I think the biggest problem is that they don't know what they want.  I bet you talk to 10 different protestors that are in different protests you'll get at least 5 different answers.  They all want the police defunded, but have no idea how they are going to prevent crime once that's done.  Me, I think they are going about this the wrong way.  I think instead of defunding, they need to go through the force with a fine tooth comb and weed out the bad cops.  Also maybe some more training for the good ones.  That's what I would be all in for if this made a difference to me.
