I understand “defund the police” isn’t the best language, but where was all the outrage when they were defunding education, defunding Headstart, defunding hunger & anti-poverty programs, defunding violence prevention programs, defunding peace projects & defunding social services?

Reform is the better word. Also, reorganize, update, etc.

Cities will have no choice but to reduce the amount of money that they pay the police and how they are structured. When taxes are not collected and income goes down something has to go. It will happen everywhere.

they were calling it reform instead of defund

Nobody would use that terminology as it was too blatant but defunding was exactly what happened across the board. It’s time to “refund” all of our social systems that were looted to militarize the police.

Defund and reallocate

It is the best language and we should be posting city budgets like crazy.....showing percentage spent on policing in every city
