IMO - because they think it will create backlash for them.
Corporate Media doesn’t really care, and riots make for good TV. They were nearly gleeful in some of the coverage. In KC we had pretty tame reactions compared to most places. Partly, I think, to the Mayors reactions to it all, and partly with community planners keeping it tame during the day and at night it rarely got out of hand. I remember that the protest down at the fancy shopping district, The Plaza, had a fairly big protest at night, but the only noteworthy violence was a smashed glass door at the Nike store that they kept cutting to - gasp - not the Nike store!!
There already are cries over the media white washing the “violent riots”, this reporting will probably be skewed more as the right saying that the media is once again doing the heavy lifting for the “radical leftists” and ignore the actions of the DHS, or assume it is made up by the media. “I know what I saw on my TV that summer, they were riots and fires all over the place”. etc etc.
YMMV
