It isn't about anyone dying, it's about crime stats that show that brown citizens commit a disproportionate amount of crime. If no one is incentivized to report crimes, then problem solved! No more racist crime stats. No need to actually address the cause when you can just redefine the issue so it's not a problem anymore.

It's the same reason BART doesn't release footage of subway crimes anymore.
