Good point about gun control.
Can the local government impose curfews. Does it already exist?

How good is the foster care system there? How strict are the truancy laws ?

I read about some new, recently federally mandated initiative on gun violence in Connecticut so let's not pretend like the federal government can't play an active role in local matters. I'll see if i can find the article.

Yep the federal government can provide incentives to the state government on plenty of things.

Throwing more black people in jail won't fix sh*t.

I'm not talking jail.
I was against drug testing ppl for food stamps if it meant cutting them off. But I could be for that if it meant funneling them into programs and measures that could help them.

Still looking for the article but I stumbled upon this little gem while searching.
just a snippet: Juarez, Mexico - The US Central Intelligence Agency and other international security forces "don't fight drug traffickers", a spokesman for the Chihuahua state government in northern Mexico has told Al Jazeera, instead "they try to manage the drug trade". Allegations about official complicity in the drug business are nothing new when they come from activists, professors, campaigners or even former officials. However, an official spokesman for the authorities in one of Mexico's most violent states - one which directly borders Texas - going on the record with such accusations is unique. "It's like pest control companies, they only control," Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva, the Chihuahua spokesman, told Al Jazeera last month at his office in Juarez. "If you finish off the pests, you are out of a job. If they finish the drug business, they finish their jobs."
