VOL indicated weed as if it was a factor in her death.

hahaha come on, really?

Looking at the video posted by Texas, the stop itself seemed BS.

Honest question: how long does it take for pot to get out of your system? I mean, if she had THC on her, is it possible she was driving high?

It depends if you are a casual smoker or heavy smoker of pot, and you body size. Tends to be heavy smoker THC stays in system a lot longer.

I doubt she was high when arrested, but who knows.

She has a long history of police interaction/arrest and a history of suicide.

I think they finally buried her yesterday, and I am sure this whole thing will blow away like a fart in the wind

Amazing how this was blown up in the media due to the color of her skin.........

Guess that sums it all up doesn't it. It's not about the fact that she shouldn't have been arrested in the first place. Or is it about how did she get the bag ties in the first place to kill herself? A mentally disturbed person should have been on suicide watch.

You have more love and care for a mentally disturbed person that goes on a killing spree than for a mentally ill woman who did not harm or kill anyone, she was just being harassed by an overly stupid police officer.

Folks get arrested when they start telling an officer of the law they will not obey an officers request. . She had been arrested over 10 times in the past. She had a history of thumbing her nose at laws everyone else have to obey.... Black privilege you know.

And what privilege is that? Being arrested 10 times? Or dying in a cell block? Let's compare:

Failure to signal and not put out a cigarette gets you yanked out of a car and arrested. Found dead two days later due to suicide. Doesn't look too privileged to me.

Killing 9 people in a mass shooting(I believe that's breaking more laws) gets you arrested, a vest to ensure nothing happens to you, and a meal at Burger King. He's still alive in a cell being watched 24/7 so he DOESN'T kill himself.

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong..

Cop was going to give her a warning .Then she assaulted him .Look at her arrest history . She walked around in life thinking laws were for the other people to follow.

You do realize she killed herself. Maybe you can turn that into racism somehow

Mike Brown tried to kill a cop and he got a memorial plaque and presidential team visiting his funeral

All she did was assault a cop. You have to try and kill one before the President and black community will show you the love

Roof murdered 9 people. I'm pretty sure that's about as lawless as you can get and the cops treated him with more concern than a woman who didn't put out a cigarette.

DIdn't turn it into racism. Just pointed out the flaws in LIb's logic about black privilege. Please try and keep up.

Said cop tried to yank her out of a car. But I guess we're just going to ignore that fact.

Obama showed up in Sandy Hook as well, or did you forget about that?

If Roof attacked any arresting officer he would not be alive today. A perfect example of a person obeying an officers orders and being alive to live another day

No, he just strolled into a black church and murdered 9 innocent people. Was that not breaking the law? Does that not make him a danger to society? And yet, when captured, he was treated to Burger King. I wonder if he got a toy with his meal. Maybe they let him switch out a drink for a shake.

I know you have zero empathy for anything darker than a suntan but this is a stretch, even for you.

Officers responding to what was believed to be the scene of the shooting entered a cabin and smelled gunpowder. A tactical team was immediately deployed into the nearby woods.

D'Amico said the team encountered Matt there and "told him to put up his hands and he was shot when he didn't comply."

This is what happens when you don't comply when you are a white person.

Actually he was killed because he shot at the police. That's why he was killed.

So if not complying gets you killed, then why was this young man kicked in the face for complying with the police?
