Worse...every part was true but extremely misleading. They did gun down a black man, they had been called for him passing out in the drive through, I believe.
...They just all conveniently left out the part that he was not asleep in his car when he was shot, but was actively fighting with police, stealing their weapon (taser), and firing it at the police as he ran.
Lie : asleep in the parking lot
Truth : passed-out under the influence in the drive-through lane
Verdict : vaguely inspired by the events.
Lie : he was complying.
Truth : he initially followed police instructions then suddenly grabbed one cop's weapon ( taser gun ) and shot at the cops with it.
Lie : He didn't do nuffin, he ran away and was shot the in the back!
Truth : He was actually shooting at the cops with the taser-gun while running away.
So I wouldn't say every part was true.
Every part you mentioned in the first post was true, and those were generally the headlines. They try to lead you to assume that the rest was the case, and some did lie. But a lot is just intentional misrepresentation.
