Of course "the media" focuses on incidents where cops abuse their power.

"The media" also exalts policemen and soldiers as heroes, with countless reminders to thank our "heroes" and millions of hours of Hollywood entertainment devoted to showcasing heroic soldiers and cops. Much of the media denounces the protests as well.

    A different sort of bias comes into play with 
    word choice, using "victims" to refer to people 
    who typically are violent criminals being 
    apprehended. The word ought to be "perpetrators",
    "suspects", or simply "criminals".

Surely you see the irony in using an equally loaded set of terms yourself?

In all of the incidents that sparked outcry, police were shown on video using vastly asymmetrical force against victims who were nonviolent or who had already been subdued. One, Breona Taylor, was in bed when police knocked down the wrong door when serving a no-knock warrant. Elijah, the teen injected with ketamine, was nonviolent and had no history of violence or crime.

There are a lot of incidents of police violence in which the suspect is behaving violently and, in these cases, I have not seen public outcry.
