    I mostly member outcome of the cases not the details that were presented when I initially read about it.

    The Jordan Edwards case comes to mind, police shot him as he was driving away, they initially claimed he was reversing twords them. Footage releases later proved otherwise.

    There was a case of a kid getting shot because he went to put something behind his car to stop it from rolling back and hitting the cops behind him.
