Although it could be the very same reason police officers cannot/do not act upon people stealing under $1000 of merchandise from stores in San Francisco. Democratic policies that are meant to protect so called “protected classes of people” (Black, Latino) inherently allow for low level criminal activity to proliferate because the notion is that if you’re tough on crime it will disproportionately affect Blacks and Latinos. Being tough on crime, even the lowest of crimes, breeds a culture that says “we don’t fuck around you’ll get put where you belong if you break the law - any law” and then your police force will be forced to report on all crimes. Does this potentially force police officers to spend time on low level crimes meanwhile there is a shoot out across town? Possibly. Up to you on how you want to divvy up the force and their attention and/or their funding.

What you’re asking for is what most democratic pundits would call “racist policy” and by this logic you are a racist. Congrats on being inducted to the majority of citizens who are considered racist under this ideology.
