I wonder how long it is going to take police to realize that there is ALWAYS likely to be video. Cops lie, and lie, and lie and they used to get away with it because authorities are always inclined to take a cop's word over "some punk's" word.  Nowadays, however, when every cell phone has video recording capability and almost everybody over the age of 6 has a cell phone, there tends to be an objective record to contradict cops.

In this case "the vehicle was reversing toward me at high speed" would have become the official fact but for the video record showing the vehicle driving away.
