The media will have to split its forces to cover both Chitown and Baltimore. Probably plenty in reserve to cover pop up dumbassery elsewhere if needed.

people being killed by agents of the government is very different than someone dying from cancer because they smoked cigarettes. it's also different than people dying from failure of agents of government from stopping others from killing you. this is why blacks getting shot by cops is a legitament concern, as is terrorism.
that said, cops shooting blacks isn't an "epidemic" and you're right, it's made out to be a race issue only in certain situations

I am just glad that there are way more good cops then bad, and the bad ones need gone. However, that requires integrity, and that seems to be in short supply in some places.
