It's understandable, but not admirable, that the media only cares when it's someone they identify with.

I wouldn't call in "only cares" but certainly "rallies around" more than usual.

Homicides in the general population happen regularly and are taken seriously, but if a cop is murdered? That's next-level enforcement.

Humans naturally band together to protect a tribe they're a part of. Modern tribes revolve around work.

It's really palpable when the media comes out swinging when it's about one of their own.

Can definitely empathize.

In this case, literally a member of the US media.
