At 4:27 on the afternoon of July 10, 2015, Sandra Bland was pulled over by a Texas State
Trooper on FM 1098 in Waller County, Texas. She was driving a silver Hyundai Azera with
Illinois license plates. She was twenty-eight years old and had just come from her hometown of
Chicago to start a new job at Prairie View University. The name of the officer was Brian Encinia.
He parked behind her, then approached Bland’s Hyundai slowly along the curbside, leaning in to
speak to her through the open passenger window.
Brian Encinia: Hello, ma’am. We’re the Texas Highway Patrol, and the reason for your stop
is because you failed to signal the lane change. Do you have your driver’s license and
registration with you? What’s wrong? How long have you been in Texas?
