You could say the same thing about the general population. If someone commits a disgusting crime, it will likely be in the paper and there is a good chance that someone will post it here. Stories about people going about their daily lives and not doing anything stupid or heinous, usually aren't that interesting. To use another example, stories about clergy and child molestation make the headlines and get posted here, but no one talks about the ones who do good and are law abiding.

The bottom line is that this officer raped a man with a taser. That deserves to get talked about.
