Josh Riddick of Live Free Indiana argues that gun violence can be reduced without increasing incarceration by investing in community-based solutions. His organization focuses on public safety infrastructure, mental health crisis response, affordable housing, and challenging media narratives that misrepresent the demographics and causes of violence.

Riddick states, 'We construct communities that create the conditions for incarceration, we create the conditions for people to participate in violence. So when you give someone other options, they generally will take that.' He notes the average age of victims and shooters is 33, often involving interpersonal relationships, not 'roving band[s] of teenagers.'

A Black South Carolina couple, Cartre Rush and Jasmine Scott, filed a federal lawsuit against a state trooper for wrongfully holding their family at gunpoint. The stop was based solely on an uncorroborated 911 complaint alleging stolen items in their U-Haul. The incident, recorded by their teenage daughter, caused significant trauma to their three children.

The lawsuit alleges gross negligence, false imprisonment, and excessive force. The trooper stopped the family based on a 'bogus' 911 call from a 'random person' with no corroboration. Officers immediately drew guns, put the parents in handcuffs, and left the children crying in the truck. The family sought counseling.
