Liberals come up with the most easily twisted slogans. The 1% thing threatened too many people, should have been the .001%. Defund the police has nothing much to do with the actual policy we want, but guess how it sounds.

Defund the police has nothing much to do with the actual policy we want

My city has a $3B budget and $1B of it goes to cops. And every year the divide gets worse.

100% "Defund the Police" is what I want. It's bleeding every other city service and amenity dry.
