[quote]At a high level though, the number of black americans killed by police (justified or not) in the last 30 years since the 1992 Los Angeles riots seems on the order of 10000. For thread-related context, the number of Americans killed by COVID-19 this year is officially over 100k, could have a non-quite-worst-case of 1 million deaths this year and the number of Americans killed by ageing over the last 30 years is around 100 million.

So I don’t think it unreasonable that someone could understand the stakes of the protest and still rationally perceive the stakes of the virus are sufficiently higher that protesting should not happen in its current form at the current time.[/quote]

A "utilitarian ethical framework" only has relevance to reality if you do the math right. Doing the math right is very hard.

Putting
aside
whether
I
agree
with
"number
of
life-years"
without
reference
to
quality
as
a
worthwhile
objective
(
at
*best*
I
think
it
lacks
nuance)
,
the
effect
of
systemic
racism
on
the
lives
and
lifespan
of
people
of
colour
in
the
United
States
extends
*well*
beyond
the
number
of
people
literally
killed
by
police.
