Police were called to the Johnsonhome after receiving a phone call that Johnson was “ranting and raving aboutpolice persecution.” Johnson resisted arrest, was struck with a billy club, andwas subsequently shot when he tried to defend himself with a lawn edger. Thepolice believed it was an axe. Shortly after the ordeal, his widow, Lemona Johnson,became an important activist in Toronto’s black community, particularlyin matters concerning police brutality. In 1988, she won a $177,000 lawsuitagainst the Metro Toronto Police. See Kirk Makin, “Widow Gets Settlementfrom Police in Shooting,” The Globe and Mail, Feb. 13, 1988: p. A1.47. Kinsman, p. 342.48.

Fabo notes in hindsight that he was probablyinterested in exploring the raids as a “vehicle of control.” Ibid.50. Ibid.51. Ibid.74
