And so did Dillon Taylor, and David Kassick and many others that the media chooses to ignore.
Dillon Taylor was shot and killed by a Black cop in Salt Lake City less than a week after Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson. The State DA cleared the officer of any wrong doing despite the fact Dillon Taylor had nothing to do with the incident police were responding to. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Too bad for Dillon according the the DA.
David Kassick was shot twice in the back by a cop as he lay face down in the snow. He was shot by the same cop that was tasering him telling him to put his hands where she could see them. Kind of hard to do when you have no muscle control because some bimbo keeps zapping you. She was acquitted by a grand jury. David's "crime"? He was pulled over for having inspection and emission stickers on his truck that were one month out of date. Apparently, he deserved to die too.
"Funny" thing is, on the day Stirling was killed, police in the US has also killed 6 other people who weren't Black. Notice how none of them made the national news?
I gather your point is that the press shouldn't report on the police killing people.
I'm forced to disagree, but you are of course entitled to your opinion.
By the way, I am well familiar with the Kassick case. One must wonder how I heard of it, because I don't live in Pennsylvania, and according to you, the media has a blackout on cases of white people being killed by police.
This was a police execution of an individual who posed no threat to the officer, Jeronimo Yanez, and had declared his weapon and was following police instructions when he was shot down.
This pathetic 'feared for my life' defense always seems to work with police trials when in fact the immense power we put in police hands should make them responsible for discretion, even at some peril to their own safety. in assessing situations and responding cautiously and commensurately
Instead you get this gutless little goof of a police officer screaming he was 'so scared' he had to kill. The police force going to get the sued and will likely lose. Hope it comes out of their pension fund.
And Yanez should get his incompetent, cowardly ass kicked off the St. Anthony, Minnesota police force. No one is safe when you have these police gangstas in possession of weapons.

The city released a statement after the verdict Friday saying the officer’s time with the department is over.
“The City of St. Anthony has concluded that the public will be best served if Officer Yanez is no longer a police officer in our city,” the statement said. “The city intends to offer Officer Yanez a voluntary separation agreement to help him transition to another career other than being a St. Anthony officer.”
Good. At least some police forces feel an necessity to retain some sense of honour and integrity.

Or perhaps they have the mother-wit to realize his presence would utterly destroy what thin fiction of police/community relations they have. So they give him a nice reward for killing Castile, and he's a cop two towns over next week.
I'm expecting they'll go back to being the same ol blue.
I recently read a meme that said "We live in a society where trained police officers are allowed to panic and act on impulse but untrained civilians are expected to remain calm and follow directions with a gun in their face.
Castile did his best to follow the conflicting orders of an hysteric. He died anyway.
Officer Yanez said "I was frightened. I didn't know what he would do." If not knowing what someone will do is reason enough to kill him, none of us are safe at any time or in any place, because one never knows what another will do.
I put both of my hands on the steering wheel whenever I'm pulled over and a Cop approaches my window...and I'm white and live in Canada.
Easy solution: disarm the governmental cops, arm the citizenry as per the 2d Amendment. Problem solved.
As this is a right wing forum, the right wingers here should all be applauding.

That is the way it used to be, and supposed to be in jolly old England when Sir Robert Peel established consensual policing in the first place, the citizenry were armed but police were not. I've not met one LEO that didn't give the blank stare when asked to list even one of Peel's 9 principles of consensual policing, inevitably followed by, " the who?, ... what?"
Applause for what?
