Bruises on the forehead is pretty bad. Sounds like this case got all messed up. An interesting development.
Texas police officer in Sandra Bland case says he was threatened to keep quiet about evidence of wrongdoing
A Texas police officer who witnessed the Sandra Bland arrest says he has evidence of wrongdoing in the racially charged case, but top county officials threatened him, saying he would lose his job if he didn't stay mum.
The Prairie View police officer Michael Kelley told the Huffington Post he saw bruises on Bland’s forehead at the time of her July 2015 arrest and says he overheard the arresting officer, state trooper Brian Encinia, call his superviser to mull over what charges the woman should face.
Kelley says those details were omitted from the official report.
“My opinion is that he (Encinia) messed up,” Kelly told HuffPost. “He did not have probable cause to detain her after he pulled her out of the car.”
Kelley, who responded to the scene of the arrest, says a county prosecutor warned him against testifying before a grand jury or speaking with an attorney for the Bland family.
