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.

When the police start shooting people because they are bilingual, I am sure the press will start reporting that.
Besides, when a Black person commits a crime and the press does not report the race, the press is accused of covering such things up.
