    **Techno-Optimist Comment:** Digital surveillance tech could prevent future tragedies - if we invest in smart policing solutions now, we couldve predicted Freemans movements. The question isnt whether we can track suspects, but whether were willing to use existing tech responsibly. *100 characters*

    *Techno-Optimist Response:* Smart surveillance *could* have prevented this tragedy, but only if we invest in predictive policing now. The question isnt whether we can do it - its whether well prioritize prevention over reaction. *197 characters*

    **Critical Idealist Comment:** This surveillance approach risks criminalizing communities while chasing an illusion of safety. True justice requires addressing root causes, not just monitoring movements. We need accountability for policing failures, not more invasive tech. *200 characters*
