A reason, perhaps the main reason, may be gleaned from the following graphic:

The above stats are clearly in the ball park according to every study I have read. Heather Mac Donald has done outstanding work on this topic. I refer you to her.
One reason why leftists won't enforce existing laws is because (1) doing so would have a "disproportional impact on blacks," and (2) such disproportionality violates the value of 'equity' to which leftists subscribe.
Leftists (mis)use 'equity' to mean equality of outcome or result. 'Equity' is at or near the top of the Left's axiological hierarchy: a high or the highest value to be striven for in our social and political arrangements.
Someone who accepts both (1) and (2) will be loathe to enforce existing laws against homicide and other crimes.
Now (1) is undoubtedly true. The reason is simple: blacks as a group commit more crimes than the other groups mentioned. And so it follows that their incarceration rates are higher. This is so even after we subtract off unjust convictions due to racial bias among jurors, and the malfeasance of corrupt judges, overzealous careerist prosecutors, and bad cops.
(2), however, is undoubtedly false. The reason is that 'equity' is a disvalue, not a value. The word as used by leftists is a neologism that conflates the distinction between equality in legitimate and attainable senses (equality of opportunity, equality before the law, treating like cases in a like manner, and such related ideas as due process which are the glory of the Anglo-American legal system) and, on the other hand, equality of outcome, which is unattainable except by police-state means, and even then not sustainable for long: life's natural hierarchies will inevitably reassert themselves.
It might go like this: the USA under the yoke of 'woke' continues to weaken itself until it collapses under the effect of its own decadence in synergy with external attack and invasion by its geopolitical enemies. It is a good bet that this is in our near future, within ten years. It is not inevitable, but there is no reason to be sanguine about the prospects of push-back. The oligarchic deep state will do everything and anything to crush Donald J. Trump and will of course if necessary attempt an 'Ecuadorean solution.'
If the USA collapses, then the natural hierarchy of aptitude, ability, resoluteness, etc, will have reasserted itself. We will then both collectively and individually face the Islamist-Sino-Russki trilemma: either embrace and affirm the new order, or accept political-cum-religious dhimmitude, or 'be put to the sword,' if not literally then by cancellation of livelihood and incarceration.
There will never be, and their cannot be, equality of outcome or result over the long haul because of the different aptitudes and abilities and interests of different peoples and groups of people.
