They're Hispanic, so the story goes that they walked into a bar in West Virginia and began to assault a girl which triggered a fight in which police were called and they are now blaming it on racism.

Officer Rick Gandee pursues a suspected drunk driver through narrow residential streets. When the suspect suddenly stops and bails out on foot, Officer Gandee briefly manages to wrestle the man to the ground. In the rush to make the arrest, the officer forgets to put his car on park.
The car begins to roll forward, and as the suspect manages to break free, the officer is run over by his own squad car. Officer Gandee sustains 5 broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a deep gash on his right arm, but survives and makes a full recovery.

Around 2 p.m. on April 3, officers responded to a home on Sierra Street after a 911 caller reported that a man, later identified as 24-year-old Martell Hare, Jr., was armed with a gun and standing in front of their home.
Moments later, several other 911 calls came in, claiming that Hare was acting erratically and waving a gun around the neighborhood. In one 911 recording released Friday afternoon, the dispatcher asks: “Is he pointing at you or what exactly?” — The caller replies, “Yes. Yes. Yes.”
Hare then got into a Toyota sedan and reportedly began driving erratically up and down the street. As an officer enters the neighborhood, dashcam video shows Hare driving towards him. Police say the officer spotted a weapon, which prompted him to fire multiple rounds at the vehicle.
Police previously said that a second officer witnessed what happened but didn't shoot. The video doesn't show Hare firing any shots.
After the officer exits the patrol vehicle, the unidentified officers can be heard saying: “Drop the gun. Drop the gun. Let me see your hand [...] Don't reach for anything.”
The officer approaches and asks Hare to open the door from the outside and lie on the floor directly onto his stomach. Hare lies on his back for a few seconds before correcting his position.
Hare is then handcuffed and then rendered medical aid.
“Ay, I'm not a criminal bro. I just want to die,” Hare told officers.
Hare was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries to his arms. Court papers later revealed that he wanted to initiate an officer-involved shooting.
Inside the car, detectives recovered a BB gun resembling a 9mm handgun.

Police
For anything involving police activity. While usually you will see silly criminals trying to get the drop on cops or pulling out knives and promptly losing their lives, This is also the place for when our brave men (and women) in blue fall in the line of duty.
