BREAKING: Sandra Bland Dashcam Video Released

The Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) released the dashcam video of the traffic stop involving Sandra Bluff that resulted in her going to jail, and three days later being found dead in her jail cell.

Bland was pulled over July 10 by DPS Trooper Brian Encinia for failure to signal a turn. Encinia initially told Bland that she was only receiving a warning. Not long after Encinia claims Bland was arrested after she became argumentative and began resisting his orders.

After Encinia asked Ms Bland if something was wrong because she looked frustrated, she replied with, “Yes I was trying to get over to get out of your way, but that’s not going to keep you from giving me a ticket.”

Escalation between the two grew more tense as Bland began to debate her point with Trooper Encinia, and he then asked her to step out of the car. At one point Trooper Encinia said, “If you do not get out of the car I will remove you from the car.”

Bland said, “I am not under arrest” at which point Trooper Encinia replied with, “Yes you are under arrest.”

Encinia said at one point to Bland “Get out of the car! I will light you up!” while holding a taser in his hand.

Sandra Bland then eventually got out of the car saying, “Are you F’ing serious? For a failure to signal?”

After Sandra Bland gets out of the car you cannot see them for a brief bit, but you can still continue to hear their conversation. Bland is told by Encinia to stop moving, in which Bland replies, “You are going to break my wrists” and continues to call Encinia “a scared pussy.” She also tells him she cannot wait to see him in court, and asks him if he feels good about himself for retaining a female.

There is still a lot of investigating to be done in this case which is taking place as we speak, but from the video we’d like to hear your opinion on if you think DPS Trooper Brian Encinia was out of line in his detaining of Sandra Bland or if you think he was right. Also do you think Sandra Bland was out of line, or do you feel she was justified in her actions with Officer Encinia. Please let us know what you think in the poll below.
