‘Say her name: Sandra Bland’
By Betsey Piette posted on July 9, 2021
July 10 marks the sixth anniversary of the day when Sandra Bland was pulled over while driving to a new job at Prairie View A&M University, a historically Black university near Houston. Texas State Trooper Brian Encinia stopped her for allegedly failing to signal a lane change. Police dashcam footage showed that he had tailgated Bland until she was forced to change lanes to let him pass.

The traffic stop quickly escalated after Encinia threatened to use his taser on Bland and then forcefully pulled her from the car, threw her to the ground and restrained her. He charged Bland with assaulting an officer. She was booked at Waller County Jail and held there on $5,000 bond.
