A white Grand Rapids, Michigan, resident challenged city commissioners recently, testifying that he spent a year driving through five police jurisdictions with fake license plate tags specifically to test for racial bias.
A white resident identifying himself as “Lucas G.R.” testified at the commission meeting after Grand Rapids police shot and killed 32-year-old Da-Quain Johnson on the evening of February 18, 2026. Reports say Grand Rapids police pursued Johnson as he rode a bicycle in southeast Grand Rapids. Police suspected Johnson was armed. There were no public 911 calls about him.
