"Defund the police" is more of a Republican parody of Democrats than anything else. It's a Fox News slogan. No substantial portion of the Democratic Party supports this, or ever has.

But it's a great way to lie about your political opponents to keep anything rational from being done about gun violence or other issues.

The slogans "Defund the police" and even "Abolish the police" were in fact quite common in BLM protests and the like. They're not something that Fox News just came up with to ridicule Democrats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defund_the_police

Plenty of prominent Democrats quotes here that say otherwise.
