What does "defund the police" mean, exactly?
It depends who you ask.
"Defunding" can mean anything from completely dismantling a police force to transferring a portion of police funding to social programs that benefit communities of color.
I'm all for transferring funds from bloated police department budgets to programs that lift up our communities, but I think as long as we're a society that has violence, robbery and easy access to guns – no matter your skin color – we'll need some sort of police force.
Personally, I'm more worried about defunding education, financial protections and environmental regulations than defunding police departments.
