Once More For Those In The Back
We started with "reform the police" but it was either ignored or diluted to the point of being ineffective.
We toyed with "abolish the police" because we figured that professionals like social workers, fire fighters and medics could fill a lot of the needed roles, with the community stepping up to fill any other gaps.
We settled on "defund the police" because they are being militarized to a ridiculous degree, and the money could be better used to combat crime in other ways (improving education and/or reducing poverty).
