On Thursday, Kim Kardashian took to Twitter where she made the unusual choice to use her position as a celebrity to shine a light on the troubling, unclear circumstances surrounding the death of Sandra Bland, (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/07/20/sandra-bland-jail-death_n_7837516.html) a black woman whom authorities claim hanged herself in her jail cell on July 13. The 28-year-old had been arrested three days prior to her death for allegedly assaulting a state trooper during a traffic stop (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/sandra-bland-texas-jail_55a7c7d0e4b0896514d06f41).
Many people want answers as to how the incident, which has made national news, occurred. Her friends and family are eager to know (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/sandra-bland-texas-jail_55a7c7d0e4b0896514d06f41) how a traffic violation could lead to her death. Many have taken to social media to express their feelings using hashtags such as #JusticeForSandy (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/07/20/sandra-bland-jail-death_n_7837516.html).
Kardashian, too, it turns out wants answers. She tweeted to her 33.8 million followers:
