Bland’s death has been ruled a suicide by hanging and the autopsy showed she had a lot of pot in her system. Video shows no one entered her cell before her death and there were no signs of violence apart from the suicide and handcuff marks on her.

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.”

Bland, who is black, was arrested July 10 in Waller County, Texas, after a contentious confrontation with state Trooper Brian Encinia. At one point in a dash camera video, Encinia is heard yelling “I will light you up,” when Bland refuses to exit her vehicle. Three days later, she was found dead in her jail cell of what a preliminary autopsy listed as a suicide. Still, Bland’s family has challenged the official finding and plans to have an expert perform a second autopsy.

“My heart breaks at seeing another young African American life lost too soon,” said Clinton. “From what I’ve seen, the circumstances of this case are incredibly disturbing. I hope and expect that there will be a full investigation into this situation. It is also a tragic reminder of the ongoing systemic issues of race and justice in America that we must address with urgency, and we have to do more than talk — we have to take action.”

O’Malley alluded to much the same in his comments, calling for an independent investigation.

“This is a horrible loss of life that demands a full, thorough and independent investigation of the traffic stop, the arrest, and Ms. Bland’s tragic death in custody,” he said.

So far, no Republican presidential hopefuls have spoken publicly about Bland’s death.
