brittney packnett, in the sandra bland case, there are now calls for a federal role. do you think that is important? would that make a difference? >> i think that's absolutely essentially. and i think we can't get away from the basic fact that if officer ensee that hadn't been confrontational with san sandra bland and had not arrested her for failing the use a traffic signal, she would not be dead. to say there is no causal relationship is inaccurate. >> brown: very briefly, heather macdonald, what do you think about the federal role? >> it's unnecessary here. there's no sign of a pattern or practice of civil rights violations in this case. it's... there's simply not any kind of legal case for causation here on the part of officer encina or the police department or highway patrol from which he comes. again, everyone wants to protect plaque lives, and the best way to do that is for policeing to try to protect the community from gun violence. >> brown: all right. >> the best way to do that is to acknowledge what we live with every single day. >> brown: brittany packnett
