CMV: If the police spends more time chasing REAL criminals instead of mentally ill drug addicts, the world would be a better place

There is a place near me where a large portion of the city's homeless hang out during the day because the shelters only open at night. The majority of them are mentally ill, which caused them to become homeless and exposed to drugs in the first place. I had personally met someone who hangs out there, because I met that person at a psych ward. Whenever I walk by there, I always see multiple police cars parked outside. The police would just sit at their car "keeping an eye on things". Maybe it's why half of violent crime cases in the state involving murder and rape go unresolved. Too many rape kits go untouched every year due to the lack of resources and are thrown in the trash. The police are so focused on targeting vulnerable, sick people and are less focused on the real problems in the world.

A on the street police officer just doesn’t do any of those other things. That is what a detective or a lab technician does. 

You can’t move on the street police officers to those fields because they are different fields. 

Also one might argue that they are there also for the people protection. That police could help with assault between homeless people (or agaisnt them), with drug concerns, etc. 

A lot of crime like sexual assault and assault happens in these communities. And they need to be protected just as much.

They aren’t necessarily getting targetted. They are vulnerable to being hurt in the first place, just... the perpetrator is likely also in the community.
