Well, let's see, he shot a guy in the leg, randomly assaulted 4 guys who were minding their business, and then shot the police. He asked to get killed (literally and figuratively.)
Notice a difference?
Actually, I do: He wasn't shot until after he fired at the police and asked to be killed.
The other guys, while no saints themselves, were unarmed and merely resisting arrest and/or fleeing.
Question is, do we riot, or would creating traffic jams in all major cities be enough to give him justice? For all I know the police fabricated the "fact" of those other people being shot, and their words. These bigoted cops who hate 18 year old whites may have made it all up.
IDK. Aren't PROTESTS predicated on those that believe there is something to protest?
The Black community has a well documented history of police abuse. YES, all police aren't bad.
Perhaps other communities don't have that same history and therefore see such incidents as this as an outlier and not part of a pattern of abuse? If this is true (and I believe it is), then there is nothing sparking outrage because the outrage just doesn't exist.
For what it's worth, the PROTESTS (that 1st amendment thingy) in the Black community is not about Black people asking for special treatment or entitlement. It's a fact that police and law enforcement in general have had a negative history in the Black community. Google "Cointelpro."
If that was your experience, wouldn't you be outraged?
Every community has certain things that cause upset.
While the riots/outrage over Brown were wrong and built on a false narrative, how would rioting over this criminal be any different?
You attack/shoot police, you will likely be 6 feet under in short order.

So I do not get what your point is
Brown attacked police. Goodner attacked police. Both dead.
Riots for Brown. No coverage or minimal coverage for Goodner.

That is the USA MSM for you. If it doesn't support one of their predefined narratives, in this case police being unfair to Black thugs, then they don't cover it unless it's really sensational.
Did the OP search the internet for a story like this to post here???
Why are some of you SO obsessed with race??? I can't think of a less significant detail of a person, yet some of you are always sparking racial debates and it's like... why? Who really cares?
