How popular was “defund the police”? Do you have any facts or figures? I took “defund the police” to be a knee jerk reaction to having one of the largest prison populations per capita, the most money spent on policing, combined with a violent and racist history - a good number of people are (rightfully) fed up. I don’t think it was ever broadly popular. We could cut our police budgets by a massive amount and still be overspending on it.
