ELI5: Why is the Freddie Gray shooting a "Black Lives Matter" issue when the only officer being charged with murder is Black, the city is mostly Black, the police force is mostly Black, the mayor is Black, the prosecuting attorney is Black, the president is Black, and the attorney general is Black?

The data that show racial bias among police officers does not show significant differences based on the race of the officer.  It seems that black officers are just as likely to profile black men as white officers are.

As for the news coverage, the news is covering this mostly because of the aftermath, meaning the protests and the riots, and also because Ferguson was so recent.  If this was just a killing with no protests and no riots, it may have had a couple of minutes on a news wrap-up just because this sort of thing is in the national consciousness right now, but other than that it wouldn't be covered outside of the local Baltimore media.
