I agree, "defunding" (at least when it actually means more than reform) is more of an emotional outburst than a solution to anything. People have a right to be emotional over what policing has become, but kicking and screaming alone is counterproductive. If we really want to reform the police we're going to have to be prepared to invest more money into it than ever since we'll need massive amounts of training, data collection, firings following by new hires, and oversight. None of that is going to be cheap.
