As 'Driving While Black' asserts , 29-year-old Charles Leon Johnson II was fatally shot during a traffic stop back in July 2014. There are reports that the officer was allegedly dragged along the road by Johnson who tried to escape the traffic stop. Of course, with the awareness that police reports are at times fabricated, questions remain about the facts surrounding these cases.
