Why does the media feel the need to mention race in this situation? What purpose does it serve? Is it really relevant to what happened?
Frankly, it seems silly to me. They might as well write something like: "The officer, who is left-handed, shot the bilingual man after mistakenly entering his apartment..."
I think there
is a reason they're doing it, though. Just not a good one.
