A leaner "Sandra Bland Act" enters the home stretch of the Texas legislature far from the sweeping package of police accountability and anti-racial profiling measures originally filed in March. In the face of opposition from law enforcement groups and Republicans, the bill was drastically slimmed down and now mostly focuses on better jail training and mental health care access.
"What the bill does in its current state renders Sandy invisible," said Sharon Cooper, Bland's older sister on Friday night. "It's frustrating and gut-wrenching."
