Is the difference race, media, community?

Rioting occurred in Ferguson, Missouri after Michael Brown was shot by police. Rioting occurred in Baltimore, Maryland after Freddie Gray died in police custody. Yet, when John Paul Quintero was fatally shot allegedly when his hands up were up and his back was towards the Wichita, Kansas police (reference), there was no public outcry. Why?
