"defund the police" wasn't a call to get rid of the police or cut their funding in a vacuum, but instead to spend less on police while spending that money on social services that would handle many of mental health and domestic issues that police are called to but ill-equiped to handle.

It was a terrible/name slogan.

Not to defend the conservatives in any way, but nuance is a scarce good when discussing about politics with most people, no matter their political orientation.

I don't think it is just a marketing problem. Lots of evidence to conclude that as a policy initiative it is flawed and detrimental to the communities that adopt that approach.
