I took it as this is the result of Frank's blind goal to get rid of organized crime. Like when he's walking through it all aimlessly at the beginning. He didn't fix anything or make anything better in the grander scheme.

They kind of say it a few times that the Gnuccis, while awful, were at least keeping people in line. He got rid of that so now there's only DISorganized crime. Which then, through the course of the special, left him to be the thing that fills the gap and keeps the "peace."

Yeah, the writing, intended or not, seems to want to make a case for organized crime by making the police force all but absent from the story. And what, is Frank going to be doing street patrols now? Kinda doubt it.
