I would like for the media to really dig into what cops did what, when.

Who filled out her intake form, and when? Are we sure? Who was in the jail the morning she died? Is the coroner buddies with someone who was at the jail that morning? Who all has access to the dashcam and jail videos?

If these are all different people who don't know each other well, maybe there's nothing to this aside from a crazy unjust arrest and a sad suicide. But if everyone in the police force decided they hated Sandra Bland, and the sheriff in charge has a worrying history, I worry that we're seeing an IRL example of the Stanford prison experiment.
