AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Cellphone video Sandra Bland took during a confrontational 2015 traffic stop in Texas with a state trooper has surfaced publicly for the first time. The 39-second clip shows the black Chicago-area woman’s perspective as the white trooper draws a stun gun and orders her out of her car. The 28-year-old Bland was found hanging in her jail cell outside Houston three days after her arrest. Her death became a flashpoint in the debate over the treatment of black people by police.
