You can't make good policies as emotional reaction of a recent event. I have seen next to 0 non-radical politically feasible research from left wing or black think tanks. Most of the research focused on reducing police violence comes from the Libertarian think tanks like Cato or Fee. Conservative think tanks somehow like police brutality. President's tweet today[1] perfectly summarizes the position of conservatives on police violence.
"Defund the police" could have been sensible slogan had these people talked about it for last 10 years producing research and suggestions. Right now it is just a rallying cry.
