Lock 'em up

Why would they focus on education, on the environment, on clean public transportation when they can reserve the majority of their budget for cops and prisons! What good could fostering community and increasing our educated population do for safety! Funding more green jobs, parks, clean-burning buses, and thus improving air quality couldn't possibly do anything to keep Angelenos in better health or give them cleaner, safer streets. Supporting more cultural activities? Giving youth more opportunities? You must be crazy! Our tax dollars should be used to keep us in perpetual check. What we need are cops! Clearly, they are doing great things for our city.
