I'm all for cutting back on police budgets. Many police departments and justice systems seem to have turned into a self serving machine where self preservation and growth is its primary objective. I think defund was originally along those lines (cut back) but got propagandized into "abolish" by said self servicing agencies. The police budget in my medium sized city is $450 million a year. I think ending qualified immunity would go a long way in keeping police power in check; they seem to have gone rogue in many municipalities today over the last 30 years or so. They seem more like an occupying army than a police force; something you should steer clear of because you can't predict what they will do, and they suffer few repercussions for their bad actions.
