Is it a crime to be mentally ill in public in your world?

Yes, yelling in a residential neighbourhood in the middle of the night is a disturbance of peace. The fact that it’s caused by unchecked mental health is somewhat separate. (In many cases, I don’t think it was a mental health issue. I think Rob on the corner got drunk.)
I thought you were specifically talking about homeless people when you wrote "homeless people yelling in the middle of the night"? So instead of doing something about homelessness, you'd rather the police make their lives more miserable because you think yelling homeless people are mentally capable and should've known better than to become homeless. You think they're a "drunk" "nuisance."
