The
escalation
There is nothing ambiguous about the reason for the
escalation between officer Brian Encinia and
motorist Sandra Bland.
I have always been impressed by the calm professionalism of Texas state
troopers. Encinia was neither calm nor professional. In a matter of seconds, he
turned a routine traffic stop into a physical confrontation. His rage and
threats against this woman showed a police officer out of control.
Whatever is discovered about the cause of Ms. Bland's death
in her jail cell, what is indisputable is that Encinia's misconduct put her
there. The state of Texas needs to explain how such a loose cannon was ever
given a badge, much less a gun, and take the appropriate steps to prevent it
from happening again.
