i think there are enough discrepancies here that you have to take everything with a grain of salt and any leak from the district attorney s office, eluding to an autopsy that now the same office is saying is invalid. so much doesn t add up. you have nothing but questions at this point. i want to look at the dash cam video once again at the first moment where the officer tells sandra bland that she s under arrest. get out of the car. don t touch me. i m not under arrest, you don t have the right you are under arrest. nicole, there she is in the car behind the wheel. he tells her she s under arrest. he says it twice actually when she is still in the car. on the video. in his police report, his written report, he says the arrest did not occur until well after she was out of the car
