Case study of one - Pigeon Bagel in Squirrel Hill had a "defund the police" sign up last year. I asked "what does that mean? like move resources around?" Woman working at Pigeons' response was "no, it means abolish the police."
So at least some of the defund people mean completely defund and abolish the police.

I don't think your position is an extreme position. Happy to have the conversation about increasing funding for other public services.
However, I do consider it an extreme position to abolish the police and prisons, which is exactly what certain groups advocate for.

Great work by the police. They quickly found surveillance footage, reviewed it, and identified where these two were staying. Catching them with the weapons means they have a strong case against them and it won't end up in an acquittal like the BBQ shooting a few years ago.
This case is a good example to point to when defund extremists start talking about how the police don't do anything.
