(Disclaimer: I don't fully agree with the position but I felt it there is context collapse[0] happening that I want to push back against because I think context collapse is deeply poisonous to intelligent conversation.) My understanding is "defund the police" is actually within the context that efforts to reform policing as an institution in america have broadly failed, so the only solution to try and make less-shitty police is to burn the institution to the ground and rebuild anew. In that context, "defund the police" makes total sense from the perspective of an activist who is agitating for a better system of community safety. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_collapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_collapse
