   Can you imagine getting pulled over by the police for not using your turning signal, to then being pulled out of your car for not putting out a cigarette, and taken out of the cameras view only to be put through God knows what?

   Miss Sandra Bland had just relocated to Texas from Chicago for a new job she was going to start. She was pulled over and "arrested for allegedly failing to use her turn signal". Three days later she was found dead in her cell. Originally no charges was found against the officer, until recently. He has a case against him for perjury, a misdemeanor case in which he will be fined $4,000 and could face a year in jail. Sandra's mother has tried to subpoena all the files used in the investigation from the FBI, but the only result is that they wish to not comply.

   This article is worth reading, for it is important to know what is going on in our criminal justice system. How can we as citizens of the United States put our trust in some who are suppose to enforce and protect us, when they are not carrying out their duties correctly. Is this justice?
