Updated 3 mins ago

HEMPSTEAD, Texas (WLS) --
The Texas Department of Public Safety says it has found "violations" by police during the arrest of Sandra Bland, whose death in a Texas jail was ruled a suicide Thursday.

Officials say the officer involved has been assigned to "administrative duties" while the investigation continues.

"We have identified violations of the department's procedures regarding traffic stops and the department's courtesy policy," the department said in a statement.

The department as well as the District Attorney have also requested FBI forensic analysis of the arrest video.

This alone says her death was unjustified regardless. Time for some cops to go to prison.

4. "Violations", such as aggravated assault, murder, lying...

I thought assault and official oppression were crimes. Since when was aggravated assault a mere violation? When it's done by law enforcement?!
