The plaintiffs – Trina Martin, her teenage son Gabe, and ex-partner Toi Cliatt – have spent seven years seeking to sue the FBI for damages after agents mistakenly raided their Atlanta home in 2017.
You want a simple, straight, obvious answer. So you create a goon squad with seemingly unlimited power and an endless budget. And now that goon squad is running around town savaging people like a pack of rabid dogs.
So who do you call to investigate and capture the perpetrators you created to investigate and capture the prior iteration of perpetrators?
Plenty of ideas. But if I said “provide public housing” and “guarantee jobs for everyone over the age of 16”, you’d angrily rebut that this doesn’t give you someone to call when you feel scared.
These are complex views of society aimed at alleviating criminal incidents, not simple hotlines you can dial to SWAT your neighbors.
Public housing is a very good thing and needs to be expanded.
However people will still be people and crimes will still happen, so some kind of law enforcment will still be needed.
Same goes for jobs, some people will simply have better jobs, better pay, nicer homes, jealousy doesn’t just disappear becase you get a home and a job.
You make it too complicated.
For me the question is simple.
I get assaulted and robbed, who can I turn investigate and capture the perpetrators?
It’s not a simple situation.
Ask Renee Good. Hell, ask Trina Martin

It is fine to say that you have no idea, so why even bring this up for discussion?
