The ambiguity of your comment leaves space for the reader to guess whether you are blaming the police for their (alleged) comparative spending or blaming the journalists for their comparative coverage.
whether you are blaming the police… or blaming the journalists
They could also just be saying a statement without forcing blame on anyone. If I say the sky is blue, I’m not blaming the sky for having moisture nor blaming my eyes for perceiving it as blue.
My intent was to convey that the existence of a media frenzy is not proof that the police are spending disproportionate resources on the investigation.
There was a media frenzy around the murder of George Floyd, but hardly any spending by the police in the investigation.
Any evidence for either number?
No, but you also never see a homeless man’s death make international news.
The police didn’t control the news though.

Didn’t they raise bridges and try to create checkpoints all around the area? That never happens for anyone else.
I haven’t heard about that yet. An excellent counterpoint if true though.
But the NYPD doesn’t control the news? Like, that has nothing to do with how much their spending on the investigation as far as I can tell.
Indisputably true and society’s moral failure on its own, but the OP is questionable.
