Just like how the MSM constantly emphasizes the fact that 5 people died as a result of the capital riots.

When: 2 people died as a result of strokes. No participation in the riot.

1 person trampled by the rioters. 1 unarmed person shot by the police. 1 police officer dead due to being struck in the head.

So clearly, only 2 people died as a consequence of the riots, per your logic.
