1: Police unions: Police in this country hold a monopoly on violence granted by the state. Police unions in turn have created a political bubble around the holders of this monopoly. By politicizing what should essentially be a public servant, we have made any accountability for these public servants very difficult to perform.
2: Breech of public trust can never be punished with a slap on the wrist. There cannot be "get out of jail free" sentencing for people of note. That deconstructs any trust anyone can have in the system, if there exists a class who cannot have the law applied to them.
3: A bill of Human rights, designed to encompass attempts to remove rights from certain people. A focus on positive rights, ie "the right to live", rather than negative rights "the right to cause damage to others via an existing right(property rights)".
4: Overturning of citizens united or the ability to punish corporations in an equivalent measure to how an individual can be punished. The fines must always be greater than what can be saved by exploitation via crime.
That's more or less a start. I'm no political scientist but to me these are big points of gridlock.
