The unnecessary death of Ethan Saylor and what has changed in 10 years
Of course, 10 years ago, I didn’t know yet that it would. I had just come off maternity leave and was working from home on the day my editor called and asked if I could look into an incident that happened on Jan. 12, 2013 in Frederick County, Maryland.At the time, all we knew was that a 26-year-old man with Down syndrome had died after an encounter with sheriff’s deputies and that his name was Robert Ethan Saylor.
I would also later learn that Saylor was called “Ethan” by those who knew him, loved reggae and looked up to law enforcement officers.The first story I wrote about him told of how he was a loyal viewer of the show “NCIS” and would sometimes call 911 just to ask dispatchers a question.
If you are one of them, this is what you should know about him: He left a large legacy. But it should be larger. “If one life has been saved or one negative interaction has been avoided, we’ve met our goals, and I think that has been true over and over again in the last 10 years,” his mother Patti Saylor said on a recent morning. “We have made an impact. I don’t want to minimize that. But I think all of us want something bigger and more systemic and more comprehensive. And we all thought we’d be there by now.
