Entice?????????

an enticement is a legitimate and ethical way of persuading someone to take a desired action. It involves offering something of value to someone as an incentive to do something, without any coercion or dishonesty.


More like bribe or threaten

A bribe is a dishonest or illegal act of offering something in exchange for a desired outcome. It is a form of corruption and can have serious legal consequences.


And this bothsiderism.... are they for real with this:

It is not unusual for federal grant money to be tied to a political agenda. During the Obama administration, for instance, the DOJ gave additional consideration to agencies that said they wanted to build trust in their communities. That was just a few years after the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. During President Joe Biden's years in office, priority was given to cities that used community approaches to violence intervention.
