What are we dealing with here? And why should we trust any new vid posted by TX police state?

WHICH vid is the reliable one (if this is known)?

Apart from any potential criminal editing, the encounter I saw at zebonaut's OP is completely, totally inexcusable behavior by the cop--well before she's murdered in prison (more than likely). He escalates at every point. It is a type case of cop escalation! If she was active in Black Lives Matter--and I saw somewhere that she was--I'm beginning to think she was targeted, that this was no random traffic stop--the purpose being to get her in jail by whatever means, in order to murder her. That may be WHY he stops her on a pretext, then deliberately escalates to turn it into "resisting arrest." I know this kind of vicious traffic stop happens to blacks routinely, but are we witnessing something more here--something even worse?

I'm also wondering if the "ghost car" was a surveillance car--cops covertly following her, then alerting the arresting cop to pick her up on a pretext.

We need to find out more about Sandra Bland, to determine if they were targeting her, not just targeting her for being black, but also for being an activist. And, of course, was this a conspiracy--not just a bad cop escalating a traffic stop against a black driver, and not just another murder of a black prisoner, and not just a general cop conspiracy to target, abuse and murder blacks, but a specific conspiracy to kill THIS black woman.

That is what I am suspecting, if it's true that she was someone they knew as a BLM activist. This cop's behavior, in making this traffic stop at all, and everything that he then does, leads me to this suspicion.

By the way, do you hear him say, to someone off camera, "You need to leave!"? Ms. Bland and the cop are both off camera (another thing I wondered about--why he pushed her off camera), and I think it was just before the other cops arrived, or just as they were arriving. I thought I heard him say to someone, "You need to leave!" (as a threatening command). Could there have been a witness to his treatment of her off camera?
