A city, a frame-up, and a partnership. Fear as a political tool. Keep it, and talk after.
Judy wants the badge so badly she repeats a slur and calls it science. Nick has been treated as the slur his whole life and became the petty version of it. The villain wants a frightened electorate. The film's apology scene is better than its chase scenes, because a public mistake is corrected in public. The predator-prey device is a fable, not a map of any actual people. Use it as a fable about panic.
Good for a child old enough to know that a fable is a fable. Say that a person is guilty or not. A category is not.
Live historically
When the news names a kind of person as the danger, ask who is selling the fear.
