Theoutlet unearthed the video in partnership with the nonprofit InvestigativeNetwork
The family of Sandra Bland, the 28-year-old woman found hanged in a Texas jail cell three days after she was arrested during a traffic stop, is calling for her case to be reopened following the release of previously undisclosed cellphone video.
“Get out of the car!” the officer shouts at Bland as he points a Taser toward her. “I will light you up. Get out. Now.” In her video, Bland can be heard asking the trooper why she’s being arrested for a traffic violation, and telling him she has a right to record the exchange after he orders her to put her phone down.
Bland’s arrest and subsequent death sparked protests nationwide over police violence and the systemic oppression of communities of color. “Say Her Name,” a reference to Bland, became a trademark chant of Black Lives Matter activists. Shawn McDonald, a Houston lawyer and one of five special prosecutors assigned to the grand jury investigation into Bland’s case, defended his team’s performance.
