In the eyes of most people they are the same. Using obvious words in subtle ways makes it hard to people to differentiate.

Just as Republicans don't claim to be democrats, defund the police means removing all funding for police, etc.

OP phrased that weirdly (and apparently doesn’t know that no one calls themselves a small d democrat - just not a phrase normal people use).

The point though, is that most people who support ending police brutality know that BLM Global Network Foundation is mismanaged. There are many other groups doing work to fight against police brutality which have more support from people involved in that movement.
