>Sorry to say but who ever decided that the phrase "defund the police" is good or smart made a huge mistake. Or they may have deliberately picked a phrase that would upset and confuse a large number of people. I believe it was Black Lives Matter (an organisation whose name is literally a divisive statement) that coined that phrase, or at least popularised it. To be honest with you, if you look at their actions, I'm not sure if the goal is to actually end police violence/abuse of power. If that did happen, all of these influential activists would suddenly be out of a "job".
