Fire Officer Brian Encinia

The Issue

After reviewing the dash cam video of Sandra Bland's arrest it is apparent that she did nothing to warrant the treatment she was given by Officer Brian Encinia. He had no need to ask her to put her cigarette out and no right to ask her to get out of the car. He treated her unfairly just because she offended his ego, not for any sort of safety issue. If we let ego control Law Enforcement decisions, at some point we will all find ourselves on the wrong end of the law. This woman unfortunately died in custody when she should have never even been taken into custody. This 'Officer' does not deserve a career in Law Enforcement.
