I believe it has to do with the profitability of the situation. The more people that watch and the more drama it creates is worth the ratings apparently. Objective, or "neutral," journalism is becoming a thing of the past. I'm actually writing my final essay on this shit right now lol.
All this shit is eventually going to create some amounts of civil unrest (like it hasn't already.) There are a few other families speaking out about their family members being murdered by racial profiling. That is more shit being thrown at the fan... To think, people on the other side of the world are happy just to get their first pair of shoes, while people here worry about welfare and how racist shit is... The fuck is this place coming to?
