Why can Cops benefit from dead bodies?

Question

I cannot believe what I am seeing. The show,"COPS" just showed a dead victim of a crime. Not blurred or anything, just zeroed in on her laying there, bullet holes in her back, dead, no more decisions, whether to show her dead body on t.v or not, just her young body,bullet wounds, life blood spilled, for the amusement of late night viewers.

She was not in a gang but it was gang violence, and the cops on this show and that exist in most large American cities are the worst gang of all. Why can cops show dead bodies? If you died from a brutal crime would you want your untimely death part of prime time? They showed blood drenched shirts and everything...this is a human being...and they couldn't protect her, and I am certain they didn't care, because her body made them feel manly.

Answer 1

yeah because they dont talk or fight back

Answer 2

It is sad, that someone's life ends and it's just something for people to gawk at.  Things like that are considered "newsworthy" and can be shown on TV and in the newspapers.  It bothers me even more when reporters shove microphones in the faces of grieving family members and ask them, "How do you feel?"  Is that not the most stupid and insensitive question ever?
