got my attention was the number of people that died in custody. Seems excessive to me.“More than 4,200 people in Texas have died in custody in the past decade, and Waller County, where Bland died, has repeatedly been found non-compliant with state regulations that could have prevented her death”http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/29/sandra-bland-police-custody-deaths

Simple fact, if you are in police custody, they are responsible for your safety, including any health issues, and preventing any suicide attempts from succeeding. Texas, in more ways than one, is the number one place to die in jail, either treatment, or needle sticks.

The amount of THC in Bland’s system was about that left several days after using marijuana.http://www.drcarlhart.com/sandra-blands-toxicology-report-debunked/It’s not known for certain whether Bland was taking Keppra at the time of her arrest because the police failed to do their job of knowing the state of an inmate they were responsible for.http://abovethelaw.com/2015/07/the-questions-about-the-death-of-sandra-bland-that-still-need-to-be-asked/I’m glad most of us are not as willing to look the other way as you are.

“Weed makes some folks psychotic.” I’ve read some really inane comments but this one is one of the most ridiculous. “Reefer Madness” was fiction.
