One of the problems with the sophistry at work here is that the definition of "defunding" keeps changing. Define the term.
Yes, I would say stripping departments of tens of millions of dollars is "defunding." Yes, it is absurd to argue, for example, that if San Fran isn't disbanding its police force, it must mean that none of the lunatics on local government want to abolish the police eventually or at least defund them to levels at which they are completely ineffective.
The count, as of a couple months ago, was something like 13 major U.S. cities had begun defunding. That doesn't include all the mid-sized cities, like Austin, Madison and others, with lunatic city councils and mayors who are committed to diverting money from the police to unscientific, proven failure methods, along with more social workers and equity shysters. As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, LA's massive cuts are about to claim its sex crimes unit.
But "no one wants to defund the police!"
