Did you call the police after this person made a threat on your life?

What would the police do about it, arrest the homeless person? Would the local criminal justice system have the capacity to charge and convict them if the cops did so? Many of the cities where visible homelessness is a problem also have shortages of cops that cause them to triage what sorts of incidents they send an officer to respond to?
I probably would not have called the police after this person if this happened to me, because I expect they would do nothing about it.
