Explaining the motivating factors behind the protests in St Louis, the AP mentions "several high-profile US cases in recent years", a recognition that those cases are fueling the present one. But, of course, how does a case become "high-profile"? Of the 400 police killings in 2014, how did the Michael Brown case land on the front pages? Well, by landing on the front pages. And by APs own admission, the high-profile cases are those in which a white officer kills a black suspect.
