A few months ago in my neck of the woods a man was killed by cops for simply sitting in his own backyard at 2 am. The cops were apparently looking for someone they thought was in the area, were startled to find someone in the back yard, and shot him on sight.
Frankly it's hard to blame whoever they were looking for for running. Given what actually happened it's seems unlikely their suspect was going to survive being caught.

It makes me wonder if we're heading towards a future, where more and more average every day citizens refuse to engage with police on any level.
