Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?

  I should have clarified that my first sentence in that comment is a concession.

  Being given stolen food is not a crime, that is correct. It is only relevant if she was either directing the person to kill the officer to steal the food on her behalf, or was actively participating in the raid where the aforementioned killing of the officer occurred.

  I still maintain that Star Trek is often less than perfect when it comes to driving dramatic effect. For instance: Sisko could probably have not made a planet full of people uninhabitable just to make a point. Sometimes the writers make shitty things happen to drive the story.
