Sheriff to pastor protesting for Sandra Bland: ‘Go back to the church of Satan’
Source: Washington Post
An ordained pastor with the United Methodist Church has been keeping a daily vigil outside the Waller County Sheriff’s Office and County Jail, where Sandra Bland died under disputed circumstances last month. On Monday, Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith let pastor Hannah Bonner know how he feels about her vigil by telling the pastor that she should “go back to the church of Satan that you run.”
Bonner recorded the Monday-afternoon exchange, along with a later conversation with the sheriff.
“We were sitting out there, as we have been, fiddling around with a guitar,” Bonner told The Washington Post on Tuesday. As she and other protesters sat there, Bonner said, Smith came out of the jail; he was, she said, “clearly aggravated and looking for something to do.”
Eventually, as seen on Bonner’s video, the sheriff approached the pastor and asked: “You need a business card?”
