How about this tweet on 8 April:

Sandra Bland

Sure call me a troll if you wish. My statements are meant to provoke thought about the situation at hand. Rise of the Warrior Cop is the thread title, I guess musings about the latest officer involved story leading to a death may not be the most appropriate place to put it but better than starting another thread.

My guess is that you don't personally know many black people. After most of the events like this, posts like that are all over social media by a variety of my black friends, some of whom are regular people, some are lazy POS's, and some of whom are U.S. Army senior NCO's and Officers. Here's my take on it: Ms. Bland is another person with a difficult life, and is making grandiose statements, not a sleeper cell black power/anti-government insurgent.
