Walid Abdelaziz, in His Individual Capacity as a Police Officer for the City of Oakland, California, et al. v. Estate of Decedent Lolomania Soakai, et al.

Whether bystanders injured when a fleeing criminal suspect lost control of his car and crashed into them have a Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process claim against the pursuing police officers for accidental injuries the officers did not intend.
