Any and all interactions between cops and African Americans should be recorded immediately 💯

Tyrell Johnson says he was doing construction work on a home when police arrived, saying they were called to the home for a report that four Black males were holding an elderly man hostage.

Now the video of their encounter with police has gone viral, gaining more than 1.7 million views on TikTok.

“We got a call of four black males tying up an old male,” the officer in the video said.

“I don’t know anything about that,” Johnson replied to the officer.

“I don’t really know how I felt to be honest. I was a little nervous. I was upset. I was confused. My emotions were kind of high,” Johnson told News 4.

He was working with his business partner Chris Radcliffe at the time of the encounter. Radcliffe was working in the back of the house at the time and says he immediately took off his headphones and put down his tools.
