If you defund police, what do you think will be cut first? The control organs and oversight, or the thing they should oversee?

That's why you don't just go to the cops and say "find $1B in your budget to cut". You give specifics.

So you are saying that the police force is a extra-governmental organization that has full control over how they allocate funds?

All the more reason to reduce their funding!

Sounds like theft, fraud, and abuse to me! Where's the DOGE team digging into police and military budgets?
