You are conflating two different situations.
I tend to agree with Sandra Bland commiting suicide - that said police interaction with blacks in the US leaves much to be desired to put it mildly and automatically sets up a confrontation ( carding in Toronto for instance )
In the case of Michael Brown and others....it's excessive use of force by police on black people.
Case in point

In too many cases police cultures are rife with bigotry and abuse of power and flat out corruption and extortion.
Apologetics for police brutality is misguided as is your conflating Sandra Bland and Michael Brown .....that seriously puts you in a very poor light.
Had you stuck to commenting on Sandra Bland, you had a post worthy of consideeration.
Comparing it to Michael Brown.....?? Lost all cred....
