You are right. But, let's complete the idea to make it bulletproof. Regardless of moving goalposts due to changing definitions, the luxury belief still remains: Reallocate (vs defund) police still moves funds around. Funds are not infinite. - Less police means more crime. This means fewer personnel to combat crime. Crime strikes directly at the poorest. - Less police means more mental care. This means more personnel and facilities to combat mental cases. This had been tried already, with no meaningful decrease in mental problems.
