Yes, people die every day. There are all kinds of reasons that people die too. Some of those deaths are so shocking either because of who died or how they died that the death becomes a news story. In recent years pretty much any death of a black man at the hands of the cops, no matter what the circumstances, has been "newsworthy". The reason such deaths have been deemed newsworthy is because of a political narrative. The deaths of John Lewis and Herman Cain were also newsworthy and were also made so as part of a political narrative, albeit a different one than police shootings.
In the case of Cannon Hinnant the death SHOULD be newsworthy based on the circumstances. It should totally shock the conscience of any human being that a 5 year old would be shot in the head merely because he rode his bike across a neighbor's lawn. That should shock the conscience but, apparently, it doesn't shock the conscience enough to be truly "newsworthy". In the same vein, the death of David Dorn should shock the conscience and be "newsworthy". His death wasn't. Heck, video of the incident was even censored across all sorts of platforms with the express purpose of PREVENTING it from becoming newsworthy. Why would those stories not carry the same weight as the death of George Floyd or Rayshard Brooks?
Why?
There is one reason that really explains the dilemma. The deaths of people like Dorn, Hinnant, Natalie Wallace, Davell Gardener and others might be significant if our goal was to promote a human narrative but the propagandists in the media, solidly in the pockets of the Democrat party, have a political agenda and human interest stories only matter to them if and when they have "crossover" potential to political interests.
