>One would imagine that many if not most police officers support some kinds of sensible reform but probably hesitate to support "defunding" their wages and have their and their colleagues jobs cut, which is what "defund" really sounds like. I'd argue that the reason that folks rallied 'defund' is that police aren't willing to accept reasonable reform and they have enough power to keep it from happening. Reform isn't realistic in a system that required the group being reformed to consent to the type of reform. I'm personally a fan of 'reallocate' police funds.
