At Rest

Deadly force
A late-morning traffic stop on Johnson for rolling through a stop sign developed when the officer discovered Johnson's outstanding warrants. A second officer arrived. Johnson tried to get back into his car and drive off, but with one of the police hanging from the car, the officer was being dragged, which was the justification for deadly force. Johnson was killed with at least three shots.
This record exists so that Robert Louis Johnson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
