People Don't Care About Police Brutality, They Care About Being Victims

This week, Phillip Brailsford was found not guilty in the 1/18/2016 killing of Daniel Shaver. 
To recap the situation: 
- Shaver was drunkenly pointing a non-loaded pellet gun out of a window in order to impress a woman he was with
- People outside saw him, thought it was a real gun, and called the police
- When the police showed up, the supervisor (Brailsford) gave him commands that were contradictory, such as telling him to get on the ground, keep his hands on top of his head, and crawl towards him (all as one action). 
- In the evidential video, Shaver is shown having no malicious intent, he is sobbing, and complying with the officer's commands. 
- Shaver moves his hands away from his head to comply with the officers command of crawling towards him, and he is shot dead. 

My problem here... 
We are all aware of the significant media coverage, rioting, and public outrage whenever an African-American man is shot by the police, because it has to be an act of racism right? There's no chance that the man was shot because he was committing illegal crimes and not complying to police commands, right? 

The amount of rioting and public outrage concerning this incident: Absolutely none. Why exactly? 

Not to mention the fact that the officer has now been found not guilty. If Shaver would have been an African-American man, there would be rallies, petitions, and cries of outrage against the "corrupt, racist American system." 

So, what do you guys think? Do you think that those who riot in the streets and make a big deal out of African-American men getting killed were just busy on the day that Daniel Shaver was killed? Do you think they're just as outraged? 

Or is it possible that they're using that aspect as a way to further pseudo-substantiate their claim that America is a nation founded on racism, and run by racists?
