I don't get it to be honest. Vancouver has safe injection sites so why do they let these people shoot up outside. Why can't the local police enforce the laws?

Injection sites aren't restricting themselves to having people inject at the location. They hand out free needles for people to inject whereever they want (outside their site) - their goal is to hand out free paraphernalia for drug users to inject "safely".
