This was objectively a police execution.
Cops let an attack dog maul this man, while claiming he was "resisting". So naturally one of the cops calmly pulled out his gun and shot him in the back of the head and the back.
Killing Da'quain Tre Johnson on 2/19.
Just like Alex Pretti, Johnson had been disarmed by police. When he posed no threat at all a cop just straight up murdered Da'quain.

Police murdered Johnson on Thursday and were actually pretty quick to release some of the footage of officers on the low speed bike chase.
The cops largely claim that they were super scared and things were super dangerous.
However a second angle of the incident was posted to TikTok and is going viral on social media.
It CLEARLY shows the cops murdering Johnson for no reason.
On paper Da'quain Tre Johnson is not the perfect victim. He has a felony in his past and was on parole, so simple possession of a firearm (regardless of whether he's currently or previously used one in a crime) he could be facing significant jail time.
When you dig deeper into the situation on thursday this all sounds like typical over policing.
Cops were taking the imitative to stop Johnson that night. So far it sounds like there was no call, the cops just wanted to check if he had a gun.
Da'quain Johnson 's mother did a live steam earlier this week describing the experience of going to the scene of her son's death.
She describes the scene as a modern day killing Emmett Till.
The mother saw Da'quain's brains laying in the street when she got there. She says his neck had been ripped open by the cop's attack dog.
This all occurred while Daquan was already restrained.
According to her cops were seen arranging the scene to fit their narrative.
In the immediate aftermath Da'quain's family led a street protest through Grand Rapids demanding justice.
On the 24th the Grand Rapids city council held a meeting and public comment was of course full of people demanding answers.
One white resident describes a history of racist policing in the city and an experiment he'd recently done where he intentionally drove around town with expired license plate tags.
He describes this as a typical type of stop for Black Grand Rapids residents to experience. But despite doing it for an extended time he was NEVER stopped or questioned.
