Also remember, things are newsworthy because they’re novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.

    Setting aside how we feel about the deceased as well as the police, it’s not much of a dunk to be like “I can’t believe they’re asking the public for information!” Assuming good cops and immoral criminals this is what we’d want the police to be doing.
