Reasonable suggestions, I think you are probably correct. I do believe that the zeitgeist that wants to abolish or defund the police does genuinely mean that they do not want the police to exist in any capacity. They mean abolish in the sense that the asylum system was abolished.

>I do believe that the zeitgeist that wants to abolish or defund the police does genuinely mean that they do not want the police to exist in any capacity. I think that idea / narrative makes it easy to circumvent any reasonable discussion on the topic in the political / media sphere. I think we're nearly at a critical point, if not already. The police were so brazen to beat up and gas news people covering protests, while being filmed doing it. I'm not a big fan of Vox, but here's a fairly comprehensive article (with video) of what went on. https://www.vox.com/identities/2020/5/31/21276013/police-targeted-journalists-covering-george-floyd-protests https://www.vox.com/identities/2020/5/31/21276013/police-tar... To use a bit of rhetoric, this doesn't look like policing, this looks like occupation.
