Police brutality is a Bad Thing. There is also much lower hanging fruit in terms of saving lives and improving the world. About 1,000 people die in the US each year through encounters with the police. Over 400,000 people die in Africa each year from Malaria and we have very effective tools for combating it[1]. Police brutality is a big issue but the current media attention doesn't make "boring" causes less important or deadly.

Why stop there? Millions of people die of heart disease every year, so we’d better stop treating malaria until that’s sorted.

Society doesn’t actually have to solve one problem at a time. And that would lead to some pretty bizarre outcomes.
