It doesn't matter the race of the "alleged victims" or the race of the officers involved. What matters is the excessive brutality of their crime and now their new story.
I will admit that the media seems to be biased with their reporting. They do seem quick to show when a black person is abused by authority figures or if some black persons civil rights are abused. But lets not act like they don't also paint black men as homicidal rapist and black women as ghetto queens. So excuse me if I don't feel more sympathy for the woman in your neighborhood who was gang raped. If you really feel that raw about it you should get everyone in your neighborhood to bombard Fox news with the story.

In some respects, we're on the same page here. It is the brutality of a crime that should determine if it is newsworthy, not the race of the victim or criminal. Unfortunately, that's not the standard that is used for reporting these days. The race of the victim will always take precedance over the brutality of the crime as far as the media goes.
I completely disagree with you on the idea of the media also painting blacks as homicidal rapists. I'm not sure which news sources you use, but most major outlets bend over backwards to make sure they do not show blacks in a poor light.
The only media outlets that show blacks as homicidal rapists and murderers are those outlets which glorify hip hop culture.
