The timing of the "defund" movement was problematic, I think, because police would point to any talk of cuts as a response to that movement rather than mayors/cities making tough calls. Even *before* George Floyd's murder, the MPLS police union head was opposing any potential cuts, dismissing funding for critical social services. All that mattered was keeping his own budget intact.
