There have been many cases to support why defunding would be necessary, such as the death of George Floyd. Although there are cops that claim he was a threat, they handled that claim by suffocating him. As well as this, the creation of Cop City in Atlanta has alarmed people due to its frightening nature.

Without the police being properly funded, criminals will feel more obligated to commit crimes. The police install a fear factor within the country that helps keep people accountable for themselves. Without proper funds, they will appear weak and useless in the eyes of citizens.

There are ways to regulate the behaviors of people without instilling fear in them. A much more effective alternative would be to defund the militaristic side of the police and push for something more community-based that still holds citizens accountable.
