The entire media? Vigorously pushing? Citations would help here.

Yeah, that's bullshit unless I guess you're in some very specific filter bubble. I'm pretty left on the spectrum and I didn't see the media "pushing" it. They've reported it because that's what was going on at the time. Maybe people confuse the two.

Rather than tossing in a straw man, how about read the article?
- “People don't want to cooperate, people don't want to come to court and testify…”
- “But that mistrust is also bred by the department's chronic dysfunction…”

OP is being conspiratorial, so I doubt they can really cite anything.
The idea isn't insane and would have to be determined anecdotally, which heavily depends on your daily news cycle.

#16Why limit this to unsolved murders? How many police depts ignore property crime? How many police depts have hour long wait times for 911 response? How many 911 systems routinely delay or drop calls? We had a story near here recently where a DUI accident investigation couldn't proceed because it took so long for police to arrive that the suspect sobered up enough Or the woman who was hit by a car and the police took o…
Just repeat after me: "We don't have the resources for that"

#17Why does the lead photo prominently feature a “racism is a sin” sign and the article immediately mentions PoC victims in Oakland? Isn’t the vast majority of PoC victimhood in Oakland intraracial? Not many Klansmen walking around Oakland. Annoying race baiting from NPR.
That's presumably the sign outside the church of the pastor they interviewed. He puts up wooden crosses for each homicide. Makes sense if you've read the article.

Is "race baiting" really a sufficiently specific description? How often does NPR/NYTimes/Washington Post/CNN/.. highlight the race of white victims, as opposed to PoC?

#19It always struck me as ironic that "the perfect murder" is such a big trope in fiction, while in real life an astonishing number of them go unsolved.

I would guess they are bringing up racism in the systemic sense. That relatively little resources are used to investigate those murders.
