Why doesn't God intervene to stop evil?

[CHRISTINE77]

God has the ability to provide without having to compromise someone else’s free will. How? I don’t know, that’s his details, not mine to know.

When he chooses not to do things this way, that’s a “NO” to the prayer request.

There may be a reason he is saying no. But it’s odd what you are saying. Are you sure? Mostly God says yes. He never gives a stone to someone who asks for bread.

 

[AFerri48]

Or, far more likely, wants us to be capable of choosing what to believe, how to behave and who to love - rather than stooges incapable of shaping our own destiny!

But does the police officer interfering make the shooter a stooge incapable of shaping his own destiny?
