Some people can’t accept the truth even when it’s right in front of their noses. The Sandra Bland suicide debate continues to rage on social media.
Bland is the 28-year-old black woman who committed suicide in a Texas jail cell 3 days after she was arrested for allegedly assaulting a state trooper.
On Tuesday, Lemon, CNN contributor Sunny Hostin and anchor Wolf Blitzer discussed new video released by the Waller County Sheriff’s office that shows Bland arriving safely at the jail.
Bland was very much alive when she was booked and her mugshot was taken.
The new footage debunked the conspiracy theory that Bland was dead before she arrived at the jail.
“The official cause of her death is suicide,” said Lemon. “There’s nothing to indicate otherwise.”
Black Twitter exploded with rage.
