I think what is highlighted here is that it becomes news when the US police behave as they should to an event, rather than like a bunch of thugs.

I've said before, the police as an occupation attracts thugs and crooks because it allows them to do what they want without breaking the law. The same has applied many times in the UK police force too, but because carrying guns is not the norm for them, its not quite so final.
