Bernard was among the people in Katy Sunday to attend a rally organized by activist Quanell X in front of what they believed to be the residence of Brian Encinia, the Texas Department of Public State trooper who pulled over Sandra Bland in Waller County on July 10. "Had this police officer's behavior had not been what it was, and many of us believe his behavior was illegal, this sister perhaps today would still be alive," said Quanell X, speaking outside a restaurant on Southmore Boulevard.
