In a hypothetical where both could be accomplished at the same time, equitably and humanely, most certainly yes. Those qualifications are important, lest either issue just be used as a rallying cry to inflict cruelty, pretend token reforms, or otherwise do half the job. If you'd like to respond constructively, I can elaborate. Also of course we live in the real world where we can't atomically commit to perform both. This makes heuristics highly important. And if this ongoing topic doesn't grate against your own large-context sense of what is more fundamental to the kernel of society, this particular incident should at least run afoul of a small-context concern of when a government is killing its own citizens.
