"Democrats" is a broad term. That's possibly true of "centrist" / "moderate" DINOs, but if you look at, say, folks who set up the CHOP in Seattle (who might not proudly call themselves Democrats, but are far more likely to vote for a Democrat than a Republican), they very clearly did not want the cops to so much as investigate an actual murder. I think most people realize that if they call for less policing, they're calling for less policing, and they really do mean what they're asking for. (To be clear, I'm speaking about my own beliefs here: I think there should be less policing, and I fully realize that means less investigation of murders. You cannot give up essential liberty for temporary security.)
