It's worth noting that "homeless" is an umbrella label for many street people with various problems. From a government fact sheet:
• 26.2% of all sheltered persons who were homeless had a severe mental illness
• 34.7% of all sheltered adults who were homeless had chronic substance use issues
The odds are pretty good that police confrontations with homeless mean the guy was drunk and/or was severely mental.
(The above were samples from sheltered homeless. I'm sure the figures are higher for those that actually sleep on the streets.)
