Dashcam Footage of Sandra Bland's Traffic Stop Released

UPDATE: This is the new version of the video distributed by the Texas Department of Public Safety. While it does not seem to have the same irregularities – skips or loops in the footage – the audio in relation to the video has changed. See here for more analysis.

The Texas Department of Public Safety released dashcam footage of the traffic stop and arrest of Sandra Bland. Bland was found dead three days after her arrest, and officials have said she committed suicide. Trooper Brian Encinia, who conducted the traffic stop, has been placed on administrative duty as the case is being reviewed.

An affidavit signed by the trooper states that Bland got combative when he asked her to get out of the vehicle, according to local media. State officials said the officer did not follow proper protocol.

Bland’s family has said that she was murdered and did not commit suicide, which has prompted the investigation by state and local officials. Credit: YouTube/Texas Department of Public Safety
