Oakland held two vigils/memorials for Sandra Bland today, Wednesday, July 22nd. The first, from Noon until 1:00 PM, is being held all week at that same time (Thursday and Friday), and happens at Oscar Grant Plaza at the interesection of 14th & Broadway.
The second was held at and around the Rockridge Bart beginning at 5:00 PM. Below are some tweetpics from that event.
Late today the Texas District Attorney in charge of the investigation into her death told the Bland family that the autopsy was “defective” and that authorities were demanding her body back to do it again. And no, I’m not making this up…
