In "West Side Story," the police are unable to effectively communicate with the gangs due to the deep-rooted tensions and animosities between them. The rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks creates an environment of mistrust and hostility, making it difficult for law enforcement to mediate or intervene. Additionally, the gangs operate outside the law and are resistant to outside authority, viewing police as adversaries rather than allies. This lack of communication exacerbates the violence and conflict within the community.
