1) Family Has Ordered An Independent Autopsy
2) Sandra Bland had already started arranging her bail when she died
3) Sandra was a nuanced person. Therefore in a video posted to social media, Bland appears to have made some statements about black people, including herself, suffering from depression and PTSD. She said white people go through these things too. She also makes statements in the same video that she is strong and anchored in God.
You cannot tell if a person is capable of suicide by looking at them. You can't. And Sandra seemed to clear on this herself, if you read between the lines. However, Sandra herself doesn't sound suicidal in the least. Besides, suicide is especially abhorrent to many religious people. More importantly, what's reportedly on the dash cam video sounds suspicious. We won't see this dash cam video for a minute or two yet, but it sounds like she was walked out of camera range on purpose.
Therefore, this should be investigated as a murder.
I am particularly interested in a possible head injury as Bland stated, on the cell phone video, that she couldn't hear as a result of the beating. In my mind, it's possible that the trash bag was tied around her neck after she was dead of the head injury in order to provide a plausible reason for her death that would NOT be the police officer's fault. The attempt to use Sandra's own philosophical words to paint her as suicidal has me thinking that her murderer might have done the same thing -- started thinking about how to use Sandra's own video to frame her for her own murder.

Before, the dashcam video was released there was a walk through of what's on the dash cam video by someone who has seen it. Not surprisingly, it's been reported that the police officer may have pulled a taser before walking Sandra Bland out of the range of the camera.
Remember as you watch the dash cam video in the link below, that Sandra Bland is dead over a signal problem when changing lanes.
"The lawyer representing Bland’s family said the stop for a routine traffic violation became confrontational when Bland was asked to put out her cigarette. The lawyer, Cannon Lambert, told NBC News that the state trooper “looked to force her to get out of the car by way of opening the door and started demanding that she do.” "
