Coignard picked up a red, wall-mounted phone in
the police department lobby and asked to speak
with an officer – for reasons that also remain
unclear.
The teenager may have been “wielding a knife”,
according to the mayor. Police say “they were
confronted by a white female who threatened
them” – after which she brandished some sort of
weapon, “made threatening movements toward
the
officers and was shot”. Motives on either side are
still relatively unknown.
What is clear, nearly a week later in Texas and six
months after police killings and community
relations starting coming under renewed scrutiny
across the US, is that another teenager has died
after being shot “multiple times” by local cops.
Three officers are on paid leave, the Longview
police told the Guardian. A preliminary autopsy
report has ruled the death a homicide.
And in the case of Kristiana Coignard, as in what
advocates and sheriffs agree constitute more than
half of US police killings each year, the victim
appears to have had mental health problems.
Call it “justifiable homicide”: FBI statistics
counted 461 encounters between police and those
they killed with the threat of violence in 2013.
Some have dubbed it “suicide-by-cop”, as about
one-third of such cases can be classified – in
addition to undoubtedly many more undercounted
deaths. The hacktivist collective Anonymous
prefers “trained to kill”.
Whatever you call the overlapping patterns of
police violence and brief encounters with young
and possibly unstable citizens, mental health
advocates insist the United States is “not keeping
track”.
“We’ve deputised America’s police to be mental
health workers,” Doris A Fuller, executive
director
of the Treatment Advocacy Center, told the
Guardian. “We’re asking cops to make a split-
second decision about whether someone is
actually a threat to them.”
On a Facebook page for the Longview police, a
user claiming to be Coignard’s uncle wrote that
“for quite a few years my niece suffered from
mental illness”.
The teenager was taking medication, seeing a
therapist and living with her aunt, Heather
Robertson, according to an interview with
Robertson at ThinkProgress. She told the website
that Coignard had struggled with depression and
bipolar disorder since her mother’s death when
she
was four years old. Robertson said her niece had
been “only violent with herself”.
“I think it was a cry for help,” Robertson said of
the incident in the police department lobby. “I
think they could have done something. They are
grown men. I think there is something they are
not telling us.”
There is video of the killing, Coignard’s aunt said
the police told her.
A Longview police spokesperson, Kristie Brian,
told the Guardian there are currently no plans to
make footage available to the public. She declined
to confirm the type of weapon Coignard allegedly
brandished but said the department expects to
release more details about the shooting later this
week. The Texas Ranger Division is investigating
the incident.
Brian said Longview officers “are trained in all
kinds of different situations”, including dealing
with people with mental health problems, and that
the county has a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT),
which sees specially trained officers dispatched to
urgent psychiatric situations. She said she did not
know whether the three officers currently on
leave had been CIT-trained.
Signboard is the third person – and the third
young person – shot dead by Longview police in
less than a year. No charges were filed by a grand
jury against three officers who killed a
15-year-old robbery suspect during a shootout last
March. A 23-year-old cook with a history of
making threats
died in August after a routine traffic stop went
away.
Three-and-a-half hours south, in Houston, the
2012 death of Brian Claunch had exemplified the
potential for tragedy when police with limited
training encounter a troubled individual in a
pressurised situation. Though Houston has a
widely praised CIT programme, two officers
without that experience were called to a care
home
one night when Claunch, a schizophrenic,
wheelchair-bound double amputee, started
behaving erratically.
Police said that he grew violent and cornered an
officer while waving a shiny object in their
direction. Matthew Marin shot the 45-year-old in
the head. The object proved to be a ballpoint pen.
In June 2013, a grand jury declined to bring
charges against the officer.
That year a police officer in Dallas was dismissed
from his job, and indicted by a grand jury in
2014,
after he shot a mentally ill man who was holding
a knife but standing still several yards away. The
encounter lasted less than 30 seconds from the
officers’ arrival to the gunfire.
A 2013 joint report by the Treatment Advocacy
Center and the National Sheriffs’ Association
found
that while no national data is officially collected
on fatal police shootings of the mentally ill,
“multiple informal studies and accounts support
the conclusion that ‘at least half of the people shot
and killed by police each year in this country have
mental health problems’.”
A third of “justifiable homicides”, the study
found, could be characterised as “suicide-
by-cop”, and many victims were not taking their
medications nor under close supervision by
mental health agencies.
Not unlike the larger call for more reliable
nationwide numbers to address all police killings,
advocates say a lack of firm data leads to a
standard of police responses to encounters with
the mentally ill that depends on officer training
and varies widely from department to department.
“We’re not keeping track of that, so we don’t
really have a handle on the situation,” said the
Treatment Advocacy Center’s Fuller, adding that
research indicated about half the US population
lives in counties served by CIT policing.
Ron Honberg, national director of policy and
legal
affairs at the National Alliance on Mental Illness,
said his organisation has called on the US justice
department to keep better track of deaths involving
police and the mentally ill. Outgoing attorney
general Eric Holder, whose replacement was
expected
to pass confirmation hearings on Wednesday in
Washington, recently called the lack of more
comprehensive police incident data “troubling”.
Honberg said the standard police response to
someone behaving aggressively is often to “come
in and
be very assertive, and that can be exactly the
wrong way to deal with someone who may be
having a
serious psychiatric episode” and may have a fear
of the authorities.
While better training and protocols are vital, he
told the Guardian, at their core the violent
encounters are “a manifestation of a broken
mental health system”.
Anonymous, in a video posted on Saturday, cited
Coignard’s death as the impetus for a new
operation
called Stop Lethal Force on Children.
“In 2014, we watched as police killed children
and
it started a army [sic] of angry Americans,” the
group said. “This teen girl’s death just put fuel on
that fire.”
Three cops, a 17-year-old and 'a cry for help':
why did Kristiana Coignard die?
Just after sunset last Thursday,
17-year-old Kristiana Coignard entered a
police
station in Longview, Texas, a small city two hours
east of
Dallas with a history of police violence not
all that different from the
rest of the United States
– but no less mysterious.
Coignard picked up a red, wall-mounted phone in
the police department lobby and asked to speak
with an officer – for reasons that also remain
unclear.
The teenager may have been “wielding a knife”,
according to the mayor. Police say “they were
confronted by a white female who threatened
them” – after which she brandished some sort of
