They are not allowed to do homeless sweeps which they would prefer vs letting their cities degrade as they have. They also get restricted by DAs and politicians when they arrest criminals, who then have same criminals released back on the street. The problem is one of political constraints on police's ability to enforce law and order. It is why organized retail theft is just allowed to occur over and over again unimpeded.
