Texas releases video of arrest of black woman who died in jail

AFP, WASHINGTON: Texan authorities released footage Tuesday showing a white police officer, during a routine traffic stop, argue with and arrest an unarmed black woman who later died in jail.
The death of 28-year-old Sandra Bland is being investigated as possible suspicious, after authorities initially called her death on July 13 in Waller County jail an apparent suicide.  
She is the latest in a number of African Americans to die in confrontations with law enforcement, stretching back to the August 2014 death of black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
