The calls for defunding are not calls to abolish the police.

People are asking to reduce the funding of police departments, shrink the police force, and divert those funds to community projects that address the causes of crime and violence. They're calling for greater investment in schools, in mental health services, and community-lead organizations that help to curtail the origins of crime.

They saying that we've had a policy of "criminalizing the symptoms while spreading the disease," which sounds like it's almost if not exactly what you're talking about, ong. Limiting the power of the top % to isolate and vilify people, increasing the ability of people to come together and solve their own problems, not eliminating policing, but reducing it, and redirecting the funds to more effective solutions.
