Police shot and killed Antwan Gilmore after he fell asleep in his car at traffic lights, but were able to arrest a white supremacist carrying a machete and bayonet "patrolling" DNC headquarters in a pick up truck with swastikas painted all over it. OK. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…
Police shooting and killing a Black man - almost no media coverage.
Police arresting a White Nazi - front page news.
Maybe it's because they do a whole lot more of the first than they do of the latter.

PS - It's interesting @washingtonpost chose to use a photo of the MPD Chief at a press conference to accompany the second article.
There was no press conference about the police killing of Antwan Gilmore. That's a file photo.

Why make it seem like the police are doing more than they are?
AND why can't you use a photo of Mr. Gilmore?
Rest in power.
