The defund the police is the slogan to catch the attention of people but it's not the end of the idea. We could do so much better if we sat down and redesign the system. Like for example we could replace some of the responsibilities of them with social workers that are not just soldiers and understand more than just more force or perhaps we could give the traffic enforcement job to the department of transportation so that they could fix the road network instead of just extracting protection Money from the population and search a car because it (smells like weed)
Better response time. The argument is not to just cut funds to police it's to move the money and responsibilities elsewhere to better service the community. Think of how much faster they would be if they didn't have to worry about stopping random people for minor traffic violations and the like.
