Authorities on Tuesday released dashcam video of the July 10 traffic stop, revealing new details about a case that has captured national attention.
An attorney for her family, Cannon Lambert, told CNN that the officer asked Bland to get out of her car after she refused to put out her cigarette. The officer opened the driver's side door and asked Bland to get out, he said.
The video shows the Texas trooper threaten Bland with a Taser and say: "I will light you up!"
Sharon Cooper, one of Bland's sisters, told CNN that preliminary autopsy results showed her sibling suffered "deep tissue bruising to her back" consistent with someone pushing a knee into her back.
Bland was taking a new job at Prairie View A&M University in Texas, more than 1,000 miles from her home in the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois.
She had graduated from the historically black college in 2009 and was returning there as a student ambassador, according to family members.
Bland was found dead in a Waller County jail cell on July 13 after she hanged herself with a plastic trash bag, authorities said.
There were no cameras inside Bland's cell, but cameras in the hallway outside showed no one entering or leaving before her body was discovered, Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis said.

Sandra Bland was a woman who was found hanged in a jail cell in Waller County, Texas, on July 13, 2015. Her death was classified as a suicide by the county coroner, and was followed by protests against her arrest, disputing the cause of death and alleging racial violence against her. Bland was 28 years old when she died. Bland had been pulled over for a minor traffic violation on July 10 by state trooper Brian Encinia. He arrested her following an escalating conflict, during which he alleged that she had assaulted him and which was recorded by his dashcam and by a bystander's cell phone. The officer was placed on administrative duty for failing to follow proper traffic stop procedures, as the release of the dashcam video supports the claim that normal procedures were not followed by the arresting officer.
On July 16 Texas authorities and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Houston Division announced that they had begun a joint investigation into Bland's death. The Waller County district attorney's office said that her death would be investigated as a possible murder.
