Sanders Statement on Grand Jury Decision in Sandra Bland Case
DECEMBER 22ND, 2015
SIOUX CITY, Iowa U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement Monday after a grand jury in Texas decided no felony was committed by the sheriffs office or jailers in the death of Sandra Bland:
Sandra Bland should not have died while in police custody. Theres no doubt in my mind that she, like too many African-Americans who die in police custody, would be alive today if she were a white woman. My thoughts are with her family and her loved ones tonight. We need to reform a very broken criminal justice system.
