“Defund the Police” and “police abolition” does not mean get rid of law enforcement. It means that police officers should only focus on policing. Not drug overdoses, that for an EMT. Attempted suicide? Mental breakdown? Schizophrenic hallucinations? Mental health professional. Family skirmish? Domestic violence? Abuse? Trained therapist. Crowd control can be done with private security firms. Many police veterans are for it. Like everything else in this country, the unions (and insurance) get in the way.
