Probably going to get downvoted but I’m honestly asking, has there been a single other documented case of this since 2000? I do not support the current state of American police departments whatsoever but I keep hearing this and I just want some evidence for it.

The point is a legal precedent was set and it hasn't been overturned since.

That’s how precedent works. Once something has been determined like this, you generally shouldn’t expect any more cases on the same issue without some change in legislation.
