You are right, Saudi police only beat women to death. And who cares about those.

You mean this story from 2022? https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-arabia-police-chasing-beating-women-orphanage-video

They didn't beat women to death. It was a shocking incident that drew public outcry, an exception rather than a rule.

In response to the video, the governor of the province, Turki bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, ordered the formation of a committee to investigate “all parties” of the incident and “refer the case to the competent authority”.

Either way, I understand it is an uphill battle when it comes to anything Arab or MENA-related. As someone who is completely burnt out, I'd rather put my energy towards something else. Saudi Arabia is rich, it can hire someone to defend it.
