A trio of Democrats vying for the party's 2016 presidential nomination have waded into the racially charged outcry over the arrest of Sandra Bland, who was later found dead in a Texas jail cell.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley each assailed the behavior of the Texas law enforcement agents involved in Bland's arrest.

“No one should be yanked from her car, thrown to the ground, assaulted and arrested for a minor traffic stop. The result is that, three days later, she is dead in her jail cell,” Sanders said in a statement. “This video highlights once again why we need real police reform.”
