Was Sandra Bland targeted because she was an outspoken advocate for Black Lives Matter? [View all]

There is no doubt that small towns across the country are known for bullshit stops by cops. People of color, especially black people, are the largest segment to be targeted.  In the South, people from the North are targeted.  If you are black, from the North, driving in a small southern town, the likelihood of your being pulled over for nothing or a small infraction, is great.

I lived in a small town in Kentucky for three years.  My uncle, who grew up there but had lived in Chicago for his adult life, moved back to this small town.  He was on the Cook County Sheriff's Department for years and joined the small town police department upon his return to the south.  In his first week back in Kentucky, on the force, he was asked to join the local KKK by fellow officers.  He refused. But know that there is still a huge portion of the population that is racist, bigoted and uniformed.  Even watching local news and reading local papers in some areas would leave you the impression that every single bad thing in the country is due to northerners, black people, liberals and the mafia. Can't ever forget those Italian Catholics or Jews.

Sandra Bland was a Black Lives Matter activist that had her own YouTube channel, Sandy Speaks. She was very vocal about the murders of black men and women, as well as other people of color, by racist cops. She was very outspoken about white people trying to corrupt the #BlackLivesMatter mantra with #AllLivesMatter. (On a personal note, that has to be the ugliest thing I have seen in years)

I have to wonder if Ms. Bland being pulled over, and eventually beaten by the trooper, was a setup. Please take note of the first exchange with the trooper.  I have been pulled over a few times in my life.  Not once was I asked, "what's wrong" when I was pulled over.  When he comes back to the car he almost immediately asks again and adds "you seem very irritated." We can't see what Ms. Bland may be doing but she sure didn't say anything. 

This is the second stop we see on the dashcam video within a couple of minutes.  It is also the second out of town person pulled over.

I am positive that the YouTube channel, Sandy Speaks, was discovered at some point.  I don't know if it was prior to her being stopped, during the stop or while she was incarcerated, but there is no doubt in my mind that she was in a cell by herself and died because of it.
