#3 There are two things in play here. The first is that diving down into the murder problem inevitably leads to black guys shooting black guys. Not an easy thing to admit or fix.

The other is you can make more money *trying* to fix a problem than actually fixing it. Vote for me and I will fight to fix Problem X. We will need money. And community outreach. And community outreach assistants. And a new city department of gang intervention. Come on, man! Get onboard and we can all get our beaks wet.

Note that strategy #2 only works if the problem never actually goes away.

#5 Actually, money for the prosecution offices for far more hours to address the under incarceration problem. Lock them away if you are not going to permanently remove them as a threat to society.
