In the months leading up to her death, Bland posted several videos about racial tensions and her personal struggle on Facebook. While her death was ruled a suicide, the entire nature of the situation-the seemingly excessive force used during the stop, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her untimely death-raised suspicions and criticisms.
