Police Are Useless

Police Are Useless: Downplayed. The police are quite capable of solving crimes (or apparent crimes) that are committed for sensible reasons. It's when the reasons behind the crime make no sense that they encounter problems and need to call in a specialist in nonsense.

Success Through Insanity: Gabriel in a nutshell. His entire value to the police is that he is just crazy enough to guess at the motives of madmen, and just sane enough to explain those motives to the police.

comment
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Justified. Gabriel is not a detective by trade, but a painter, and as such only has reason to get involved if the crime happens to intersect with his interest in madmen.
