If you consider the murder closure rate in most cities, selective enforcement of violent crimes seems absolutely normal - the cops simply will not find everyone who kills someone and track them down. They're not very good at it.

This undermines a lot of the certainty of punishment and therefore the deterring factor of law enforcement, of course.

Not sure what you're trying to assert here, though. You bring up selective enforcement, but then describe a lack of competence in solving murders. I suppose both things can be happening, but they are not the same thing.
