You don't need to presume; just read their platform. They want the police to stop filling the vacuum left by lack of social services (i.e. police currently respond to people mental distress because there are no social workers who currently do that). They want to defund the police and have the money directed to social services so that police stop being a jack of all trades (especially since they are not trained in deescalation).
Public education has been defunded for decades, but we still have teachers and public schools, and their charter alternatives - that should be your mental model not abolishment of police.
