People can’t understand you can’t have both protecting the poor and not enforcing laws against the poor at the same time

You can be poor and obey the law. You can protect the poor and enforce the law.
It is the weird identity politics is what gets in the way.
There's a easier solution by crime caused by poor people: they stop being poor. The fact that nobody tried is the thing that should be studied instead.
The poor are impacted by lawlessness far more than the rich. No private security or fancy neighbourhoods. Cutting down on actually harmful bad behaviour (and by this I mean dealers and muggers, not broken taillights) is the best thing you can do for poor people.
This is nonsense. You absolutely can have both -- typically by building systems to eliminate poverty and reduce income inequality.
