The issue of how to respond to the attack in San Bernadino should be publicly reframed. The real issues are how to reduce the risk of future violence and protect against future violence.
The GOP approach of xenophobia and increased police and military response actually increases the risk of violence and decreases protection against violence. It’s uninformed, panicky “tough talk” that makes things worse.
If safety is the goal, then many GOP policies need to be shut down.
