I will assume good faith and bite, even though I am skeptical.
Because murder for money, passion, etc. is unfortunately extremely common in the US, but abuse of power by civil servants is much more newsworthy, and honestly more disturbing.
If the head of the FBI was caught taking bribes from drug dealers, wouldn't that be far more newsworthy than a common drug bust? Of course it would be. Abuse of government power is a real threat to civil society.

- triceratops 6y ago> the narrative was that “black people are being killed unjustly by police officers”. And was that narrative false? Or is it a problem because it's "liberal media" that's pushing the narrative? I'm not seeing your actual issue here.
