I think his point is that the guy was already on the cop's radar as potentially being up to no good yet nothing was done. Law enforcement dropping the ball seems like a common fact pattern in these kinds of things. I get that you can't just imprison or otherwise institutionalize people without some offense being committed but there's got to be a better way than just ignoring it until they go postal.
