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].

The number of people that die is only a subset of the total number of victims of police brutality. Besides that, the topic is broader than just the number of deaths. The police represent the state and thus represent the escalating willingness of the state to abuse it's citizens.

2. There is so much more to it than just the number of people who have died. Entire populations live in fear of contacts with the police.

#69Can you also add all the times cops are abused and murdered on the job, trying to protect innocent people? Thanks.
