Sandra Bland video: Presidential candidates call for new investigation of Texas woman's death
Some Democratic presidential candidates are calling for authorities to re-open an investigation into the death of Sandra Bland, a Texas woman who died while in custody after she was arrested during a traffic stop in 2015, after cell phone video recorded by Bland has surfaced.
Julián Castro, former San Antonio mayor, and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who is from El Paso, were the first to call for the investigation to re-open. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Cory Booker both also commented on the video.
“The recently released video Sandra Bland took of her own arrest provides the latest example of a police justification for the death of an unarmed black person being revealed as a flat out lie,” Castro tweeted.
Bland, an African-American woman, was found dead three days after being taken into police custody in 2015 and held at the Waller Country jail near Houston, Texas. Her death was ruled a suicide. She was 28.
