The industry that wants control of all sides of the story, therefore the media claims to tell all sides of the story and be on everyone's side.
What the media and grief/tragedy/sympathy industry won't tell people is how on their own they really are, and how the industry doesn't give a fuck about them, it's a machine that depends on them to keep running.

An industry that pretends to be on your side, rooting for you instead of the events that make the industry possible (storms, crime, death, accidents, bad news).

Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.
People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.
