Can you tell a difference between these cases? There is a small difference between the first three headlines and the ones that come after.
First one is of course Cannon Hinnant. He was white, so his life definitely doesn't matter to the media.
Second one is the case of baby Antonio, whose mother was taking him out in a stroller, when a couple of... ahem... teens approached her and demanded money at gunpoint. She replied that she did not have money because she had a baby, and babies are expensive. So they asked: "do you want me to shoot your baby?" And then they shot him at point blank range. He was half-Latino, and his murderers we black, so since they outranked him in Victimology Poker, they couldn't care less about his murder and ignored the racial angle.
Note that the victim in the third headline is Captain David Dorn. But he ain't black, and besides, his attackers were black as well - so the media runs away from that like a feminist from a salad.
