This is what might be called a "sidebar" story.  "Sidebar," in the newspaper world, is an interesting "by the way" story that often accompanies the major story. It usually has some relevancy and is interesting, but it's of secondary importance. Usually.  Not this time. It's front-and-center.

The major story, in this instance, is the shooting death of a young First Native youth. The suspect in custody is white. This is a HUGE story.  But it seems that it gets second billing by the "sidebar": oh, by the way, did the investigating officers act responsibly/hastily/professionally in their initial reaction to the shooting?

Ironically, the people who appear more offended by the police reaction to the killing (no other word will do) are...First Nations people themselves, who obviously--see the placards in the protest on the courthouse steps!--deem it more important than the fact that they lost one of their band to violence.
